Exactly. Its less of a choice and more out of necessity in many circumstances.Or it could be that large families have become prohibitively expensive for most people. This is a known issue

Educated people are more reluctant to have children if they cannot guarantee they will be very well provided for. My great-grand parents cared at most if their children would have enough to eat but otherwise they were happy in having some extra hands helping with farm labor. The costs of having an extra children were minimal and people were expected to pull their own weight as soon as they could pick up a tool.Why do the West and Japan have so few children?
Their populations are aging and getting old and weak.
Well it remained uniquely Japanese, cohesive, and safe.But all the "race realists" told me Japan is the ideal society because it's homogenous.
This is what happens when you're below replacement level and you don't take new people in.Of the 7 countries with the highest GDP; Japan is the only one whose GDP didn't peak in 2021.

Well, you look at countries whose populations and economies are stagnating like this, like Japan and Russia, I don't think it's a mere coincidence. It's not happening in the US, UK, France, etc. These are economies built for growth.New people (immigrants) is a short-term fix.
Immigrants also get old, immigrants also have few children.
Mexico and many other South American countries are also now below replacement fertility rates and their population will start to decline very soon. Heck, even India is now below replacement level.
People panic and over worry about problems that aren’t even problems.

Counterpoint: He's a fucking idiot with a gimmick of posting lists only. Sometimes the list will have a source and explanation. After you see it a couple times its no longer fun or funny. Certainly a different style of gimmick, but it only gets a 2 out of 10 on my ranking.@codfather is consistently on point with interesting threads that deviate from the regular culture war rants.
Well done, sir.

It is a problem when a big part of your society is old.
You're my arch enemy and I despise and respect you but I must disagree.Counterpoint: He's a fucking idiot with a gimmick of posting lists only. Sometimes the list will have a source and explanation.

I wasn't aware that we were enemies, but now that I know you can eat shit. This asswipe doesn't have any perspective on anything. He only has a gimmick of posting lists. Only an idiot would dedicate as much time as he does to posting shit to stick to the gimmick.You're my arch enemy and I despise and respect you but I must disagree.
Having a unique style that fails your exacting standards doesn't necessitate stupidity. Simply a different perspective on global affairs.
Respectfully I disagree.
Edit: I should also say that accusing a person of being an "idiot" is severe and significantly uncharitable. It's unworthy of a poster of your esteem.

Shut the hell upLol
If you truly feel that way I'm sorry that you unfortunately wasted your time in this thread. For individuals such as myself who struggle to balance work, wife, children, and hobbies (an idiot), I appreciate the tidbits of non partisan information.
I appreciate you on this forum and wish you well in all aspects of your life.

You know, I should also say eugenicists like yourself, obsessed with the imperfect measurement of intelligence are simply creepy.Shut the hell up
