Sort of. Malthusians believe that disasters which take out large numbers of people help to keep the population in check and are therefore necessary. Obviously a little oversimplified, but that’s about what it boils down to.

Sounds somewhat reasonable and nuts at the same time.

Like some sad people that lost people in a Desaster saying it was for the greater good when in reality its ultimately meaningless.

It’s not an illogical stance; it’s just one that requires you to become less empathetic.
