Feeding the World
OK — food prices are rising fast, not least here in the U.S. Various countries around the world are stockpiling and rationing staples. Lots of people go hungry. So the establishment paper of record, the Washington Post, publishes a Sunday morning front page feature. Nowhere in it, however, does the word "population" appear. I'm not sure whether this reflects garden-variety stupidity or complete brain-washing against arguments about limits to growth, but either way it's perfectly representative of the impoverished intellectual life in our imperial capital.

"Population" has disappeared as an issue because it is the Oppressed Peoples of the world who are having babies, not the awful whites. Therefore, anyone who brings up population growth as an issue falls afoul of the dominant ideology of the West (call it Cultural Marxism, Multiculturalism, Universalism
or Endstage Liberalism) and is an advocate of "genocide" or something frighteningly close.
Only a few eccentrics still believe in "the nationalization of the means of production" so the leftist worldview has transmuted into a kind of anti-white racialism. Meanwhile, on the economic front, globalism (corporate rule) goes unchallenged and "even" Obama privately reveals his pro-globalist views on trade to his supporters on Billionaires Row in San Francisco.
