Jews have been a minority for thousands of years and they’ve still here.
If we aren’t stupid and don’t accept majority rule (democracy!!) we will be fine, just like the Jews.
1.48 in Turkey and 1.44 in Iran.
We're a little bit higher at 1.6.
And they've just had a grand time for the last 2000 years, from Rome to 20th century Germany, haven't they?
No thanks.
Easy way to fix the issue. Just have more live births. Unfortunately, people would rather have a ‘softer’ life, and hence the blame is squarely on the West and Developed Asia. 100%.
If Only we had a president who would...oh f—k it.
IMO China's reported population of 1.4 billion a few years ago was really only 1.2 billion, and will be down to about a billion in 5-8 years, then down to maybe 800 million by the early 2040's.
We are very lucky then, that demographics are not destiny.
I don’t need children, I have a dog.
Kids get in the way of my awesome public education, sex life, vacation, career, cost to much, make me look fat, and make me have to commit to someone (usually, even that’s not true anymore).
I would rather stretch out my earlobes, get another tattoo, and buy an EV with my same sex partner.
Did I sum it up?
Demographics is in fact destiny no matter how much the civnatcucks scream that it is not.
I still don’t see a problem with less people on earth.
America doesn’t need 400 million people. It doesn’t need 300 million people.
America had 200 million people in 1970. What is wrong with going back to that?
I clearly understand that economically we have all kinds of systems that are akin to ponzi schemes where economic growth depends on an ever-increasing population. Tough nuts. We are due for some belt tightening and reduced materialism.
I don’t mind seeing America return to a population of 200 million.
FTA:
“The U.S. fertility rate is at an all-time low, down 55% from its peak in 1957.”
.
Coincides nicely with introduction of “The Pill”...
“America had 200 million people in 1970. What is wrong with going back to that?”
.
Nothing, but Mohammedism is the Future.
‘Glad I’m old...
I wouldn't either. However, the bigger issue is that because of the demographics changes we've seen over the last few decades most of them won't be American.
Hitler purged the Polish intelligentsia to make room for his own supporters.
And millions of the Muslim cannibals in Somalia are coming to the USA. They know the blue rat cities are good hunting grounds for feasting on human flesh, especially the woke white women in those urban areas.
A nuclear world war is coming. It will finish everything, once and for all.
I have a different take on the demographic “crisis” and it comes from of all places a comedian
In his bit he talked about how in the past, esp in an agrarian economy children were an asset, labor to work the farm…, early manufacturing was labor intensive
In an urban environment children become more of an expense than an asset in a purely academic thought experiment.
As the world becomes more automated, and I will add AI, though not really sure how that will all play out, do we really need to have as many people?
Many years ago it took 14 people to paint one car and it took weeks. Paint, sand, polish…. The automobile industry used to employ millions to produce cars, now it is hundreds of thousands.
A few farmers with a GPS controlled piece of farm equipment can plant and harvest hundreds of acres, sonething that would have taken dozens just a few years ago and hundreds many years ago.
I often hear the argument that we need more children to support the elderly and a consumer economy and agree to a point.
There will come a time, relatively soon when time will take care of the inverted pyramid of demographics, the elderly bubble, of which I am one, will die off. As for consumer economy the amount of goods and services needed will change, they always have. Used to be a blacksmith in the community was a necessity and there was a thriving buggy whip industry (credit to rush Limbaugh), and thousands were employed to place calls, few exist today and yet we still exist.
If populations continue to grow, and automation continues to advance, what are all these people going to do for jobs.
As an aside, looking at all the “creative” and mostly useless degrees coming out of our universities we are trying awfully hard to create something for people to do
lol, just my 2 cents
Sadly I agree
Because the globalist cabal made all those white women take contraceptives, and all those white men get vasectomies? Before you blame faceless cabals, look in the mirror.
