@7 @icedquinn @furgar I think it's that they've swallowed the "overpopulation pill", where they think that in order to save the world, population must be reduced. All problems can be seen through this lens, with:

"that problem isn't as important as saving the world, and to save the world we need to reduce the number of humans."

Therefore the solution to war: more of it!
The solution to disease: more of it!
WWIII could lower population!
COVID could lower population!
Nuclear winter could lower population!
Starvation could lower population!
Making society miserable and offering MAID could lower population!
(this also means Hitler and Mao did nothing wrong, other than stop)

One might argue they should kill themselves first to lower population, but it doesn't work that way, because then the remaining people would not be in favor of population reduction. Their long-term solution has to involve killing those against population reduction (not themselves) first.

It's anti-human and evil. It's false and unscientific. But I think it's the brainwashing that has been done to a lot of the top 0.01% wealth people.
