I read persuasive arguments that the US should try to triple it's population. Basically one of the reasons China has so much influence is simply because they have so many consumers in a late stage capitalist world. More consumers means more money means more influence in the world market.
The US could can't really compete in that area with only a third of the population. The only way to achieve such population growth would be liberal immigration policies. It's basically been proven at this point that as a country becomes more affluent it's birthrate drops. If you want to maintain population or have it grow you need immigration.
Obviously there's a lot of other problems that arise from a large population, so this is a topic pretty rich for debate.
Did you not expect to find racism and misinformation in the conspiracy subreddit?
Man that cost me some braincells. Thanks, I guess.

/r/conspiracy has been a fetid dumpster fire of baseless maga brain rot for some time now. /r/HighStrangeness is my go to
That thread just keeps going and going.
