Prosper and Unclebob : The quantity of peopl...@A.B. Prosper and Unclebob : The quantity of people is not the problem, is the quality. It seems that I, as a foreigner, understand better than you that your country has the capability to sustain far higher populations and that overpopulation on a planetary level is a myth, however the quality of the society will inhibit progress (the elite is not interested in anyone leaving this rock, such a move would undermine their power, hence transport and energy technologies have been suppressed mostly, patent system is used to block and slow down most innovation in today's society). <br /><br />Ever wonder why every invention seems to be geared at improving the monitoring, control and violence capabilities of the State? <br /><br />By the way the hallmarks of all declining societies is a fall in the birthrate, aging and lack of vigour, that's a historical harbinger not of hope or readjustment but of despair, whether or not your country has immigration. Just ask Japan whose culture is sinking ever to new lows and they have almost no immigration; they have collectively lost the will the live. <br /><br />Many of you Americans (and unfortunately us Europeans as well as others), don't understand nature abhors a vacuum.Héctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04454077123473773383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-18693540069113336032015-02-07T23:08:52.297-05:002015-02-07T23:08:52.297-05:00outsider, they don't have money enough for chi...outsider, they don't have money enough for children. <br /><br />To use US wages as an example, it takes about 2k a month + 500 per child to not live like a shit-pig or be constantly on the edge more or less depending on where you are of course <br /><br />if your combined income man and woman and benefits is say 2000 per month including health care that you seldom use, how many children can you afford and still maintain any quality of life?<br /><br />The answer is zero of course, maybe one. and as such you get what you get, low birth rates, <br /><br />Its not complicated, make sure young people have steady work at a decent pay rate and a healthy pro-natal society and you'll have a higher fertility rate<br /><br /> This means however a society that pushes women to motherhood, sets business policy for the common good and grossly limits immigration and trade. <br /><br />European societies being what they are do the opposite of the 1st, dabble in the second and fail on the last two.<br /><br />As for the idea that people actually have power, if so they sure don't feel it and while they could take it, they do not have a better replacement ideology and frankly between Uncle Sam's Occupation and simply exhaustion from centuries of internecine European bloodshed I can't blame <br /><br />To my way of thinking, the entirety of the European psyche is damaged from the PTSD of WW2. <br /><br />How they heal from it I do not know but its not more Christianity of that i am fairly certain, A.B.

They can arrange it into anything they want. Their opportunities are endless. And yet they seem to want it all to fade away with themselves.outsiderhttp://alturl.com/yaiqunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-13064214855694230222015-02-07T16:35:12.493-05:002015-02-07T16:35:12.493-05:00It is only because of the white western man's ...It is only because of the white western man's innovation and hard work that the third world invaders' populations are surging.

Our main goal will be preventing a Camp of the Saints situation.<br /><br />As for ethnic strife, its ongoing here in California Hispanic vs. Black and as soon as the Feds or States shuts down one guy, another pops up.<br /><br />Its a very low grade ethic civil war interestingly where Whites don't seem to have to take sides. Yet anyway. <br /><br />RE: situation in Russia and the West isn't very good but Russia did have its first natural population growth in two decades back in 2013. <br /><br />As noted also its TFR is the highest in Southern, Central or Eastern Europe and with the current religious resurgence has a chance of rising above replacement.<br /><br />There is also some preliminary evidence that younger Russians eschew excess vodka and one would hope harder drugs. <br /><br />Russia has hope unlike the West <br /><br />That said, its population has never been that high, its a hard place to live.<br /><br />Lower death rates aside, the rest of Europe is screwed<br /><br />Unlike the conventional wisdom this should have been expected, all of Europe is grossly overcrowded and high urbanized with many people having no way to make a living. Its only logical populations should decline <br /><br />I don't know why so many people have trouble understanding that with upwards 40% of peak fertile age young people with no full time work and who knows how many with low paid jobs, you aren't going to have many babies. <br /><br />The numbers suggest to me that a lot of people want 2 maybe 3 kids but simply can't afford them.<br /><br />I don't know how we fix it but decent Euro-Folks and other White people clearly don't want to live in a slum so the Davos crowd can have another private jet. <br /><br />This is a good thing.<br /><br />My guess and I know it will rankle the Neo-Liberals (who are the same warmongers Pat Buchanan was talking about anyways) but maybe some kind of economic nationalism and distributism mix is the way to go.<br /><br /> You change the incentives to favor domestic working and middle classes and not the rich and poor as is current and than control trade.<br /><br />How we do this especially with some of the corruption levels and the Marxists is of course the real question and its way above my pay grade anyway A.B.
