Really nice post. Let me ask you this: with potential pop overshoot, resource constraints and env degradation, dont the uniparty actions begin to make sense?
I mean why not go hog while attemping to enslave humanity to enable personal material surplus?
Resources are constrained through the limits of technology.
The concept of "non-renewable" vs "renewable" is a farce.
EVERYTHING, is renewable. We have as much aluminum, for example, today than we did 2,000 years ago and will continue to have until we have sufficiently advanced technology to alter elements economically- such as fusion of a hydrogen proton to say, cobalt, to create nickle.
In addition, much to the chagrin of Paul Ehrlich, the "population bomb" never went off, even after 5 fucking decades. Eight billion humans can comfortably live in Texas. So that's also not an issue*.
What am I getting at with this? During the Last Glacial Maximum CO2 levels were 170ppm. C3 plants (80% of vegetation) carbon starvation occurs at 150ppm. We're unlocking Life.
I've always been largely dismissive of classical Malthusian concerns based on the simple fact that population growth rates have almost universally flattened out considerably as education and standard of living increased. If we didn't artificially subsidize population growth in undeveloped (or incapable-of-development, at least for now) areas, those areas would cease their population growth as well. If there's a Malthusian crisis brewing, it is of the globalists own creation, rending any notion of a moral high ground in "saving" humanity (by mongrelizing all races into a subservient class under a "benevolent" aristocratic leadership caste) moot. Technology has triumphed for thousands of years in exerting human control over an unpredictable environment, and I have no doubt that we can and will continue to overcome any challenges (including demographic) in the future.
The Georgia Guidestone perspective is a fearful, neurotic, and ultimately, genocidal outlook.

And, even more so, the Homo Sapiens saved Earth:

*Welllll, I spoke to quickly on this. And do need to address. There's one problem of a massive population.
Heat.
A trillion humans generate a LOT of heat. As long as that can be adequately addressed, we're good.
