Encouraging Overpopulation - A Major Cause of the Failure of American Institutions

75

By dabeaner

Yes, "our" (your) institutions have failed. But not in the ways that you see argued in the establishment media.

Your institutions have not failed because they have failed to provide the education, jobs, medical care, child care, and all the other goodies promoted by the liberal agenda.

Your institutions have not failed because they have failed to instill the proper work ethic, to teach and insist on the speaking and writing of standard English, to encourage saying "No" to anything that appears fun, to genuflect to the bible and flag, and all the other indoctrinations promoted by the conservative agenda.

Rather, your institutions have failed because they reward behavior that is counterproductive to a maintaining a free, educated, prosperous, and civil society.

If you reward irresponsibility, you get irresponsibility. Your institutions reward irresponsibility in the name of "humaneness" and "compassion" (the liberal agenda) and "morality" (the conservative agenda).

The major problem confronting the human race today is overpopulation. Ecological and resource problems are simply a side effect. Repeat after me: Ecological and resource problems are simply a side effect. Get it? Good. Overpopulation in the "third world" is the problem. Overpopulation in eastern and western Europe is the problem. Overpopulation in the United States is the problem. Overpopulation in your state is the problem. But neither the liberals nor the conservatives get it. They can't afford to get it. If they got it, they would have to radically alter their views, positions, and institutions. They won't do that. They are both intellectually bankrupt.

Furthermore, the type of overpopulation encouraged makes the situation even worse. While indiscriminate and unlimited breeding is encouraged at all levels of society, your institutions encourage the uneducated and ineducable, unskilled underclass to breed faster than the somewhat better educated and skilled middle class.

Dysfunctional Thinking -- Dysfunctional Institutions

Your institutions are perfectly designed to turn cities such as Los Angeles into more Mexico Cities, and the entire United States itself into another Bangladesh. They are succeeding admirably.

Members of the underclass -- which includes more and more whites, not just "persons of color" -- breed totally irresponsibly. They give no more thought to pumping out half a dozen children than a cat or dog gives to dropping a litter.

Your institutions tell them: "Go forth and be fruitful." "God" Bless. No problem. "Society" will provide . . ."

You tell them this through your support of your institutions of church and government.

The educated, productive (private sector, not government sector) responsible couple who might have otherwise been able to afford to properly raise one or two children, has none or only one because of the tax and regulatory burdens they face. Money they could have spent on their own one or two children is extorted from them in the form of taxes to pay for the minimal support of half a dozen spawn pumped out by an irresponsible single mother or couple.

The underclass is thus increased at the expense of the middle class. When the middle class (the taxpaying class) is overwhelmed, tapped out, and eventually wiped out (sooner rather than later at the rate you're going), where are you going to get the revenue to support the increasing hordes of illiterate, unskilled savages in the style which they think they deserve?

Underclass Problems -- You Asked for It

The real reason for riots, "gang-bangers" and "drive-by" shootings, etc., is simply that there is an underclass which is accorded human status solely on the basis that they have human DNA. And they have been encouraged to breed more of the same, to a level which is a danger to society.

"Those people" -- black, brown, and more and more whites -- have developed a subculture which is the antithesis of a productive and civil culture. The dysfunctional values of this subculture have been passed from generation to generation with the encouragement of your institutions, and the subculture is now firmly established. Frankly, a sub­culture such as this can be eliminated only by preventing it from being further promulgated. Vigorous discouragement of further breeding is required.

Can you say that rioters, arsonists, looters, and killers are any more human than a crazed ape? They are the product of unrestrained devolutionary breeding. Ignorant and uncivilized, born to ignorant and uncivilized parents. They can't or don't or won't think. They have no sense of consequences. Humans supposedly do have such qualities.

The underclass situation can be turned around in one generation. If you have the will. The problems of this generation can be contained, but not solved. Face it; this generation of the underclass is lost. Face it; you made the problem as horrendous as it is with your "bleeding heart" policies (liberals) and your moral fascism (conservatives).

Providing public education, welfare, tax deductions, or benefits or subsidies of any kind to breeders of any class encourages irresponsible breeding. It is not just "counterproductive"; it is stupid! Stop rewarding indiscriminate spawning without thought of consequences. Stop it!

There should be no restrictions on access by anyone of any age to birth-control information and devices of any type. There should be no restrictions on abortion at any time or stage of pregnancy -- no governmental, spousal, or parental consent should be required. The religious objections are anti-life. Religionists say they are pro-life. But life is choice. Religionists are not pro-choice, so they are in actuality anti-life. The bottom line is really that the church hierarchies need fresh generations of obedient and ignorant peasants to support them. (And the same can be said of those running the political institutions, as well.)

The public education system should be abolished. A voucher system could be used to facilitate the transition to a completely private system. If the corporations want employees trained in certain skills other than the basics, let them fund trade schools to their liking.

You can't do these things, you say? It's "politically" impossible? It's "inhumane"? It's "socially irresponsible"? Fine, make all the excuses you want. I have no illusions that many of you are going to accept and favor implementation of my proposed solutions.

So, prepare yourself for more Watts and "Rodney King" type riots. On bigger and bigger scales. And spreading into your neighborhood. They will happen.

Overpopulation Leads to Resource Depletion and Poverty

You said exactly what everyone should be thinking. Bravo!

As a woman people react to my similar views as harsh and uncaring. Because I'm a woman I should be nurturing enough to care for an entire population that doesn't care for themselves or their own children?

What's socialy irresponsible is creating an entire race of uneducated, unmotivated and unproductive humans. We've been doing that on reservations for decades and look where it's gotten the Native Americans.

We have undeniable proof that throwing money at a problem just creates bigger problems. So why is our answer just to throw more freaking money? 

Thanks for the hub.

What ever happened to the "over population" awareness of the sixty's and seventy's ?!

For some reason we lost it to our newly adopted mantra of "political correctness", an oxymoron if ever there was one.

It should be an easy equation to understand that we would have far fewer resource and pollution problems in the world with fewer people, and a higher standard of living overall.

Regretably though, and I am a capitalist at heart, the cost of labor would also be higher, and that may be the true reason why the arguement is ignored today.

Dabeaner, EXCELLENT, thorough and logical hub. LornaDane, I am in the exact same position. I have recently been aggressively attacked for posting my new hub called "Child-Free By Choice." I love the planet and I hate the human race. I like individual people when I get to know them, but I despise the human race in its entirety. It's disgusting, dirty, and violent. It produces more stink and waste and poisonous filth than any other species even possibly COULD even if it WANTED to. I love those crowd photographs. They show the truth of the repulsiveness of big, dirty crowds fouling up pristine beaches.

Well, looks like a few people with some sense, anyway. Thank you LornaDane, JMSailor, catwoman89 for your "on point" comments about overpopulation and the resource and AESTHETIC problems it causes.

I would also like to point out, how America gives illegals a reason to breed in America. If they have a anchor baby, they have a better chance to stay. I always love the excuse too, "oh but we can not seperate the parents from their children! GASP that would be jsut inhumane!" Uhh we sure do this when it comes to bank robers, theifs, and murderes, so why not illegals who break the laws. Better yet, we should do like Canada and many other countries have done, which is give citizenship only when a child born in America is born to at least one American Citizen.

Yeah, I believe in the families -- parents and their litters of anchor babies - staying together. In MEXICO, or wherever.

Have you ever heard the "Yeast People" analogy?

dabeaner Hub Author 2 years ago

"Yeast People"? I never heard of it before. Just now looked it up. One Google search result quote is: "The moronic constituents of the overpopulation bloom in the USA could be referred to as Yeast People." James Howard Kunstler. That looks pertinent.

As a dad to 8 kids and counting, forgive me for saying, "Dude, take a vacation."

=)

Seriously, I can't believe this hogwash still passes as some form of "truth" in anyone's mind.

Overpopulation is the problem? If so, you've failed to make the case. Good hub, though - very provocative. As such, I voted it UP, and marked it a funny.

Overpopulation has been a "problem" as long as I've been alive, and that was a few billion people ago. I don't believe in the zero population re-hash from the 60's and earlier, and no, Soylent Green (sp?) isn't people, just a creepy movie.

I hope you have a great day. I'll be reading your other hubs - I do like your sardonic wit, and writing style. But you and I don't share opinions (makes for better reading!).

Anyway, no molotov cocktails from my end. I'm just a happy father of 8 and counting, happily carrying along and apparently eating your lunch? Sorta?

lol

5institutes -- You don't have to debate -- further? I am keeping your comment. Gives me some content and an opportunity to add my two cents' worth -- again. ;-)

Also, a nice long comment such as you posted gives YOU a slight (unknown to me, amount) Author Score boost. FWIW.

BYW -- vacation next month -- though I may still drop in here. :-)

Anyway, off to your comment:

As a father of eight, yes, you have to rationalize that there is no overpopulation problem. After all, your kids are non-returnable, I guess.

As with all debates, if someone doesn't care to observe reality, then there is no convincing.

The reality is: I have observed the deterioration of institutions and environment due to a more than DOUBLING of population during just my ADULT life. (Yes, I am a cranky old geezer.)

I am not going to run through a whole list, just point out one current problem -- the Gulf oil "spill" (gusher) -- and one old problem -- Islamic Wogistan.

New problem: There would be no reason to have to drill miles deep below the ocean for oil if the easily obtained stuff had not been mostly already gotten.

Consequence: Now, stay tuned to your local news station for news of drifting (in the atmosphere) toxic oil volatiles causing crop failures, water pollution, and cancers from the Gulf up to Canada through the central U.S. (midwest), and then towards the eastern U.S. Not to mention the plankton kill, which other aquatic species depend on. That can take years to recover. How many years can you go without food? How long can a family of ten or whatever, pay 50% more, whatever, for food?

Old problem: The empowering of the Muslim wogs in Chaosistan. The insatiable demand for oil by a huge population has provided billions/trillions to the wogs, and awakened them.

Consequence: If it were not for those huge amounts of money, they would have just continued living their 9th century... 12 century technology... lifestyle, effing their goats, without them taking notice of the west, and vice versa. The wouldn't have the money to get the technology to eff with us trying to convert us by "sword" to an even stupider religion than the original two Abrahamic religions.

No mas. Enjoy your lunch of maybe not Soylent Green yet, but Frankenfood.

Still like your writing style, though we disagree. Thanks for the Hub, it IS provocative!

I'm now officially an ironic fan. Cranky or not, I love geezers (my dad was one).

I don't, btw, rationalize overpopulation, I just take a very different eschatological view than the overpopulation pundits have espoused.

Have a great day - I do wish we could palaver in person. Contrarians make for great conversation.
