Do you think that statement implies that human life is valueless or that people currently living should die? I don't. Simply having fewer children or (ideally) using less resources per capita accomplishes that goal just fine.

"Disdain for human life" doesn't equate to "people should die" (although I do think "there should be less people" is what some might call a dog whistle for many). Saying "there should be less people" unequivocally expresses disdain for human life, not necessarily hatred but often enough it does.
