Predecessor(s)Eugenics
A less obviously racist replacement for eugenics, designed to shift focus away from over consumption.

"Overpopulation" is a word used to suggest that there are too many humans on earth, or too many in certain areas. The idea is not new: in 1798, Malthus stated that population grows geometrically where as food supply grows only linear. "Overpopulation" was an argument to discredit the poor at the time (Lewontin). It is typically used by people in countries with relatively low (but rich) populations that are high consumers of material goods. The term is also a replacement for the word "eugenics", which was discredited after the defeat of the Nazis in 1945.

Victim blaming

Full article: Population control

The word "overpopulation", and a lot of the associated dogma and language conjures a simple frame of scarcity by sharing a fixed amount of things between too many people. To the extent that this overlooks a history and/or present of plunder by colonial powers (i.e. "developed" nation states) it is a form of victim blaming: people here are poor because there are too many of them, not because the country has been looted by foreigners determined to get more resources which they themselves deplete at an unjustifiable high rate.

Significance in Geopolitics

"People are the only vital raw material for building human societies. Without people, the most elegant architectures and the most advanced infrastructures are nothing but archeological marvels waiting to be recognized. With people, a handful of sands in desolate landscapes could turn into a flourishing civilization. This simple most essential fact did not escape the attention of, nor was it dismissed so callously by any people of any generation bar those of our modern era. Historically, if a society wished to thrive and prosper on social, cultural, economic, and scientific grounds, or any other human concerns, its most rudimentary first step was to grow its population. A population that does not physically grow, stagnates and withers away. Along the same lines, if a society was deemed as an impediment to expansionists who coveted its lands and resources, the mechanism for the aggressor was rather simple: reduce that society’s population by killing as many of its people as possible if you are interested in a cross-sectional plunder. Kill or capture as many of its women of child-bearing age as possible to stop it from growing if you are determined to make your loot absolute."[1]

Advocates

White Wilderness, a 1958 Disney "documentary" that misrepresented migration behavior of Lemmings and implied that due to "overpopulation" some animals will see to drown to help the situation.[2][3][4]

Macfarlane Burnet

The Nobel Prize winner Frank Macfarlane Burnet, who once received a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation,[5] in 1947 secretly urged the Australian government to develop biological weapons for use against Indonesia and other overpopulated countries of South-East Asia, by targeting food crops and spreading infectious diseases.[6][7]

Jonas Salk

Jonas Salk, an American virologist and medical researcher, who developed one of the first successful polio vaccines argues in his 1973 book: "Survival of the Wisest", that as much as population growth has been a factor for survival of the human species in the past, now population control becomes a factor for survival.[8][9]

National Security Study Memorandum 200

NSSM 200 from December 10, 1974, also called 'The Kissinger report', concluded that: "a far larger, high-level effort is needed [...] to bring population growth under control" and "although world population growth is widely recognized within the Government as a current danger of the highest magnitude calling for urgent measures, it does not rank high on the agendas of conversations with leaders of other nations".[10]

Under Policy Recommendations it says:

  • 28. World policy and programs in the population field should incorporate two major objectives:
"The Population Bomb" an alarmist 1968 book by Paul R. Ehrlich that predicted worldwide famine and other major societal upheavals. It advocated immediate action to limit population growth and brought the idea of overpopulation to a wider audience.
    • (a) actions to accommodate continued population growth up to 6 billions by the mid-21st century without massive starvation or total frustration of developmental hopes; and
    • (b) actions to keep the ultimate level as close as possible to 8 billions rather than permitting it to reach 10 billions, 13 billions, or more.

Denise Horn of the Northeastern University in a 2012 paper analyses (emphasis not in the original text):[11]

"[...] the original intent of ‘population control’ was to protect US access to raw resources and maintain US global supremacy. US family policies did not first identify woman as the object to be controlled, but policies have changed such that women's bodies have become a symbolic representation of – and site of resistance to – the power relationships between the US and developing states. The change in the rhetoric – from population control to family planning, women's empowerment, environmental sustainability and human rights – does not mean the ‘rules’ enforced by the hegemon have changed so much as it indicates a process of identity formation occurring through the implementation of these rules.

The history of US family planning policies is a story of national security issues played out on women’s bodies, in the developing world and within the shifting discourses of women’s empowerment, environmental protection and resource control. US funding for family planning programs continues to inflame passions on both sides of the debate: family planning either represents an imperative of a woman’s right to reproductive choice or is in conflict with conservative values and the right to life. US domestic debates over abortion rights are played out on the international stage as successive administrations defend or weaken international family planning programs. These political and rhetorical positions, however, belie American foreign policy goals that have been in place since the 1960s and 1970s, when policy makers identified overpopulation as a serious threat to the world’s resources and American security concerns.

Global 2000

The 'Global 2000 Report to the President' from August 1, 1980 predicted: "The environment will have lost important life-supporting capabilities. By 2000, 40 percent of the forests still remaining in the LDC's in 1978 will have been razed. The atomspheric concentration of carbon dioxide will be nearly one-third higher than preindustrial levels. Soil erosion will have removed, on the average, several inches of soil from croplands allover the world. Desertification (including salinization) may have claimed a significant fraction of the world's rangeland and cropland. Over little more than two decades, 15-20 percent of the earth's total species of plants and animals will have become extinct — a loss of at least 500,000 species" concluding "thus anyone with a present life expectancy of an additional 50 years could expect to see the world population reach 10 billion. The same rate of growth would produce a population of nearly 30 billion before the end of the twenty-first century. Here it must be emphasized that, unlike most of the Global 2000 Study projections, the population projections assume extensive policy changes and developments to reduce fertility rates".[12]

Georgia Guidestones

The Georgia Guidestones destroyed after being bombed

The Georgia Guidestones, was a monument in Georgia whose financially wealthy erector(s) wanted to remain anonymous. They proposed a limit of 500,000,000 humans on the planet. The guidestones were bombed at around 4am on 6 July 2022, completely pulverizing one of the pillars. The entire monument was demolished later the same day.[13] CCM elected not explore the possible motives behind the bombing.

Indirect support by "science"

According to some archaeologists - fantasizing about rather exactly known ancient climate data - water supplies, plagues, climate and "civilization" might be correlated in the following ways:

Overpopulation and the overreliance on irrigation was a major factor in making the Maya vulnerable to failure:

the trigger event of their collapse appears to have been a long drought beginning about 840 A.D. (communication of V. Scarborough, an archaelogist (sic!) from the University of Cincinnati [90]). Among many factors, such as war and plagues, that contributed to many of the collapses of ancient societies, there seem to be two main causes: too many people and too little fresh water. As a consequence, the civilization became vulnerable to environmental stress, for instance, a prolonged drought or a change in climate [90].

The societies themselves appear to have contributed to their own demise by encouraging growth of their population to levels that carried the seeds of their own decline through overexploitation of the land (communication of C. Scarre, an archaelogist (sic!) from the Cambridge University in England [90]). Similarly, the Akkadian empire in Mesopotamia, the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the Indus Valley civilization in India,

and early societies in Palestine, Greece, and Crete all collapsed in a catastrophic drought and cooling of the atmosphere between 2300 and 2200 B.C.”
Didier Sornette (2003)  [14]

Debunking Malthusian claims

Full article: Thomas Malthus

The population control and eugenics discussion fostered by Gates and Schwab (see: Club of Rome) centers around the theses, that population grows exponentially, where as food production grows only linearly (so called Malthusian trap). This thesis is not confirmed by biologists observing actual population dynamics in mammals.[citation needed] Several studies confirm, that when food supplies are getting scarce

they grow more slowly, reproduce less, and populations decline. [15]

This general finding is in opposition to Malthus' claims. Not mortality rate is growing ("stupid, machine-like reproduction"), but rather birth rate declines when resources are scarce.

Predator prey dynamics

Humans engage in intraspecies predation.[16] They are the only species who make slaves and hold other humans like domestic animals. The effect of intraspecies predation on population dynamics is poorly understood. It involves investigation of the question how the threat of being preyed upon effects birth rate. A hypotheses is, that human prey makes up for the perceived threat by increasing their reproduction rate. It is known that humans living under precarious conditions have a much higher birth rate than the middle class[citation needed], likely because of what's called predation pressure by biologists. Predation in the form of population control (forced sterilization and vaccination) might therefore have the effect of an arms race between prey (increased reproduction) and predators.

But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes.

The real enemy then is humanity itself.”Alexander King

Paul Ehrlich“The optimum population of Earth – enough to guarantee the minimal physical ingredients of a decent life to everyone – was 1.5 to 2 billion people rather than the 7 billion who are alive today or the 9 billion expected in 2050...How many you support depends on lifestyles. We came up with 1.5 to 2 billion because you can have big active cities and wilderness. If you want a battery chicken world where everyone has minimum space and food and everyone is kept just about alive you might be able to support in the long term about 4 or 5 billion people. But you already have 7 billion. So we have to humanely and as rapidly as possible move to population shrinkage.

Some maybe slow motion disasters like people getting more and more hungry, or catastrophic disasters because the more people you have the greater the chance of some weird virus transferring from animal to human populations, there could be a vast die-off." [...]

Philip Mountbatten“Human population growth is probably the single most serious long-term threat to survival. We’re in for a major disaster if it isn’t curbed—not just for the natural world, but for the human world. The more people there are, the more resources they’ll consume, the more pollution they’ll create, the more fighting they’ll do. We have no option. If it isn’t controlled voluntarily, it will be controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease, starvation and war.

Can you give me an example?

I was in Sri Lanka recently, where a United Nations project set out in the late 1940s to eradicate malaria. It’s an island and it was therefore possible to destroy the mosquito carrying the disease. What people didn’t realize was that malaria was actually controlling the growth of the population. The consequence was that within about 20 years the population doubled. Now they’ve got to find something for all those people to do and some way to feed them.”

Aurelio Peccei“Otherwise, some solution will come the hard way. Many hypotheses have been advanced. I will cite three ghastly solutions that are ventilated as belonging to the realm of the possible. One is biological: nature, which maintains so many balances, will see to it that human incontinence will be remedied, through some new germ or virus. Another is constrictive and prophylactic: the day may not be far off when—by grafting of population from one region to another, forced exodus, or mass sterilization, or with the help of other clean methods biochemistry might suggest — a ceiling on population or new births will be enforced, in some nations by due process of law, in others perhaps by international measures. And the third, the harshest, is hinted at in a most pessimistic essay by Professor J. D. Bernal (Enormity or Logic and Hypocrisy in the Ultimate Solution, October 1967) — "there is no limit to human folly and callousness" —in the sense that all will end, as the only compassionate and rational solution left, with the elimination of all surplus humans, who will of course belong to the poor of the world.
