I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You’re a plague and we are the cure.
Mask off moment.
And as with fascist arguments often the case, it has absolutely no grounding in science. This “equilibrium” you’re about is the consequence of prey and hunters (see Volterra and What’s-their-name). Some species don’t procreate under certain circumstances, but certainly “not all mammals”.
We humans ascended any natural predators. Our population can exceed the number we currently have, but only if the way we’re living is not driven by the desire of endless growth. It’s a distributive and economic issue, enforced and backed by power-over and (state) violence. If you were looking through human history, you’d see that this is not something inherent to humans. Another world built on cooperation instead of inefficient competition is possible.
But those questions have harder solutions than just “lol I guess we have to murder people then - what no not us kill those somewhere else who look different”. Spoiler: even with less people, you’re going to have these issues at some point if you’re producing stuff like we are on a global scale.

This is ecofascism, booooo
It’s Agent Smith from The Matrix.
