    “Things are too big! They should be smaller!” is this weird rhetorical phrasing that mostly just ends in Eugenics apologia.

    “Fewer this! Smaller that!” is just a dog whistle for shrinking the number of people.

      Except generally speaking… those far right small government types are actually very concerned with increasing the number of people of their own race… hence why abortion, birth control etc… are what they fight against.

      They just dont’ care about feeding or keeping those people comfortable, they want them toiling away for scraps.
