Different anon.

Basically, this thought process is at the back of every Malthusian panic, every "we must get people to have fewer children", every "the world cannot sustain this many people", every "we must increase sex education and contraceptives in third world countries, because those stupid poor people have too many children", and a good chunk of environmentalism as a whole.

And I say this as someone who believes there is strong evidence of anthropocentric climate change, and as someone who tries hard to reduce my environmental impact. There are creepy undercurrents in mainstream environmentalism, hence why the Green Party in the UK used to propose caps on family size (I don't know if they still do). It's the culture of death, and it's why many third world communities side-eye the Hell out of the scientific 'missionaries' who come to fix them.

But what do you care? Why would it matter to you if, for example, every person on the planet was sterilised so that there was no next generation? I know why I'd care, but I don't think you agree with me in terms of the value of all human life.

Now, this is the sort of thing I'm more accustomed to hearing in response to statements like the OP's. As opposed to telling them to stop being a speshul snowflake hipster Sephiroth, which is an even more intellectually bankrupt non-argument than the initial one.

I agree with you so much. I hate how people talk about how poor people are having "too many children" so we need to teach them about contraceptives and sex education.

We need to teach everybody everywhere (I'm not excluding developed countries considering some of the massively incorrect information I've seen people in America and Canada sprout as the truth when it comes to sex ed), and make sure they have access too, since knowledge is useless without the tools about contraceptives so that everyone everywhere (particularly women and trans men since, you know, they actually have to carry the babies to term) can decide how many kids they'd like to have.
