There's a ton of space on this planet where humans do not occupy. Also humans are "intelligent" they can produce their own food and resources.
Also, edgelords who say there are "too many people" aren't offering to kill themselves to help solve the problem.
Well their focus is usually on people’s decisions to reproduce in nature. There’s the pretty thinly-veiled eugenics side and the more nebulous “people shouldn’t have kids they can’t afford” side. Unsure of other strains but those are the two prominent.
They don’t think anyone in particular should die or existing people particularly children should “starve,” (so I hope at least lol) but a forward approach to better planning and resource allocation (your own).
and/or the poor, I get it. Yes these two tend to converge when people like her bring up such topics. It's pretty irresponsible and she shouldn't be making hot quip statements like this as a legislator.Either way it definitely comes off like they have Black folk in mind when they say this.

"Media" today is designed to decontextualize and sensationalize otherwise worthwhile discussions, this is not new.
Public officials need to stop opining/off the cuffing statements like this, full stop. They just sound like heartless sociopaths.
Better watch out if this Manhattan politician snaps her fingers.
Assemblywoman Deborah Glick has figured out what’s wrong with Mother Earth — there are just too many people living here!
The longtime West Side politician made the stunning comments in a Friday morning tweet that read: “World population in 1950- 2.5 billion 2015- 7.3 billion The lack of family planning Because of Religious Zealotry- has stressed the planet. Something no one wants to talk about.”
The tweet echoes the stated rationale offered by Thanos — the fictional villain from the Marvel comics and blockbuster “Avengers” movies, “Infinity War” and “Endgame” — as he attempts to justify his plot to wipe out half the population of the universe with a snap of his fingers.
While Glick’s pro-family planning message is not calling for half the world population to be turned to dust, it’s at least the third time in recent years that she has made similar remarks, records show.
“It takes a special kind of demented to watch ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and think it ends on a high note,” cracked one Democratic insider.
In 2019, she defended her decision to hold up legislation that would legalize paid surrogacy in New York state — one of the main avenues for LGBT couples to become parents.
The move infuriated many constituents in her district, which includes the historically gay and bohemian West Village.
The measure eventually became law the following year after it was included in the state’s must-pass budget legislation to circumvent her opposition.
“Personally, as an environmentalist I understand we have too many people in the world and as someone who has chaired the Social Services Committee in the past, I know that we have hundreds of thousands of youngsters looking for families,” she told reporters in June 2019, referring to adoption as she defended her opposition to the legislation.
The month before, in May 2019, she said during a state Assembly hearing on climate change that “[w]e just have too many people on the planet,” before adding that limiting population growth needed to be considered as one way to curb pollution, the Associated Press reported.
That's code for the world now has too many non white people. Cacs not slick
