That's no surprise considering they lied about everything else and they have several reasons to lie about earth's population.

So much denialism in your post. Does it hurt your brain to think critically for a few seconds?

reply

To be fair I didnt even fully listen to the twitter post - i just saw your glowing endorsement of it and knew it would therefore be bullshit.

I read a few of the comments to get the gist , I came away with the idea that the twitter man is suggesting that the world population is actually only 1.5b , is that correct?

{edit}
hey i just saw your other post:
"I don't think it's that low, perhaps between (5-7 billion), but not their figures."

Thats actually accurate I would say . something we agree on!
(although its 7 not 5 )

Exactly! tvfan wouldn't know a fact if it jumped up and bit him on the ass...

And "Fact Checkers" are still not Facts.

Oh, and you missed his edit, give critical thinking a try for a couple of seconds, your brain will not explode ... maybe.

>Oh, and you missed his edit, give critical thinking a try for a couple of seconds, your brain will not explode ... maybe.

You mean this guy is a moron and doesn't realise that the data he's looking at regarding Indias urban population only includes the population of the largest cities proper and not the wider metro area. So his data says that Mumbai has a population of 12 million, but the actual wider metro area is closer to 20 million. Delhi has a population of 11 million, but the metro area is 28 million.

In addition, most of India's population is rural. His claims that it is "statistically impossible" is based on faulty analysis and how the fuck would he know India's wider population makeup?

Statista? lol, Do you ever cite any non-biased, non-propagandist or non-misleading sources?

And btw, you obviously missed my other response where I didn't fully agree with the amount suggested in the clip nor the amount given by "your establishment masters."

And yes, countries lie and the UN certainly lies.

What makes Statista propaganda?

So instead you just make shit up?

>And yes, countries lie and the UN certainly lies.

And what countries are lying about their population?

reply

You do realise the UN gets data from countries right? They don't just make it up.

reply

So the earth's real population is only estimated to be 1.5 billion? Really?

reply

I don't think it's that low, perhaps between (5-7 billion), but not their figures.

reply

Yeah, the Powers That Be keep acting like we get another billion people born every decade, and something about those figures doesn't seem right.

reply

I'm gonna start bringing this up with people... I'll report back in a few days.

reply

we do, or at least the amount of growth increases every decade , how could it not?
Its called exponential growth

The more population increases , the more people are making babies , therefore the RATE of increase increases.

reply

You're obviously not factoring in the death rates.

reply

Yes, people are dying less commonly too. A lot less people die at birth, a lot less mothers die giving birth and people live longer. This is part of the reason why the population increased so much after WW2.

reply

People are dying less in infancy, living longer and avoiding illness and accidents at better rates every year. It's not hard. The death rate was much higher 100 years ago.

reply

I've been saying this for awhile now...if governments have been able to lie like this before the internet existed....what the fuck are they able to lie about now? (Covid, weather manipulations, etc...)

reply

...everything!

reply

Well , its a shame the internet didnt turn out quite like the brave new world it was shaping up to be in the 90s
"mass communication in the hands of the people "

Sadly the people have taken this wonderful opportunity and turned it into a sea of shit . Misinformation , crime , scams , and "anything for clicks" (usually dangerous idiocy).

Thats human nature for you I guess.

reply

All of that existed before the internet.... Ever heard of Tabloids?

reply

Some replies on this thread are an example the Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills. Quite why one would prefer a presentation by some guy on X-Marks-the-Plot over a range of authorities which can be found quickly on the web is hard to understand otherwise. This is not to say that authorities are always necessarily right, just that they are much more likely not to be wrong.

What is more interesting is the theory that the world's population is set to plateau and fall for the first time in decades to come, primarily due to falling fertility rates. Early signs of this have been seen in the West. This likelihood of course is overdue conversion to another grand conspiracy,,,

Great thread!

People haven't talked about overpopulation for at least a decade.

reply

They have a list of reasons to lie about the overpopulation growth and at the very top is $$$.

reply

No-one is pretending that the world is exponentionally growing anymore

Love it!
