Its an old joke about a Syrian arriving in Germany and seeing only other brown people on the street. He stops a Turkish man and asks "where are all the Germans?" The Turk replies: "at work".

Some areas of the world are overpopulated. Those are the areas with high birthrates. Consequence of high birthrates is famine and high child mortality. Developed areas like all countries in Europe are not overpopulated. Agricultural output is more than what is needed to sustain the population in a sustainable manner. With technological developments like building more greenhouses we could sustain 10x more population with the same amount of land used for agriculture.

@akatsukicloak in not saying i would want more population, just that saying that Europe is overpopulated is a factually incorrect leftist talking point. The only country that is arguably close to it's population limit is the Netherlands. And city states like Monaco. Everywhere else has plenty of space, most European countries have issue of depopulated countryside, not overpopulation. The reason people aren't having kids isn't economic, it is social. Half of the population would rather invest their energy in growing their Instagram follower count than grow babies.

@tunisian_stats it takes two people to do that bro. And the other half of the population doesn't want to.

The only reason the Netherlands has 1.8 birth rate is foreign women who have an average birth rate of 3. The native population has a birth rate similar to Italy.

@viktoreisfeld9470 I know one couple who are married, guy my age around 30 and woman 5 years older, she had a miscarriage a year ago. One other guy I know is getting married this year. Everyone else is just dating or single. No one has kids.

You know the solution to the problem

@JhonJhonson-c8s German XX chromosome bearers dont want to reproduce with German men. Same story in every western european country. They hate us. They hate children too.

The problem isnt stability or politics. The problem is purely human nature. Given the choice, when they have an education and the ability to work to make money for themselves, the majority of women dont want to have children. That is why birth rates decline in almost every country across the world. Irrespective of economic systems, government types, and any other factors.

@finnb2318 The professor in Amsterdam who wrote that report has been blocked from entering the university ever again. They couldnt fire him because he has tenure, but he is no longer allowed to work. The report was also buried after 3 days in the media. If you talk about it people will call you a 1940s German. The ideology is too strong. People know it is not working but they hate their own race too much to admit it.

@wassafshahzad8618 immigrants in all european countries cost more tax money than they pay. on average 500 thousand euros over their lifetime. per person. importing more people isnt good for the economy. unless we get much stricter immigration policies that only allow people with education who can be net contributors. but we dont have that at the moment.

@jcliu I would love to see more people going to their ethnic homeland from the us. North Americans who come over here work and pay taxes, unlike the people that are coming here now.

@daandevos122 not if we are to comply with EU environmental regulations and save what little biodiversity is left. The less densely populated areas have to remain as such and use of pesticides and fertilizer in agriculture have to be reduced by a significant margin. Importing more people and building housing for them in those areas is not a solution to any of our problems.

@daandevos122 yes some basic people are leaving rural areas, a major reason is that there is too much regulation on farming making it almost impossible to make a profit. Not just environmental regulations but too much bureaucracy everywhere else. Which is in line with government policy, for the past decades they have been trying to force farmers to sell their land and then sell it to housing project developers at ten times the purchase price, no doubt with government officials taking kickbacks. But is nowhere near the rates at which the rural areas are depopulated in any other EU country. In France there are entire towns abandoned. Italy is giving away free houses to anyone who wants to live in them. Here even a house in the middle of nowhere costs 250K euro.

@daandevos122 oh yeh I can't even understand the dialects of people in small towns 30km from my own region so that's definitely a thing, and in the Netherlands the movement of people from countryside to cities and vice versa has been changing regularly every decade or so. A lot of people who can afford it are now moving out of cities and to the small towns because of cost of living, crime, and general quality of life. I myself left the city for those reasons and I'm much happier in a smaller community. Don't have to take a pocket knife or bike lock with me every time I go shopping.

@klown463 Germany isn't overpopulated. Nor France or Sweden or Spain or Italy. Plenty of small towns with empty houses. People just leave for the cities. Those are overpopulated.

JustinWilliams-ed2ug birthrates are going down in every developed country, not just densely populated ones. Sweden and Norway and Finland are incredibly sparsely populated and have the same problem. The problem is that a lot of people simply dont want to have kids, they rather focus on themselves, their career, buying fancy stuff they dont need, instead of having a family.

@tomorrowneverdies567 GDP/capita is just a single metric. If you have an education in math you should know that focusing on a single metric is bad. Birthrates below 2.1 (replacement rate) means more old people than young people, and thus population decline. This may not affect GPD per capita in the short term, but it does have very bad social and political consequences in the long term. More old people than young people means the old people are a larger voting block. This leads to political stagnation, and young people cant make any political impact with their minority vote. It also means that those young people will have to pay more and more taxes and more and more pension contributions to provide for the old people. Result of this, young people wont be incentivized to work and are more likely to emigrate to countries that dont tax them so highly, which leads to brain drain, more political and academic stagnation, and faster population decline, creating a positive feedback loop. You already know all these things, now admit to me that you know them. And reach the logical conclusion.

@tomorrowneverdies567 the problem with old people being the largest voting block is that they only vote for the status quo and to protect their own financial interests, mainly property values, at th detriment of young people, who can not afford those prices. Old people will vote against any measures that aim to increase social and financial mobility for younger people. And that is one of the major reasons for the low birth rates. Having a low population is not a problem in itself. Having a decreasing population is a problem. Stopping people from moving to Western European countries isn't going to fix our demographic problems. It will help mitigate some issues but it isn't the core of the problem. It is our own sickness and weakness that is the problem. And the only solution to that, well, just look at what happened in the 20th century when the same thing started to happen.

@tomorrowneverdies567 the alternative for young people, robbed of any hope of a future, no chance at a decent life, a family, a home, is to work as little as possible to feed themselves and try to manipulate the welfare system to get free money from a government that is just trying to rob them anyway. Young men are dropping out of education and the labor market at unprecedented rates. And they are right to do so. Paying taxes just prolongs this untenable system. Better let it collapse as soon as possible.

@tomorrowneverdies567 just look at which parties old people say they vote for in polls. It isn't syriza. Maybe a couple old communists, but not a lot. You know perfectly well what happened in the 20th century when the Germans were in a decline culturally, economically and demographically. For a supposed maths PhD you sure do like to play dumb. I don't need to be a medium to see what's going to happen. You already know it too. You just don't want to.

If anything, the native Germans and native Slavs have a common interest in the coming conflict.

@pyotrbagration2438 Calling German men incels is funny, when the actual problem is the other gender does not want to birth or take care of children. It would distract them from growing their Instagram follower count.
