    There is no group being specifically targeted which is a requirement to meet the definition of genocide.

    the group who can be reached by governments.

    stop trying to figure out how to do genocide the right way and just don’t do genocide at all.

      If you call this genocide, then by your definition I fully support genocide. I just don’t support it by the actual definition.

      Population control measures are the most ethical action we can take with the least amount of human suffering resulting from it. Unchecked population growth, destruction of the planet, and ever growing economic/resource inequality is what we already have going on right now. It’s the status quo. And it is far far less ethical to support such a system which is creating immense suffering right now. As such, I will not stop trying to figure out how to do something that is inherently positive and ethical.
