Why does the left no longer stand up for the little guy? The little guy – the factory and shop worker, the small business proprietor, the two-job family – looked on in dismay as the titans of tech joined with the Democratic Party to deprive them of their livelihoods.

There never was a left or right and they never stood for you.

This is where the term “useless eaters” comes from and why the elites want most of us dead in the first place.

Elaborate...

If you google the term, you'd be admitting that, like me, you never switched to one of the functionally inferior alternatives. But you'd also find results saying the nazis discriminated against "life unworthy of life” (useless eaters), and strove for a society composed of functional and productive members.

It does raise the question of why the elites promoted such a blatantly unsustainable level of overpopulation in the first place. What are all those extra people for? To feed them, we're stripping the oceans of life, and destroying vast ecosystems necessary to the survival of the human species.

In 2020, Earth Overshoot Day fell on August 22. Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity has exhausted nature's budget for the year. For the rest of the year, we are maintaining our ecological deficit by drawing down local resource stocks and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

And

According to the report by UNEP's International Resource Panel, by 2050, human beings could devour an estimated 140 billion tons of minerals, ores, fossil fuels and biomass per year – three times the current consumption rate.

Aside from the politics of everything, shit is going to hit the fan in a major way in a future near you.

The elites like a large population because the competition for jobs keeps wages low.

When no one in the West wants to be a cleaner on minimum wage answer from the elites is always "let's bring people in who will work for that wage" never "We should pay more for crappy jobs so people will want to do them."

I must have a different perspective than the 'elites', despite having somewhat of a belief in elitism.

Ruling over a dystopian hell hole from atop a huge pile of money would seem less desirable than ruling over a more wonderful and happy society from ground level. Their end game mystifies me.

Why assume there's an endgame for most of them.

They are driven by their short term lusts more than normal people because there's no consequences.

It's the middle class you have to watch in regards to long term plotting, as we're seeing with wokeness and it's slow take over of all the institutions.

Environmentalists are so useless. The problem with excess people is not their carbon emissions, the problem with excess people is going to be the fact that automation is going to destroy many semi-skilled and lower jobs in the next few generations.

Who gives a fuck about the Great Barrier Reef is there are millions of people in this world who are functionally a serf class to the few people at the top.

True, and those excess people shouldn't exist in the first place. Have recently been talking chicken tractors with a couple people. (movable chicken coop with open bottom so the chickens can be moved to access fresh grass and bugs) We can't move people to other planets or places, and our excess numbers are stripping our biome.
