The film “Planet of Humans” depicts a settler culture decrying the destruction of a land it stole. It blames "carrying capacity," which is codeword for brown people need to stop having children, and overconsumption. My review: you first, pilgrim.
In all seriousness, Indigenous land defenders have been pointing out these problems for years. But they don't come to the same genocidal and cynical conclusions of mass die-offs. Elimination is settler colonialism’s go-to. If you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
How quickly a culture that consumes 30 times more than any other on the planet turns so easily to “carrying capacity," a universal “humanity," and "overpopulation" as *the* problem.
