You cannot genuinely address overpopulation as a problem until everything else is well on its way to being solved. It cannot be done.

The overpopulation becomes an excuse for genocides become an excuse to fix nothing. It is literally not an addressable problem you can even think about fixing in a productive manner until capitalism inequality and the abundant acceptance/organization/tools of coercive powers are well on their way to being solved.

To do so is just genocidal black-lung propaganda.

You're both right. That's why it's such a thorny problem.

I'm not saying it isn't an issue, I'm saying its impossible to address and maybe less than useless to try right now for reasons stated.
