    The replacement part is bullshit made up to hate.

    He thinks EVERYONE needs to have more kids as the world is going to run into major problems with population decline, like is happening In Japan if trends continue.

    I don’t agree with him, but he is advocating for everyone, not white people.

    Edit: and he has talked about this many times, it’s not new.

      I don’t understand the fear of population decline. We grow and grow until…?

      Less people is better for the planet. But less people means not enough people to support the layer of pyramid above it.

        That’s it isn’t it?

        Who’s going to pay for those millions of vacant apartments, and who’s going to support the elderly if there’s not enough people?

        Like it or not, there will be a disruption from it if its too sudden, but I don’t see it as the dire thing that he seems to think it is. It’ll eventually sort itself out and we’ll be better for it.

          We can’t grow forever. We’ve already made irreversible damage to the planet. Disruption to human comfort is nothing compared to the species and lands that are now forever extinct.

          (I’m not sure if we’re on the same page. I read your message two ways)

            I agree, we can’t grow forever, I just also think there will be consequences to a declining population, but thats okay, and we’ll get through it. The more gradual we can decline the smoother it’ll be.

            Continuing our growth would just be worse in the end.

              What consequences do you see? I don’t see anything difficult to overcome. What big picture am I not seeing that you’re talking about?

              With the way some country leaders talk about using nuclear weapons these days (Russia and now Israel), it won’t be a gradual decline in world population but a rapid one.
