.If they would rather die, perhaps they had better do so and decrease the surplus population.

With that quote, Ebenezer Scrooge makes perfectly clear the true political message of A Christmas Carol.

Dickens was writing amidst a wave of hysteria about population growth triggered by Thomas Malfus, who argued that reproduction would exceed growth in food.

Scrooge was both anti procreation and anti-marriage.

Of course, Scrooge and Malfus who inspired him turned out to be wrong.

His nephew, Fred, and the ghost of Christmas present turned out to be right.

But the lessons from A Christmas Carol ought to give us strength today as well, as we press back against a message of outright hostility to family so prevalent among the woke left.

There is no such thing as surplus population.

God bless us everyone.
