I think Liz from True Anon made a good point about this. Thanos’s underlying premise is never said to be wrong. Like when he kills half of a planet’s population, it actually works to mitigate starvation and deprivation on the planet. Malthusian over-population theory has been thoroughly debunked and dismissed. The underlying message is like “it would work but its morally wrong.” No it wouldn’t fucking work, deprivation in an advanced society isn’t caused by over population, it’s caused by class rule.

They don’t talk about the part where when it worked, it was because the instability was so severe that a communist revolution occurred
Thanos but the snap deletes the most reactionary half of the population
Thanos but the snap turns reactionary tendencies antimemetic causing them to be extremely difficult to spread
Thanos but the snap eliminates capitalism would be a badass story actually
