People are saying that an ideal population size for the human race would be 4 billion people (around that of 50 years ago). And then using that as a means to promote conspiracies of population thinning.

Where are all the bodies going?

I mean, it's a sense among the commoners. School-aged kids, people about to exit the workforce. It's all over Reddit, Facebook, Instagram. Little questions here and there. If you haven't run into it, you're extremely isolated by something. Or, lack the ability to pick up on the most basic of social cues. Hell, I've seen it on Mastodon.

Maybe instead you should get out of Reddit, Facebook and Instagram a little. To see the real "commoners". Meet more people with blood pressure instead of tokens.

Travel around the world a little to realise how huge it is. You might realise there is no one group called "commoners". People living around you might see the world your way (maybe they should also leave Facebook and Instagram?) but that doesn't mean much.

It isn't just me, mate. I've got contacts from several states expressing the same things. Hell, some of the people I used to know from Europe are posting the same crap. And, I am a "commoner."
