It is amazing how many of the left wing causes seem to be those the solution to which gives them power.

It's a control freaks dream come true. If the elites are so worried about overpopulation they could set an example by committing mass suicide. I've long noticed that once a country becomes technologically advanced the population stabilizes, which means if the elites are worried about overpopulation the solution is to promote modern industry throughout the world. The fact that they don't, but prefer these darker methods can be taken as evidence that overpopulation is not the real issue. A side point is that a lot of these things point to what you might call a person's "spiritual maturity." Whether or not you had an instinctive gut feeling sending you chills when seeing the actions in 2020 would seem to depend on it. Some had the feeling that evil was afoot in the land, while others did not, and I don't think it is a matter of intelligence, but something deeper. The elites can't really fight that with any amount of propaganda, and they may or may not realize it. (I had a similar gut feeling with the attacks on the second amendment that started in the 1990s, while others, many of high intelligence, were unbothered.)
