Most countries aren't even meeting replacement rates and the ones that are, like Africa, will be whittled down once we start using them more in sweatshops as China, Vietnam and India become relatively expensive to manufacture in.

Seems to me that if the "evil global elite" are doing anything it's putting TVs in rural parts of India and Latin America, lifting up women and creating economic prosperity given those are the things working to reduce population where there aren't specific controls in place.

GMO technology is fantastic. Monsanto creating Roundup resistant crops and the EPA raising allowed pesticide levels to account for that isn't. It's not a binary argument, it's far more nuanced than that. Btw from memory that happened almost ten years ago. And crying about global elite conspiracies is fucking retarded when you can get off your ass and try and fix the real problem which is money in politics. Monsanto might not be able to get away with that shit if they couldn't bribe elected officials. Conspiracies are a massive red herring to distract people from the boring-because-its-so-obvious-not-as-fun-to-mentally-masturbate-over-as-the-illuminati plain and simple corruption.
