I feel like the world has no future.

The issue is it absolutely won't be slow and peaceful in many, if not most places. South Korea is looking to be the worst so far with this and the country is genuinely screwed if things don't change in a big way before much longer, for example AI and robotics getting good enough. Overpopulation being the issue is outdated thinking when fertility rates are falling off a cliff in an increasing number of places and is already below replacement level in about half of all countries. This video shows just how bad a fertility rate crisis can be long term.

The decline is going to be slow and peaceful for the most part only right wingers would say otherwise. Also, most people alive today will not live long enough to see a decline in the world population since it's not going to happen in the next 30 years. I more than likely will not live long enough to see a decline in the world population since I am already 53 and the person that wrote this tread will more than likely not live long enough to see a decline in the world population either since he is 41.

Kurzgesagt are not right wingers and pretending that only people from one part of the political spectrum care about this issue to discredit it is really silly. You realize that the main reason the global population is still growing currently is cause of Africa right? Most countries are not in Africa. Also yes you won't live to see the full negative effects of this but it's not just about people currently alive but how future generations will get harmed by this. Developed countries are using immigration to counter it but that only delays the inevitable and an increasing amount of poorer countries are going below replacement level and immigration won't help them. There has been plenty of talk about how China's demographics are gonna be a huge issue for the country in the coming decades.
