To be fair this isn't an uncommon wish even outside the elite.

Let's start eliminating the elites and work our way down.

This is the one thing I tend to agree with them on

You really shouldn't. The ideal thing would be trying our best to free everyone from the madness. I'm sure the biggest obstacle for society to become healthy again are the corrupt oligarchies. By accepting their genocide as just not only are you lowering yourself to their level but also abandoning the responsibilities that you have with your own people.

I didn't say I accept their genocide, I am merely stating that I agree that 8 billion is a higher than optimal number of humans for this planet.

I'm sure the biggest obstacle for society to become healthy again are the corrupt oligarchies.

I also agree with you that there are larger problems than the population

I'm sorry if I took it that way. But still, I don't think anyone really needs to be sacrificed, just a redistribution of resources is enough.

They’ve only marketed it the last few centuries.
