"You participate in society, how curious"

If they're choosing not to have kids then they are doing their part towards their beliefs.

Nope, using the "I am very intelligent" comic doesn't work to defend those who want to eliminate society

Oh see that’s where you’ve hallucinated (apparently not just computer hallucinate after all ;))

Who said anything about elimination?

All that has to happen is for people to stop reproducing

We’re already pretty well along that track (except Afghanistan and the DRC)

There is a more direct action possible here.

The thing is, in advocating for removing 999 out of 1000 people (how? I don't hear a suggestion for a gradual decline, so assuming a bloody genocide seems like a reasonable interpretation), opens a body up to pretty harsh criticism. It's reasonable to read that line of reasoning as a direct threat!
