  • Those uneducated people usually from poorer third world countries get a lot of children cause of environmental factors:

    • high infant and child mortality
    • shorter life expectancy
    • they need their children to work in mines
    • No sex education

    Educated people usually from first world countries don’t get a lot of children because:

    • housing is too expensive
    • the country makes work/education and family are hard to combine
    • childcare isn’t well organized
    • there’s too little security

    Countries like France and the Scandinavian nations do better:

    • affordable childcare
    • parental leave
    • flexible work
    • stable housing certainty

    Result: higher birth rates than Japan, Italy, Spain, and formerly Germany. 
If you want a “younger” society → invest structurally in good family life.

    This is like stuff from geography I was taught in highschool, don’t you have your high school diploma or what? 😂


  • Japan before WWII

    • high infant and child mortality
    • shorter life expectancy
    • many people didn’t live to old age
    • there was population growth, but it was slower and much younger

    So:

    → lots of children

    → many young adults

    → few elderly

    Japan after WWII

    → baby boom

    → improved healthcare

    • better nutrition
    • rising prosperity
    • vaccinations
    • medical technology Japan becomes world champion in life expectancy (over 80 years on average).

    → Japan gives women more freedom to study and work.
 But… the system around family, work, and care barely changes.

    • women can pursue careers
    • but the country still expects women to:
      • run the household
      • raise children
      • often care for in-laws
    • and employers still expect:
      • extremely long working hours
      • almost no flexible schedules
      • full-time loyalty to the company
        → Conclusion: children are discouraged

    Fertility collapses + a huge adult generation (from the baby boom)
From the 1970s onward, the birth rate drops dramatically due to:

    • career-focused culture
    • high cost of living
    • marrying later
    • limited childcare
    • women working + conservative family structure
      → Japan falls to about 1.2 children per woman → structural population decline.

    Lessons / Conclusion: Japan shows what happens when you don’t make structural changes for a long time.
 Too few workers + too many elderly = shortages of labor, money, and care.

    Solutions

    1. More children (slow solution)
Birth rates usually don’t fall because people don’t want kids, but because:
    • housing is too expensive
    • work and family are hard to combine
    • childcare isn’t well organized
    • there’s too little socioeconomic security

    Countries like France and the Scandinavian nations do better:

    • affordable childcare
    • parental leave
    • flexible work
    • stable housing certainty

    Result: higher birth rates than Japan, Italy, Spain, and formerly Germany.
If you want a “younger” society → invest structurally in good family life.

    1. Raising the retirement age (helps a bit)
    2. Robots and automation (already implemented by Japan)
    3. Immigration / controlled immigration (the fastest solution)

    Without immigration → extreme population decline and extreme aging.
    In Europe: immigration + integration makes aging far less severe.

    Japan can insist “we don’t want immigration,” “we are homogeneous,”
“we’ll manage through discipline,” but eventually this collides with simple math. If we want to preserve our way of life, we have to take demographic reality seriously, with better childcare, higher productivity, and controlled immigration.








  • Those Nazis are murdering innocent Americans without due process. How can that be? Why isn’t anyone standing up, helping, resisting, even throwing paint or helping people escape? Dress up in MAGA clothing to cover urself up lmao meanwhile slash their tires while they’re not looking. And those so-called “peaceful” protests? Your own president literally said he “shits on you” it’s all over that video and still people think peaceful protests will fix anything? America honestly makes me physically sick right now. Wake up. Go on strike, build strike funds, take real action. And please, keep that Nazi nonsense far away from Europe.

    Can yall not ask taylor swift to set up something or billie eilish like… force them all to care




  • Why wont MAGA learn to assimilate in to the broader culture? They come to us demanding we do things their way instead of learning our way. They want our taxes, attention, and opportunities but what do they give back? They dont create our art, movies, music, shows, books, poems, or science. They dont generate positive revenue in their states. They dont know our constitution or our laws. They wont respect our flag or our troops active or retired. They refuse to pay taxes. They spread disease on purpose. They have the lowest education rates. They have the highest violent crime rates including gun deaths and domestic abuse. They have higher divorce rates and the poverty rate is unreal.
