We know that the ruling class would like nothing more than for half of us to drop dead, so in looking 70 years into the past at life expectancy and demographics, have they been able to achieve their Malthusian fantasies over the decades to advance their goal of a culled population? Actually, yeah they have, and the numbers are terrifying.
Sure, people are living much longer, but the number of people being born these days is down massively from where it was just half a century ago. This is due to the Infertility Industrial Complex and the amount of money that is sloshing through there from NGOs pushing depopulation and involuntary sterilization, to the egg-freezing market being offered by all the Silicon Valley Big Tech companies as a corporate perk.
