    reduction in the amount of humans was beneficial for the vast amount of humans in the long run.

    This is literally Nazi speech. This is literally genocide rhetoric. Shame on you.

    The Black Death lead to people literally dying. It wasn’t beneficial in the long run at all. It killed millions. That’s a lot of human data both in DNA terms and knowledge that died. That’s a lot of inventions dead.

    When workers must work for a capitalist, or a king, or a pharoah, and they lose their bargaining power, their conditions are bad. Not when there’s “lots” of them. That’s just the nature of humans being a social species, we are made for “lots” of us. As long as we are each empowered, then having people alive and thriving is no issue.
