“So that will resolve the issue of demographics in France.”
Demographics yes. But economic prosperity no. Otherwise Algeria should be paradise.
Some cultures produce poverty.
Simply importing poverty doesn’t help the economy.
Immigration is really about busting up the political power of populations of Western democratic populations. It makes them more prone to subjugation by the ruling class.
That’s all.
It took decades to dig this hole.
When Murphy Brown aired in 1988, this anti-child and anti-marriage culture was already in full swing. Madonna, Cindy Lauper.... Materialism, consumerism, having fun, me, me, me...
This show simply echoed the prevailing cultural values: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy_Brown
—Abortion
—Sterilization
—Contraception
—The Dual income childless couple
—Careerism by women and waiting to have children
In typical fashion, the writer of this article is looking for a quick fix. A magic pill. A single simple solution which will fix everything when we wake up tomorrow.
The simplest, cheapest, and fastest solution is the one championed.
There is a quick, easy and wrong way, and there is a longer term approach, that is more difficult, but the right way.
Politicians, business, and bureaucrats tend to opt for the wrong way in such cases. They are driven by short time horizons, the need to show immediate results, the path of least resistance, and to keep things as cheap as possible.
If we want to fix this, and frankly all Western nations are in the exact same boat (North America and Europe, even South Korea, Japan, and Australia), we need to ask ourselves some very hard questions that fly in the face of feminism, LGBTQIA, our concept of equity, even some environmental ideas...
The real culprit is a perverted value system (socially dysfunctional, unnatural, immoral, historically culturally unacceptable), a way of thinking which has been inculcated in government policies, education, and the arts and media. We as a society have been proselytizing values which are destructive for years because somehow some often inconsistent, non-doctrinal, and irrational arguments were created which sound good and were adopted by the masses/society.
If society were to preach that folks should play Russia roulette (1 in 6 chance), that would make more sense than what we’re doing regards LGBTQIA+ and HIV/AIDS (1 in 5 chance): https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE68M3H2/ https://www.salon.com/2010/09/23/us_med_aids_urban_gays/ But somewhere, somehow it became taboo to even ask the question if advertising for a behavior that is self destructive is smart. Society has adopted a laundry list of these dysfunctional ideas and the results are now becoming apparent. Is it really smart to wait to have children if genetic illnesses rise with age? Is it really smart for a society that isn’t even replenishing its own population to pay for abortions, sterilizations, and contraception?
Is it smart to have a tax code and benefits/entitlements in a society that is below a birthrate of 2.1 and falling, to incentivize having a child with $500 a year, but pay $1,650 a month for HIV preventing medication per individual? https://www.hiv.gov/federal-response/ending-the-hiv-epidemic/prep-program
It took YEARS to get here. It will take years to fix this, and the resistance will be high, since you’re talking about making changes that involve what people today see as noble and ethical values, personal rights..
So we are to have more babies to benefit government coffers and pay for turd world immigrants? The days of needed 10 kids to work the farm are long gone.
The article should have begun with: "With the exception of impoverished Africa, the world is facing demographic collapse. The following are the hard but necessary steps we must take to stem the tide."

They have to pay modern women to do the one thing unique to them they no longer want to do.
I’d favor surrogate young mothers being richly funded to have children.
A young couple next door just adopted a little one. They are delighted and, as often happens, may birth others with time.
(That is, if under-populating at 1.6 children per couple is really a problem).
Surrogate motherhood is a business. And many of the customers are gay men, who can often afford to pay more than hetero couples.
And getting rid of welfare would bigly reduce government spending, which would bigly reduce inflation. So it’d be easier to have a one income family.
Unfortunately a stupid article with nothing useful in it.
If we’re really honest all the big problems facing our world can be laid at the feet of government. Governments always act to benefit themselves first with their answer to every challenge being more spending, more laws, more regulations, more restrictions on individual liberty, etc. The reals answer to our problems is LESS government, a lot less.
Amen!
BS. End H-B and make life easier for our best and brightist.
“Full disclosure; My mother had 4 husbands. I’ve seen how women break homes.”
Full disclosure: My father and uncles were ministers, and we kids were privy to hearing about domestic issues in the churches. I’ve seen how abusive and cheating men break homes.
Agree!
“Doomsayers such as Elon Musk warn that these shifts threaten civilization itself. That is ridiculous,”
It is not ridiculous unless you think we can have civilization without humans.
Another anonymous op-ed writer who has all the answers— hypothetically of course— and no idea how to implement them.
Biblical Religion is the only real answer, not Quranic Islam, which results in a civilization that promotes death.
The problem in our society is that abusive, cheating men are punished. Abusive, cheating women are rewarded.
In a divorce, abusive and cheating men lose the house and the children.
In a divorce, kind and faithful men lose the house and the children.
Women always get the house and the children, whether they're abusive or kind, cheating or faithful.
That's why so many men are angry.
In a divorce, abusive and cheating men lose the house and the children.
In a divorce, kind and faithful men lose the house and the children.
......
In my state the first to file abuse allegations wins.
Always.
I see. Maybe some states‘ legislatures have recoiled from the extremely pro-woman legislation which Angelino97 has been describing.
Or am I wrong?
Over here, it‘s the same process going on.
