Apocalyptic Visions of Demographic Replacement

The London Guardian Science Weekly podcast reports:

The fertility rate in England and Wales has fallen for the third year in a row. It is a story that is being repeated all over the world, with two thirds of the global population now living in countries with below replacement level fertility. Low fertility rates have become a talking point on the political right, with Elon Musk claiming that population decline is an existential threat to the future of humanity. But for others, the timescales involved are too vast to start worrying about now. So how should we be thinking about population decline?

Notice that the Leftist press is always telling us how we should think.

[15:34] Far right and nationalistic groups have been pushing apocalyptic visions of future economic crashes or population collapses. Behind this panic around depopulation are often ideological stances on feminism and immigration, which sometimes slide into the racist debunked science of eugenics.

A lot of the people talking about low birth rates and worrying about not enough babies really means low birth rates for people they consider like them. Worried about the national identity of their countries, or even the racial makeup of their countries, and that's awful. Some of that is truly terrible.

No, it is not terrible for nations to be worried that they are being depopulated and replaced with foreigners having different national and racial identities. Nations should defend their people against being invaded and replaced.

Feminism has everything to do with the birth rates. It teaches that having babies should be entirely the choice of women, and that women can better fulfill their desires by having a career and forgoing babies. Birth rates always decline sharply when countries become more feminist.

And immigration also has everything to do with depopulation. In the USA, the population has increased entirely from immigration, and immigrant groups have the highest birth rates.

Wikipedia and others call this demographic change a conspiracy theory, there is no doubt that it is happening, and that it is driven by feminism, immigration, and differential ethnic fertility.

The London Daily Mail reports:

New polling released by NBC has revealed some eye-opening statistics about the gender and political divides of Generation Z.

While ranking over a dozen options of scenarios on their importance to an individual's definition of personal success, male Donald Trump voters selected having children to be the most important, and female Kamala Harris voters ranked child-rearing as least important.

Only six percent of female Harris voters thought that having children was most important to them, while 34 percent of male Trump supporters said the same.

Yes, this is feminism and ideology at work. Throughout most of human history, women viewed having children as most important, not doing paperwork in a cubicle.
