Need them for what? To work at jobs that only exist to support all the extra people? Why is it so important for us to damage and destroy our biome beyond recovery?

"Climate Change" is as much of a red herring here as "because of the color of their skin" is when socks tries to divert focus from the real reasons.

No, it's because all problems facing humanity would literally not be problems anymore with a population level appropriate to our habitable territory. Look out a plane window and you'll see vast areas of the surface converted to industrial food production. Water use is restricted because there are now too many people for the supply. Population concentrations like NYC, LA, and Chicago exist...

We're in the boom phase of the boom/bust cycle in mammal populations.

If you can't get birth rates stable there is no future for White people even if we had our own country, in a couple hundred years the population will shrink by half each generation until there is no one left.

We must grow cancerously at the cost of everything we value and hold dear.

This programming certainly has its appeal... But it's also the primary driver behind all the problems in the world.

The population needs to be a small fraction of our current numbers. How to get back there from 'here' has no apparent easy solution, but total destruction lies ahead. We may end up having to choose partial destruction.

I disagree that the population would continuously shrink by half until no one is left. The challenge would be to keep it from ballooning out of control again.

There is zero reason to think this when the birthrate of most White populations is close to 1, it is already extremely close to dividing in half each generation in all European countries and White America. It's not easy to bring birthrates back to replacement level and has never happened before. If you think you can bring the White population down to 5 million (like the Georgia guide stones) through falling birthrates and then just say have 2 kids each now, then that is stupid and obviously wouldn't work.
