I would, but the Ravenous Maw is hungry again :-).
Amen! As Santayana reminds us ... "Those who do not learn from history are forced to repeat it". Each time feminism has reeled her ugly head, society has collapsed. The US is next.
Lower birth rate for Germans.
My neighbor is from Germany and he travels to Germany one or two times a yr. He informs me the tax rate for woking people is out of control. His niece and husband both work to jobs for
support. I said to him, maybe they should lower their life style, his reply, they do not live an expensive life style.
They have a small house and one car, it's the taxation.
If two working people scarcely get by why would they try to have children?
"German birth rate hits bottom."
That is -- not counting the birth rate of Third World immigrants who have swarmed into the German welfare state.
The birth rate among immigrants in Germany is among the highest in the world, even higher than Mexican illegals in America.
Like rabbits and salmon, the weaker and more defenseless a people are, the quicker they multiply
Send out an offer of 5 years tax free for each child and see how fast those Germans start procreating.
Taxes for Average Joe German are above 60 percent.
There is zero reason why the working class should ever expect anything more than a tiny 60 HP car (to share), and a 2 bedroom apartment.
Houses in Germany are outrageously priced.
The post WW II statistics are a bit skewered given the Soviet occupation.

What would you rather have in life..
1.Toys for yourself or
2.Save & Sacrifice for your children...
If the answer is #1 you probably don't want to have kids.
I will be happy to lend and hand....... and superior German genes
Their citizens in their 20's are too busy dancing to techno to have children.
easily 70% to 80%.
Maybe closing down the abortion mills would help...
Why can't they use that lovely unemployment benefits that immigrants seem to glom onto?
Get fired, have a baby, and collect unemployment.

I don't, western Europe deserves it. (Maybe you should realize the fact that your ancestors came here because they didn't care to be a part of Europe anymore).
Maybe not but it's happening here too...
