    Also to be clear, i never stated that over population was the only reason, merely that i think it’s an influential factor.

    You have, so far, made absolutely no case that “overpopulation” was a factor in any way whatsoever. Period.

    It seems to me that you think a community becomes “overpopulated” as soon as anything bad happens to them - which is pretty much the shittiest take I’ve ever seen when it comes to this myth.

    but it’s basically the equivalent of me walking into a random suburban home with a gun

    You don’t know a lot about the subject matter involved in this conversation, do you?

      so far your entire argument is that not having enough food to feed people is a food issue, which is very true. But there is also another variable here. The people, the amount of people consuming the food being produced can lead to a food shortage. Lets say you as a small country grow a lot of food, but export the majority of it, because money. And let’s say you have a food shortage, hey wait a minute this sounds familiar. Yes you can just look at it as if it’s just a food/distribution issue, and that’s definitely one way of looking at it, but i think it’s also reasonable to consider where the food is going, and why.

      it seems to me you are aggressively simplifying my argument, i’m just using the term overpopulation to describe the situation in which there are too many people involved in something, for it to be an equitable trade. I feel like given the context that it’s pretty reasonable.

      You don’t know a lot about the subject matter involved in this conversation, do you?

      no, not really, i’ve also never claimed to know anything. I’ve also never claimed this to be the reason why it’s happening. Perhaps you have some sort of knowledge in the subject matter, i don’t know!
