What would 4,000,000,000 graves look like?

People are saying that an ideal population size for the human race would be 4 billion people (around that of 50 years ago). And then using that as a means to promote conspiracies of population thinning.

Where are all the bodies going?

Soylent green.

Also, people are saying a lot of stupid things, and I heard it from you first.

Probably should broaden your social interactions then? Get out of your ivory academic towers and start hanging out with the commoners? Just took a poll, over on Reddit, asking what the ideal population of Earth would be.

There are whispers all throughout society, concerning the rich trying to kill us off and take all our resources. Hell, Americans all believe the reason their healthcare sucks as bad as it does, is because American billionaires want all their land and homes. Trying take all their possessions, kill them all off, and then go back to feudalism, where each billionaire gets a stretch of land to look after, and millionaires have to answer to them. Hence, why they’re buying more and more land.

Bill Gates, alone, has 275,000 acres. And he keeps buying more.

The ideas are trending across multiple social networking sites.

“Get out of your ivory academic towers…”

What a fucking comment.

This is just one of the MANY polls showing up on Reddit: reddit.com/…/are_we_in_the_golden_age_of_america/

Which is indicative of late-stage capitalism. Add that with questions about what the ideal population size is, posts asking how the rich are going to kill us off, critiques about healthcare being their method of choice, why they’re buying up land, and a few other talking points and you get a pretty clear picture of what’s going on in peoples’ heads. Why rich people purposefully act stupid in public, etc.
