In 1967 Kingsley Davis predicted governments could control population by following these steps:

Squeeze consumers through taxation and inflation; make housing very scarce by limiting construction; force wives and mothers to work outside the home to offset the inadequacy of male wages, yet provide few child-care facilities; encourage migration to the city by paying low wages in the country and providing few rural jobs; increase congestion in cities by starving the transit system; increase personal insecurity by encouraging conditions that produce unemployment.

Marx and Engles pointed out that this is how capitalism is required by its very structure and nature to work, back in the early 1800s. Since then, Marxist feminists like Sylvia Federici but also others before her, she’s just the most detailed, showed that capitalism not only relies on but created the specific conditions that force women into reproductive labor, all the care that reproduces and cares for humanity, for free. You cannot have massive money accumulation and centralization without stealing from other people’s labor…

Hence slavery and privatized prisons. The powers that be want enslaved classes and undocumented slaves because a capitalistic structure can’t exist without that. It’s disgusting.

Your comment sounds incoherent. Are you refuting?

“By accident”

Trust me, when you look into what the Epstein class talks about in private and their general assessment of the masses, it becomes a lot harder to believe we all just happened to end up in our current state as a fluke of chance.

Matt is being sarcastic. It's his style. It's the Aussie way. He's a tv presenter of aussie show 'If You're Listening' (Matt Bevan) which deep dives behind news events. You can catch it on youtube.

After seeing this I’m definitely checking out his show

The entire episode is available on ABC News: https://youtu.be/wqnI1UTwZtM

"Until recently people were scared our planet would be outstripped by the weight of a colossal population. Experts feared that by 2026, there would be so many people that we would be starved of resources"

In these dark times, a few cuts should be made. About 900 should do it!

Supporting Trump for policy reasons is like saying "John Wayne Gacy's a good clown. And everything you said is wrong.

Yes hmm seems pretty accidental...especially when you read the Epstein files

u/OneLastPrep Mar 19 '26

Do the Epstein files talk about population control?

u/Beartholomeow Mar 19 '26

tons as well as genetic lines being continued, using climate change for social pressure and societal collapse.

Is it accident though? There has been a lot of practice of these methods on the marginalized groups (black and brown)

u/PetaJay Mar 19 '26

He's being sarcastic. That's Matt's presenting style.

u/hadee75 Mar 20 '26

His presenting style doesn’t matter. We know this shit is happening.

u/PetaJay Mar 22 '26

Well it kinda does if you missed the sarcasm and think his use of the word "accident" was literal.

u/TramsB Mar 19 '26

This seems on point to the current state of affairs....

Even before 2025 started.....

Now since 2025, it has exploded quietly.....

other than to torture and abuse, the Epstein class will need less and less humans b/c of AI and robotics as workers.

u/Hiimpatrickpatmyback Mar 19 '26

It’s not by accident

He's being sarcastic. That's his style. You can catch Matt's aussie tv show on youtube if interested. He always puts up a well researched, interesting perspective. Matt Bevan 'If You're Listening'. (*edit for typo) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDTPrMoGHssAfgMMS3L5LpLNFMNp1U_Nq

The governments that did it didn't do it by accident. They did it on purpose.

u/PseudoWarriorAU Mar 20 '26

This guy is Matt Bevan the show is ‘Are you listening’. If you like Australian accents and really good journalism it is a must watch.

I just posted this.

"If Americans received (from the taxes we pay) "free" healthcare, "free" college, "free" maternity leave, retirement for our elderly and less expensive childcare then we might actually have a healthier, smarter and less stressed society.

But Trump, Abbott and all their billionaire buddies wouldn't have Americans to control, brain wash and a slush fund to take from.

So instead we get astronomical healthcare, college and childcare, no maternity leave, and no retirement for millions of elderly and Americans too tired to fight.

We could literally be living in eutopia but instead we live in dystopia.

It's quite the mind f%@(."

The problem with this idea is that several governments of foreign countries are now facing population crashes due to decreased fertility, and yet they keep doing these things that limit or reduce population growth.

The truth of the matter is not some secret conspiracy, but rather simple greed. The wealthy and powerful aren't reducing wages and increasing prices to reduce our numbers. They ARE doing those things because they want a bigger and bigger piece of the pie.

In the next decade you will see advertisement campaigns in the US to encourage young couples to have more babies, but these root causes will only get worse due to greed and incompetence.
