Oh, get off, they ARE having babies, but you've been brainwashed to think it's "not enough".
Well, the Japanese live on fucking islands. Instinct tells you to breed less the more crowded you are, and the Japs are fucking so crowded, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CAME UP WITH THE PODS. All the cocksucking human supremacists whining for "more babbies" are the very cunts wanting to feed you bugs and shove you into JAPANESE pods.
WHY SHOULD THEY WANT TO BREED LIKE RATS? EVEN RABBITS REGULATE THEIR OWN NUMBERS BY REABSORBING KITS IN THE WOMB WHEN THE FEMALES FEEL TOO CROWDED. (They don't need you to decide "too many" for them, fucking supremacist cunt.) Fucking assholes want humans to be the mindless breeders rabbits aren't!
That's the kind of world young Gen-Xers were promised, but the economists went and smashed it all in the late 1980s. ie, as soon as they were selling Coca-Cola and Raunchy Ronnie's in China and India (and now have vending machines in Antarctica, I'm sure), there are no more new markets to open, so they want a world of nothing but humans that consoom like locusts.
The problem is that the entire world's economy is based on a pyramid scheme. Each generation pays to take care of the ever-growing population of non-working elderly who nowadays live longer than ever with more health problems than ever.
Modern society already has "managed decline", almost every single culture on earth naturally winds up at or below replacement level when it reaches a post-industrial stage in economic development.
There's just no way to handle that without completely changing the entire economic system to something like UBI, or alternatively we discover some kind of limitless cheap energy.
Found the commie!
How about you fuck off with being too stupid to count? I literally just explained to you in plain english why each generation needs to be larger than the prior one and pay more into the system.
You physically can not keep the current retirement system going without that, and if you go 100% privatized and abolish social security entirely you just make the problem even worse because then people need to have 10 kids to support them in their old age again.
Nobody's talking about seizing the means of production, we're talking about fucking basic math.
You and I both know a "managed decline" would involve our worse halves refusing medical treatment to us and other heinous acts.
You know, I wonder if there is something to that, including with the "Low birth rate" in the West. I always hear about how no one in the US is having kids, but most of the people I work with have children, and my smaller town (about 50K people) is having to build a new elementary school because the current system is overloaded. So that news clearly never made it here.
But it wouldnt surprise me if that narrative exist because no one in the cities is having children, and since people in media never leave their mega-cities and go out in the countryside, they are bubbled up like usual and not getting a realistic picture of the world (like usual).
