    The one child policy really gonna be up there with killing all the sparrows long term…

    Except that killing the sparrows was a bad idea.

      Getting rid of pests was the problem, and it was a real one…

      Killing all the sparrows was a legitimate attempt to help that backfired.

      Overpopulation was and still is a problem.

      One child would have theoretically been managed, but ignored how people act individually and the desire to have a son. An honest and legitimate attempt to mitigate a real problem backfired.

      I feel it’s an apt comparison, even if I didn’t explain enough at first

        overpopulation is not a problem, that’s a fascist talking point

        We have an abundance of space and resources, they just have to be distributed equally.
