Do you have anything else from him suggesting he's a fascist? His statement is factual, and the premise itself is sound. As another poster mentioned, raising the standard of living and providing women reproductive choice naturally ewsults in lower population growth.
nope, I’m just pointing out that “population control” is used as a fascist dogwhistle and education access and reproductive choice are good things on their own, but it’s pretty weird that you bring them up as a good thing in the context of “reduces total number of brown people”

Per point 2, I didn't mention brown people. I think it's great that many nations have brought their growth rate down to around replacement levels and look forward to everyone having the technology and social ability to do so.

yeah, it's totally natural and not at all racist when talking about sustainability to bring up not capitalist modes of mass production or unsustainable carbon emissions or even food waste but just to launch right into how other countries need to control their populations good job

I'm aware of it's use as a fascist dogwhistle.. just asking if JR-D has a history of that, or if he's just stating that more people = more population, and that we should be scared of bringing that up. Per point 2 (wish you could thread replies)...

.. and, for that matter, JR-D didn't mention "population control". Now, he might be all for that (which would def be a fascist outlook), but there's a big diff between controlling other populations and advocating for lower overall population growth.
