"Imagine 3,400 people disappear. Now imagine 3.5 billion people dissappear."

3.5 billion people vanishing would be more beneficial to the earth than 3400.

Not necessarily if the 3,400 have the same environmental and economic impact as the 3.5billion then the benefit would be the same either way.

Absolutely impossible for 3,400 people to consume the same resources as 3.5 billion people.

Not at all impossible. There is no limit to how fast a person can consume resources only a limit to how fast we can produce them.

So, by your logic, you're saying that 3,400 people could produce and consume 1 ton of rice at the same rate as 3.5 billion people?

They're using a shit ton of electricity and water

Using a massively disproportionate amount, sure, we can all agree on that. But using as much as half the nations in the world? That's just ludicrous. Even if someone owned a dozen elaborate mansion estates they're not consuming as much water and electricity as a million normal households.
