So what are the reasons people want population control and what
methods are available to carry out such a task. That is what I will be
discussing today.
Reasons for population control: There are a few reasons for population
control. One of the first is due to natural resources. A country or
a planet has a certain amount of resources that are accessible to a population
at any given time due to technology. Governments are faced with the issue
of insuring their populations remain small enough so that they do not outgrow
the resources available or else famines, and starvation can occur (this is also
a reason for conducting war). This same reasoning is applied to things
like climate change with us humans being the cause. That if there were
less of us, the climate would not be so messed up. Basically it is all
about preserving resources or the environment. However, the other reason
may be to get rid of undesirables. In this case people of various races,
ethnicities, religions, etc. may be subject to population control measures due
to discrimination.
Methods: Methods abound, the simplest one is immigration.
By not letting certain peoples into a country where they may thrive, it
is possible to keep them in an unhealthy environment and thus limit how long
they will live out their lives. Or at the very least not strain the
country's resources. Marriage and breeding laws. It is possible to breed
out certain segments of the population by promoting ideas of racial purity or
similar, or even forcing people to get permission to have children.
Sterilization and government enforced contraceptives are another method.
It actually has been talked about in the U.S. to introduce a sterilizing
agent into the water supply by radical environmentalists. Abortion is another
with respect to those who do not have permission to have children, or the
advocating of pregnancy as a disease which Margaret Sanger once did as a means
to eliminate Black Americans in her plan for voluntary genocide. Even
selective breeding and arranged marriages can be used as another means.
Of course execution/murder is yet another method where the most obvious
targets would be criminals, or small minority groups like the mentally disabled
(people who again drain resources or are undesirable). Even willful
neglect of the sick or infirm are potential methods. All methods work, but a
careful propaganda campaign will be needed to make it all socially palatable.
Conclusion: Obviously I do not believe in
population control. Not even a little bit as I would rather the
inevitable famine and starvation than committing the act of murder.
However people really do advocate and do these things. China being
one of them with their one child policy (now experimenting with two children)
and their forced sterilization of women and execution of criminals.
Hitler of course did the racial purity garbage, and he unfortunately was
not alone as he got the ideas from Americans who believed in the Eugenics
movement. So why am I telling you about this? Simple, in order to
never allow this to occur again, you must be given all the knowledge of how
atrocities are carried out. You must see humanity's ugliness to prevent
us all from becoming a menace.
