  1. It's materialism that drives this. East Asia always valued "education" more than the rest of the world. In ancient China the most prestigious positions within the government could only be reached through exams. Something that has clearly been evolved into something far worse. The Prussian model is actually even more horrendous because it doesn't even produce educated pupils. It's literally useless. That and most modern school systems have been designed that way because of women's emancipation. Mothers work 8 hours a day so the government completely coincidentally created a system where they can drop off their kids for 8 hours in a special facility to take care of them. It's been proven that kids function better with 2-4 hours of lessons a day and even end up more educated than their public school peers. Which is the main reason why homeschooling is by far superior to public schools nowadays. But guess what? If you want emancipated women, you get low fertility rates and either uneducated youth or educated burned-out youth. Have your pick.

  2. The West as we know it is rapidly heading to its death. Something that has happened numerous times in the past. The question is if it will once again rise from the ashes. I also highly doubt that a democratic and peaceful way to reach remigration will ever occur. The only way it can happen is if there is a massive revolution/cultural shift on the day that Western civilization faces death. And that will definitely come. Massive cultural shifts unimaginable to past generations happen all the time. So there is hope. Hopefully the European spirit and culture isn't completely dead by the time this shift comes.

  3. Not necessarily true. That'd be how non-monogamous societies could survive. Monogamous Christian societies with strong arranged marriage institutions would have a healthy demographic without the need for war culling the men's numbers. In Christian strict monogamous societies, MOST men got married and MOST women also got married. To each other.

  4. That's mainly because of wars and slavery. Men were far more likely to be enslaved and on top of that millions of men died in wars all around the world ALL THE TIME. If you exclude these, Christian societies had almost full rates of men reproducing. If you're saying that a system were the vast majority of men reproduce can't be produced, then you'd be wrong. It's statistically and practically possible. It's just very unlikely because of cultural circumstances. We live in an age where everything can be calculated if society wanted to. But here's the issue. How are you gonna make all the materialist people religious out of the blue? How are you gonna implement arranged marriage policies? How are you going to repeal much of feminist changes? Without a massive cultural change, you can't. And most of these things usually work better if it's a cultural and societal standard and not a legal one. So I don't see it happening without a clear cut collapse.

  5. more like calling women accountable or islam a religion of peace.

  6.  @hasinabegum1038  That's actually untrue. But let me help you through. When Western countries were actually white, European and Christian they were by far the safest around the world. The countries that have remained white and Christian are still safer than every single country that you mentioned. Iceland, Poland, Finland, Switzerland, Slovakia, Czechia etc.

  7. It's lower than the Us. Us is 4-6 per 100k in homicide rate. El Salvador has dropped at 2.4. It's officially the country with the lowest murder and crime rates in the Americas.

  8. Not really. Urbanization is just a phenomena of a rapidly atomized and growing society. The demographic crisis just comes along. Cost and size of housing has been shown repeatedly to have little to no correlation to birth rates. What actually has caused the demographic crisis is religion being replaced with materialism and patriarchy being replaced by egalitarian feminism. Also the widespread birth control which is directly correlated to feminism btw.

  9.  @josec.6394  It's not necessarily their fault since it's in their nature to behave that way. There is a reason why there wasn't a "choice" for the other half in the vast majority of societies. There is a reason why that other half statistically speaking is and would be far happier if they were randomly put into arranged marriages. :face-red-droopy-eyes:
    37
  10. Nope. Japan has the lowest obesity rates, still very low birth rates

  11. Lebanon's conflict had nothing to do with demographics though. It was directly tied to the Palestinians that were kicked out of Kuwait and Jordan that started a civil war and displaced/slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Lebanese Christians. Besides that, low birth rates, low marriage rates and high average marriage age usually predict the collapse of the society. You might be right on a revolution not happening, although it's definitely more likely than things staying as they are. Societal collapse could mean overtake, replacement or just anarchy. It's not something certain. What is certain though (in my opinion) is that mass death will be unavoidable. Population collapse will occur and since we've reached far higher population than any time in history, the event will also be far more disastrous in absolute numbers. Besides if we look at the Roman Empire people also were like the meme you mentioned, believing that nothing ever happens and that the peace and prosperity will last forever since they'd reached the pinnacle of humankind at the time. Guess what happened decades later? The empire collapsed, got split up and conquered and a new wave from the Roman masses managed to revive the empire under Christianity and managed to keep it alive for another 1000 years, although the original lands of the empire were conquered and ravaged by other ethnic tribes.

  12. Yes. Correct. I see how great my grandparents marriages were and then I see all those serial monogamists, all the divorced fathers and husbands. There is literally no incentive anymore. The only chance I get married is if I find a girl that is 20% of the woman my grandmothers were. 20% is extremely low btw, but women nowadays are just so low quality that it's quite hard to find one that fits said standard.

  14.  @thievingpanda  You can't pay native populations to have children. Hungary's fertility programs utterly failed and it's quite a myth going around that they've worked. Look at their fertility rates or even the crude birth rates. It went down to 1.4 per woman and after the policies it went to 1.55 and it's now falling again back down to 1.5 and in the near future probably even less. Paying can't solve the fertility crisis because the fertility crisis has nothing to do with material wealth and everything to do with spiritual bankruptcy and societal degeneration. Unless both materialism and feminism are reduced and completely rejected, nothing will change. The population will continue to collapse. So unless we revert back to the Christian patriarchal societies we used to be, we won't be saved. TLDR: Highly religious people are the only ones with above replacement level fertility rates in all western countries.

  15.  @josec.6394  Plenty of "single" women. The vast majority are not even bronze level rarity, nevermind gemstone level.

  16.  @Aetherblade-z4o  that and the fact that there is no common denominator (🥷🏾) in the country helps a lot too.

  17.  @x-winger9387  Female decline in procreation happened in societies that are going through a collapse. If you look at the Roman Empire or the Iranian Chaliphate prior to the Mongols, they had the same thing with lower birth rates (although never at the lows we are having now). Top men didn't monopolize women in European societies. Sure some had concubines and prostitutes, but those women made up for the men dying in wars and in labor. Most healthy adult men could and did get married in medieval, rennaissance and post-industrial Christian societies.

  18.  @mysterioanonymous3206  Well my standards are probably high in other parts but not looks. Can you tell me how many women (mid or not) you know that are religious, marriage minded, chaste and young? Social media hasn't skewed my perception of attractiveness since I find most girl I see on the streets or I associate with as attractive enough. My standards come from my experience seeing how actual marriages work from my grandparents. I'd be insanely shocked and happy if I could find a woman that is 20% what of what my grandmothers were to my grandfathers. Yet somehow in my own experience that standard alone excludes almost all modern women.

  19.  @sasi5841  High trust societies do NOT necessarily make people naive, docile or materialistic. All these things have to do with religion and patriarchal structure. You can have a high trust warrior society that is deeply religious. That's pretty much a bunch of medieval and ancient societies. Low-trust societies are just ripe for civil war and tribal warfare. If the native population loses in these wars, it signals the downfall of said society.

  20.  @m.c.martin  Technically, Rome was burnt to the ground and rebuilt. But if you're talking about the Roman empire it survived up until 1453.

  21.  @-lord1754  Depends. In Europe which is where my main body of research is, it will be a struggle and probably civil unrest between migrant populations (specifically islamists) and European natives. Whoever wins will rule the lands. The islamists have a birth rate and population increase advantage, the European natives have an IQ and cohesion advantage. In countries that remain relatively homogenous, the natives will reemerge and the strongest faction will rule.

  22. 30% is high. In my major it's at best 10%, and at worst 2%.
    13
  23.  @ladybug3380  It 100% works out. How did it work out for centuries within Christian societies? The time when it stopped working out was when feminism was introduced into society. Even then most people are serial monogamist nowadays, not polygamists. Which is just a sh*tty replacement for lifelong monogamy.

  24. Not exactly accurate. The number would be more close to 2.2-2.3x because of mortality rates of men of ages 40-60 and if you add on top of that a traditional religion-based marriage structure, it'd drop even lower since most older men would already be married. So technically speaking, even if we have no wars to cull the numbers of men, if there is a religious arranged marriage system where men of young ages married women of young ages, that would result in a very small dating imbalance and surely far smaller than what we have here. The internet and smartphones only extenuated an already growing problem that started during the s**ual liberation movement of the 60s and 70s. Hypergamy already existed and was already creating a bunch of issues in the dating market and then the internet and smartphones just took it to another level by globalizing the scope of hypergamous women.

  25. Yes and no. That doesn't take into account the heavy division of the population. The rivalry between men and women. The migration issues. What you describe here is a best case scenario. From my understanding it won't be that peaceful. People will be killing eachother, resources will start becoming scarce and cause famines and droughts. Civil wars, forced marriages, gang violence and general lawlessness will prevail before the nations are retaken and reconstructed. Many people will die and it will not be a pretty death.

  26.  @jirislavicek9954  Missed the most important one. Feminism.

  27. I went to a uni in China recently for education purposes (not for too long though) and the reality is that the vast majority of the students there were women. Several female friends told me that if I came there to study for a prolonged time, I will almost instantly get a gf because of the severe lack of male prospects. China has the exact problem you're analyzing in this video, on a massive scale. On top of that feminist programming exist at almost full force there as well. At least from the cities I visited.

  28. It's unsustainable in the long run.

  29. ​ @JohnJourdan88 Attributing any form of dating talk to red pill is why we are at this point. People can't even talk about the most prominent modern issue aka dating without being labelled and casted out.

  30. It'd be quite amusing seeing the collapse although most of us would 100% suffer through it. I guess anyone who manages to have offspring could hope to have a healthy society for his grandchildren.

  31.  @JSM-bb80u  All of the countries mentioned have extremely low birth rates. Very religious people are extremely low in all the countries you mentioned too. Identifying as religious and actually being religious, abiding every day by Christian ethics and morals, being in a tight Christian communities etc. If you look at actual studies on this, very religious people (pray every day, go to church every Sunday) are the only group with above replacement birth rates. But they are a small part of the population even in "highly religious countries". Can you tell me how many women in Italy, Poland and Ukraine would agree with this fundamental statement about the function of Christian marriage? "Wives should fully submit (always obey) to their husbands" I am in a "highly religious" country. Believe me, the vast majority of my peers are not religious. And I've yet to find a very religious woman my age (I know of a few men though).
    9
  32.  @JSM-bb80u  Again, France is also a lot below replacement level of birth rate. Can you give me a single example of a feminist and non-religious country with above replacement fertility rates AT ANY TIME in recent history? Just because "feminist+social egalitarianism" means 0.1-0.3 more birth rate than "feminism+social gender roles" doesn't mean you found a successful model. Just 2 unsuccessful ones. And yes, all the low birth rate countries are at the very least 3rd wave feminist level. South Korea, China, Japan, Italy, Greece, Russia. All of them. There are also very egalitarian countries with very low birth rates like Germany.

  33.  @bloodwargaming3662  SYRIZA used to be euroskeptic but now it's not. It's also left wing not centre-left nor far-left. But it is left wing nonetheless. PASOK is centre-left.

  34.  @danielutriabrooks477  And? Czechia has a 0.8 homicide rate as of 2022. An outlier doesn't prove a rule. Norway also had 1 mass shooting with 60+ deaths does that make Norway unsafe? The question is if you are likely to be victimized there. And Czechia ranks as the 6th lowest crime rate in Europe (similar to Monaco).

  35.  @ultrajorge  What you're suggesting will only push retirement age later and increase mortality rates. It won't save the economy whatsoever. There are several steps that must be taken before we even come close to having a viable economy and fertility rate. From forcibly removing women from the workforce, to mass deportations, to arranged marriages, to the breakdown of materialism and degeneracy. All the steps that must be taken need insane cultural shifts which I could never picture us taking without a really bad event taking place (mass d3ath or huge wars). Trump for example is just a moderate, his cabinet picks are just a different establishment group, so not much will change nor will he enact the extreme policies that are needed to prevent a future collapse of the Us. So in my books unless some drastic cultural shift happens I don't see how societal collapse is preventable in any of the Western countries. TLDR: Childless or divorced men have absolutely no reason to be productive into their senior years. I barely have some desire now that is fed by the delusion that marriageable women still exist out there, I can't imagine myself still holding into it after that hope is dead due to the reality of the modern world. That and the fact that I would never fight a feminist and degenerate government that doesn't give 2 sh*ts about me.

  36.  @HannyDart  Chemistry engineering here is also male dominated. Only architecture is female dominated from our fields. I study electrical and computer engineering.

  37.  @rgonzalo511  80% of Japanese high school boys aged 16-18 never had a kiss. 80%. That's all you need to know about "Muh demographics".

  38.  @vectorsahel5420  Nope it was an economics university that encompasses language studies as well. Their male population is a lot more rural than their female population. Chinese women are enrolling at higher rates in unis than Chinese men. Only in Doctorate degrees Chinese men overtake women. In both undergraduates and masters they are more.

  39.  @benjaminverpoort  As long as you're a native Belgian they will welcome you. But we all know about the Belgian citizenship trends lately.

  40.  @benjaminverpoort  Yep very true. I am Greek and I love Greece, but I may have to move out for a few years because the opportunities for my profession are just not that good as in many countries abroad. If I am to move though, I will be certain to learn the language and the culture and try to assimilate as much as I can. I will also preferably pick a country that I already have some ties with (either through family or just studying the language and have friends there). If anyone wants to permanently live in a country that they are not native to, in my opinion they will have to put even more effort than the locals to follow the customs and such. Also always vote in the interest of the natives and preferably not vote by your nation's ideologies.

  41.  @ज्योत्स्ना1  Many Indian nationalists have been talking about the issue for a long time. If the islamists are not removed, they will take over eventually. If it's not in this generation it will be in 2, 3 or 4 generations.

  42.  @indianboy59  For your last sentence, that's the entirety of East Turkey. Although Greeks there didn't decide to become muslims but usually got forcibly islamized. Some did decide because the non-muslim citizens of the Ottoman empire were subjected to tax, blood tax, massacres and enslavement. If you do DNA tests to most east turkish people they are Greek. They also look nothing like Turks i.e. Turkmenistan. They are more similar to Greeks because they are Greek descendants. Just for reference, Constantinople only became majority muslim in the start of the 20th century. If not for islamist rule, we Orthodox Greeks would amount 50+ million. If we had support from France or the UK during the Greco-Turkish war, we'd also have most of east turkey and our population would be 30+ million. Sadly islamists won anatolia by mass islamizations over the centuries and then a swift genocide and ethnic cleansing of the remaining Christians of Armenian, Greek and Assyrian descent.

  43. They can't offset the below 1.3-1.4 birth rate that native Turks have (aka white Turks). Kurds and Syrian immigrants are the only reason why the population didn't start declining 1-2 decades ago.

  44.  @captainalex157  I dont use apps, I have plenty of goals besides women and I don't have one. Having said that, it's most likely true that if I put even a miniscule amount of effort I could get one. But why would I? I see my grandmother and then I see the women I hang out with or I see around and many of them are fine girls. But they're far from relationship material, nevermind marriage material. So what should I do? Hop on a relationship after a relationship until I reach my 30s and I am forced to marry 30+ yo that's been through the ringer that is gonna give me at best 2 kids and nag my balls? Become a serial monogamist like most my peers? I don't think so. If I ever find a good dutiful and marriage minded girl maybe then I'll pursue. Until then I don't see the reason or the incentive to do so.

  45.  @buddermonger2000  You didn't watch his video then did you? He speculates that housing may cause it, but he brings up study after study that shows house prices have literally 0% affect on birth rates. My grandfather slept in a room with 6 people and no beds during his childhood. Housing has absolutely nothing to do with creating a family. Housing costs in rural places are almost always low and on top of that you don't really need an enormous house to raise a bunch of children in. Secularization is in fact the effect. The moment people leave their faith in God and their ancestral values, they become atomized and self-centered.

  46. eeeeewwwwwww Why would you try to date a single mom. That's disgusting.

  47.  @blugaledoh2669  The difference in likelihood is less than 5% btw. So divorce being 40% instead of 45% still makes the odds of MY wife divorcing me higher statistically speaking. If you eliminate the divorces filed by men, since I don't believe in divorce besides on clear cases of breaking the vows. I only care about the chances of HER divorcing me. If we break it down, the "lower likelihood" of a divorce occuring if the woman is educated being adjusted to the chances of said educated woman divorcing me would add up to actually a higher likelihood of an educated woman divorcing me than an uneducated one.

  48.  @JellyAntz  You can't only partially reject feminism. Feminism from the getgo is made with the purpose of the destruction of any and all patriarchal structures. Whether that's within the government, the family or the church. So you either remove it completely from the equation or you keep it as is. You choose.

  49. Economic incentives have majorly failed to drive up fertility rates in all of the countries that they have been applied to. The only way to drastically change fertility is by a big cultural wave. Other than that I don't how we can fix our fertility rates. Plus if you take into account the fact that economic incentives have been failing to fix fertility rates on top of the fact that low fertility rates put more strain into the welfare system, the solutions you speak of are disastrous for society in general. And even more so, saying that people don't have children because they cannot afford them is idiotic, since the countries where people are the wealthiest also have the lowest fertility rates.

  50.  @RK-bx1by  Funny how you immediately went on to Australia and not Norway which he also mentioned. Population in this case doesn't necessarily matter since his case was that extractivist economies can be quite successful. However South Africa wasn't solely extractivist but also a hub for international trade and science. The underlying issue is that the governing rights were given to useless activists that destroyed the country and that the vote was extended to low IQ and uneducated people that made up the majority of the country. If apartheid continued and instead the white africans allowed their success to bleed over to black africans then the country would have continued to prosper. The infrastructure and services were pretty good prior to the fall of apartheid, the issue is that instead of continuing to develop said infrastructure the black politicians destroyed it.
