>>513574734It's much more than just pushing the overpopulation and GW narrative. If only half the people, it would in a way double everyone's value. Especially workers who are bidded down because it's seen as nearly unlimited people are ready to fill in behind them or take their jobs. On the big money side, many of their valuations are based on the idea all these people will eventually buy iphones or otherwise join our financial and corporate system. This means if real population numbers came to light there would be a massive crash in the market, probably needing too big to fail bailouts, and so this is an incentive many have to not let it out and to deceive the other way. In addition all nations are encouraged to overreport their population for gibs from all these various global structures like the world bank or the un. Perhaps the most historically explosive aspect, because this goes long back, is that it is claimed all these peoples suffered somewhere around a 90% population loss on contact with Europeans. So they start with this 'estimated low' claiming Europeans are so diseased the natives probably all died just coming into contact with us. This makes it look like a parabolic curve of population growth. Ignoring this and taking the estimated pop before to now shows a far more gradual rise in population over time.
