i will say one thing we probably have some unintentional overlap on: all of this is downstream of marvel being cowards and making up a bullshit overpopulation story instead of preserving thanos' motivation from the comics
The Trevor Noah comments about the Avengers and Thanos people are talking about are just one of many examples why "conservatives don't have media literacy" is a fun bedtime story progressives tell themselves to look past so many of them being just as stupid

No matter what version of Thanos you are talking about this would be impressively stupid.
MCU one: snap half to tackle overpopulation.
Comic book: snap half to impress hot woman of Death.
Noah: Yes the heroes trying to reverse that are indeed the evil ones.

I am hoping for an imminent extinction-level event to eradicate the phrase “extinction-level event” from its current state of overpopulation in our discourse.

And notably, these books fed off each other. For instance, *The Late Great Planet Earth* directly references Paul Ehrlich and overpopulation, the depletion of the ozone layer, the "killer bee" panic, the so-called Jupiter Effect, acid rain, and gene-spliced biological weapons.
There are so many apocalypses out there that modern people do not even remember because they're so absurd. Halley's comet isn't the only one. The 1919 planetary alignment panic of a decade later was nearly as widely publicized. The 1974 Jupiter alignment panic echoed 1919.

Second, Thanos didn't really have a vision. He was just pissed that everyone rightfully called him insane for thinking genocide was a good solution to overpopulation and decided to take his rage out on all our favorite characters.

The thing is that if some big-name Republican candidate called for the summary execution of the nation's puppies, the NYT would describe it as a "bold, controversial proposal to address canine overpopulation" and the X Nazis would conjure up some demented rationale for why it's morally necessary.
on a recent nyt podcast i called florida an electoral "sink for america's chuddiest seniors" and you'd have thought i called for the summary execution of the nation's puppies the way some of these people are furious

Scientists once predicted population 'doomsday' would end world today
Despite a 1960 doomsday prediction, the world won't end today
In 1960, three scientists predicted that the world would end on November 13, 2026, due to overpopulation. Here's why they were wrong.

The impact of massive overpopulation of imported pheasant to the countryside is just as bad as they tear through the local invertebrates which are the bottom of the food chain leaving nothing for the diverse local birds, frogs, newts and so on.

Ecosystem collapse has happened overnight. E.g. Only 1.5% of mammals are wildlife. There are no reserves left that we can use to survive given overpopulation.
There are no "large, widely distributed #wildlife populations". Even large populations like cows have inbreeding depression.
The data below is from 2018-2020. The human population was 7.6 bn then. Today, it's 8.35 bn. Europe killed 70% of ALL insects since 2020. DNA & biomass collapse = #Extinction
