So far my best bets have been talking about the Demographic Transition Model - i.e, as wealth goes up, birth rates decline, so uplift the poor and we'll be fine.

I also say that we have enough resources to go around if we stop allowing 1 man to use the resources of 100.

Theres also people with mad conspiracies that the government is trying to decrease birth rates by promoting LGBT stuff. To that I've said I also say that the current system of capitalism is all about growth and making money, and more people = more money. They don't want to thin us down.

What else can I say? It seems to be a very common belief.

    They believe overpopulation is a problem, but also believe that the government is trying to curtail overpopulation by turning their daughters gay, and that that's a bad thing?
