They probably see the writing on the wall.
Ecological collapse will make equatorial nations uninhabitable. Coming resource wars. Increasing cost of energy. Collapsing economies. Water shortage.
Low IQ populations incapable of creating their own functioning societies watching western nations over the internet and worshipping it like some sort of promised land.
The masses are coming. You have seen nothing yet. And I bet you that view is pretty clear from the top. So what should they do? Either they stop immigration and deport - but that would go against the narrative, and feminists would never agree and they are very much part of the power structure. Or they prime and prepare for what's coming, some last ditch doomed to failed attemt at social engineering, trying desperatly to brainwash people into accepting the destruction and subversion of their cultures, way of life, political and social systems, values and norms, ideals and aspirations. They're trying to make you love and revere and fear the low IQ masses who are about to flood your land in a deperate play hoping that a stable enough society can emerge. Because they know that unless forced by a narrative, if left free to your own will, you will never accept them or their ways, you need to be brainwashed. But the brainwashing isn't taking. Beucase they are fundamentally wrong in their assumtions. Humans are not social constructs. Nothing is. Everything has a rime and reason. They're failing, and they're getting nervous, and they're doubling down.
In a decade or two you're going to be attacked for saying it's crazy that we're about to elect islamists to power, "What's wrong with muslims being involved in the political process, you racist?". By the same people who today will tell you that "omg, are you serious, this will never happen, you paranoid idiot".
Who exactly are the 'low IQ populations incapable of creating their functional societies'?
Here you go: https://www.worlddata.info/iq-by-country.php
You didn't answer the question, unless you meant to reference everyone on that list form Singapore down.
Which one of those are 'low IQ populations incapable of creating functional societies'?
You're obviously not going to get an unassailable answer, becuase there is no exact cutoff point, and the aggressive tone you've approached this with tells me that there is no answer that is going to satify you.
However, if you press me I'd say the line is somwhere around 85 to 90, or about one standard deviation below the mean.
The US army doesn't accept anyone with an IQ under 83, because they've found that these people are not useful for anything and including them make it hard to maintain order.
I'd expect the ability to create and maintain an innovating and stable society to requre more brainpower than the absolute minimum for functioning in a strictly organized system like the army, so a bit above that doesn't sound unreasonable.
Anything under 79 is considered mentally retarded (with the higher range being classified as 'borderline retardation').
IQ is heritable, about level with height. And a nation having a low IQ average is not just a problem because they'll lack people who innovate and create and organize and stabilize. That too, but an even bigger problem is the strain the low IQ put on a society. IQ correlates with everything from financial success, health, life expectency, level of education, social status, emotional maturity, and productivity - to crime, impulse control, ability to delay gratification, violence, poverty, religious fanatisism, and competence.
With an average IQ of 85, 15% of your population is going to be in the 60s and lower. These people are extremely high maintenance, any country would struggle with more than a few % of people in this range, and especially countries that otherwise lack infrastructure due to the upper ranges being capped too (i.e. you'd expect Singapore to do better if you imported 1/4 of their population's worth of under 60 IQ indivuduals, because the population numbers above 100 are still going to be significant - not so with 85 average countries).
Does this satisfy you, or were you looking for something more like: "Now that you mention it, you're right, we can't know for sure, so therefore that must mean that IQ has no impact whatsoever on nationbuilding!".
