Then prepare your children and your grandchildren for life in an unhealthy society.

If these societies are reproducing, and the West isn't, ours isn't going to be the one that's left standing. I think we're witnessing the part about the meek inheriting the earth.

Eugenicists...softkill/hardkill murderers rejoice! Imagine the contempt they have for the unlofty, unworthy, bitter-clinger, dog-faced pony soldier, deplorable non-essentials. They’re having some yuk yuks.

“Many Muslim countries have a [greater] shortage of females than China does and it’s not sex selective abortion that is causing it.”

(pardon the edit) In both societies boys are valued much more than girls, both as heirs and progenitors. But it is Islam that actively disparages the female sex, and treats women as chattel.

A shortage of women in Muslim countries could explain why pornography is consumed in huge quantities in those places.

It’s also good news that fewer terrorist wolf cubs are being born as a result.

China’s disastrous One Child policy, even though canceled, has resulted in what I like to call the People’s Bachelor Army, for whom the prospect of finding wives is grim.

These things turn on a dime. There were dire warnings in the 1920s about declining population, right before France, Germany and Russia began to pump out new waves of kids.

Doesn’t matter because by 2100, it’ll be a whole new ballgame anyway.

You know what’s cool about trends?

They never change, never reverse. Once spotted and charted, the trend stays in force forever!

And, now that we’re not an early industrial or pre-industrial society anymore, we really need all those extra hands to turn those wheels and reap those crops!

That’s why we don’t have homeless bums all over our streets!

What would fix this “trend” is to throw out the foriegn invaders and beat the multi cultie cult down so hard they never get back up out of the bloody mud-puddle they’re beat into.

No, they do not. If you are at the edge of a demographic cliff, even if you start having more children, it will be 20 years before they can be contributing adults, and except for the occasional set of twins, you are only going to see one child every couple of years. The population drop-off in the '20s was nowhere NEAR as severe as what we have now.

Many of these countries have similar and even lower birth rates than the US.

Remember, these predictions are based on “no changes in behavior” for the next 100 years, while a baby boom could ensue at anytime for unforeseen reasons.

It also thinks immigration remains unchanged and ignores the advances in robotry that is supplanting them as cheap labor.

I was responding to your point, "They may have growing populations..." (If you state that, "they may have growing populations" and state here that the "they may have similar and even lower birth rates than the US", then both statements can only be true if they are importing their own Replacement Population as well; otherwise, both statements can't be correct.)

A lot of things could ensue at anytime for unforeseen reasons; we can do nothing more than act prudently on the information we have at hand.

That ‘projection’ of fertility rate has the same hallmarks of inaccuracy as the early WuFlu death rate projections — namely starting with the desired political statement and conclusion, and using imaginary math and pure fiction to bridge the gap between real data and the intended story.

Sure. Starting Just Right Now the fertility rate will just take a massive drop steeper than the Womyns’ Lib (and One-Child China) 70s for reasons unstated and unsupported. Cue the ‘yea right’ meme.

So ... here’s the US real data:

https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/fertility-rate

(viewing 1950-2020 is kinda useful). Obviously doesn’t turn on a dime but definitely turns on a decade, and varies proportionally with prosperity.

Any coincidence the same people who want a lesser-populated planet are the same ones trying to depress us and our economy?

I did not read the entire article, but the title understates the population decline by a factor of FIVE.

Several developed modern countries have currrent reproduction rates around or just above 1.0. Reproduction rate is based on a constant of 2.0. Two people, a man and a woman, produce two children, and they will sustain the population evenly for the next generation. Given that a generation lasts 20 years, a population growth rate of 1.0 means that the population is cut in HALF every 20 years.

The growth rates of Italy and South Korea currently hover around 1.0. Meanwhile the growth rate of the Muslim world is well above 2.0. Want to know why North Africans are flooding into Europe, and the Pope is abandoning Christian values?

You have your answer.

Both can be true because their are multiple muslim countries. Qatar and UAE have low birth rates and very high sex ratio imbalance. Those with better sex ratios have higher birth rates.

They are very sick societies.

Most of Western and Central Europe...Japan are at the top of the list.And the US would be there too were it not for wetbacks.

Anyone who has focused on demographics knows that some countries are soon to disappear. 50 years is soon. England as an example, is dead. America is dying. The land will be there, but the people will have been wiped from the face of the Earth. Demographics control the world now.

” Many Muslim countries have a higher shortage of females than China does...”

While it would suck to be a guy living in those societies, is it really a problem for them...or for us? I can certainly think of a few advantages they have with that situation, such as not having to worry about political decisions being based on ‘emotion’...including how to treat Illegals and enemy combatants.
