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.

I mean, it’s a sense among the commoners. School-aged kids, people about to exit the workforce. It’s all over Reddit, Facebook, Instagram. Little questions here and there. If you haven’t run into it, you’re extremely isolated by something. Or, lack the ability to pick up on the most basic of social cues. Hell, I’ve seen it on Mastodon.

Maybe instead you should get out of Reddit, Facebook and Instagram a little. To see the real “commoners”. Meet more people with blood pressure instead of tokens.
Travel around the world a little to realise how huge it is. You might realise there is no one group called “commoners”. People living around you might see the world your way (maybe they should also leave Facebook and Instagram?) but that doesn’t mean much.

It isn’t just me, mate. I’ve got contacts from several states expressing the same things. Hell, some of the people I used to know from Europe are posting the same crap. And, I am a “commoner.”
