The good news: You’re a childless adult who can do fun things and just let the rest of the population keep the numbers up so civilization doesn’t collapse from rapid population decline.
The bad news: Everyone else has this idea also.
edit: if you think this is an argument for “great replacement” theory, you’re too deeply internet brained and are a child with values shaped by internet streamers, this is a progressive issue involving countries with declining populations who aren’t opening borders, this will be a problem for all of us.
I mean, we’re all raging at this presidential administration for ending USAID which supplied food and medicine to developing nations and poverty-stricken regions without infrastructure, it will lead to the deaths of millions, for no other reason than they don’t have access and resources in many of the places the program served.
if populations collapse in too many industrialized nations too rapidly, many industries and shipping lanes and distribution channels will start to slow down and possibly even eventually close entirely, leading to much greater problems than even the absence of USAID or other programs. A lot of our modern infrastructure we depend on functions on a scale dependent on a certain level of production and labor.
A lowered population would absolutely help us with a lot of issues with scarcity and pollution, but we can’t get to those lowered population levels rapidly or that’s the same as any other apocalyptic event that will cause vast amounts of suffering.
Nah you’re missing the bigger picture. Sure, millions of people will die, but thousands of orphan children will have the opportunity to be forced to become sex slaves for Trump. That’s way more profitable than giving away free medicine.
Ah, so that’s what it is. You saw someone bad screaming about problems with population demographics and have been programmed to scream and rage whenever you see someone actually talking about a real issue, that’s a real good way to become stupid.
This has nothing to do with ethnicity, this is logistics, countries that are simultaneously not opening borders for immigration AND not doing more to support family growth are going to experience economic collapse, which will have catastrophic effects on distribution networks.
You still with me?
Rapid population collapse hurts more people than the harmful effects of overpopulation, and modern trends are showing a global decline in birth rates, with some nations like South Korea are going to be completely insolvable within a couple generations and cities will be abandoned.
SK is the worst case, but this is widescale and largely a product of capitalist influence and authoritarianism making people not want to have relationships and family, along with the toxic social effects of the internet.
Don’t let fuckers like Elon Musk hijack issues that actually matter and have control over how you feel about what you see. Why would you give someone like that so much power over how you feel?
You can’t say you hate what happened with USAID and ignore the effects on logistics from industrial nations becoming unable to produce. This is about capitalism crushing our hope for a future and making people not want to have lives and futures.
I understand that your point is reactionary institutional bullshit, regardless of how you try to spin it. It’s a racist conspiracy theory for people worried about losing their social status and entitlement. You’re blowing a dog whistle. Fuck off with this.
I am citing an issue with xenophobic capitalism, and you won’t even get past your own breathless reactionary impulses to consider that this is an issue that will become a bigger and bigger issue, unless you think the current crisis in South Korea and Japan are conspiracy theories.

Would that really be a bad thing?

Fuck off.
Sure gave me a lot to think about there, very nuanced and thoughtful response.
Take your white replacement theory and shove it up your ass, you fucking loon.

You want me to shove data up my ass too?

Sure.
Okay so you’re too emotional to read or understand things that you would otherwise agree with, can’t backtrack on reactions, right?

Take a look at the world population graph, they evidently don’t. You’re not doing enough fun stuff god dammit!
