As for population control, we are facing a population crisis, not overpopulation.
Especially in developed countries. There is a bit of "overpopulation" in Nigeria mixed with poor wealth distribution/extremely greedy politicians.
The reality is that most of the developed world has major demographic issues. What is being espoused is nonsense that started in the 1970s.
I think we are still seeing the consequences of birth control but nobody likes discussing these things because of the woke mob might come after them
