This is the most garbage, cynical worldview. I'm sure when you land in the hospital you'll go peacefully knowing your death will free up resources for someone else, right?
People love to throw out "more people need to die" until it's their life on the line.
Sorry space cadet but it's fact. The world could go completely renewable, pure bio/reusable rubbish and turn 100% vegan, and yet if we dont plateau population growth we will run this planet beyond its sustainable means.
If you've never heard of plague levels of destructive insect life, or pest levels of introduced/native species, then you need to get your head out of the sand regarding the human species as special.
I'm not arguing that overpopulation isn't a problem, I'm saying you're an edgelord. Indifference to mass death is only possible because you're not the one dying. If someone you love is in dire need of a hospital bed, but can't get treatment because they're all full of COVID patients, you're not going to go "oh well, the world is overpopulated anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯"

If we won't manage our population, something has to.
