ARE WESTERN DEMOCRACIES DYING?

Posted on 03/22/2018 12:34:15 PM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

Industrialization, low birth rate. The trends are all there. Meanwhile 3rd world nations have a high birth rate, particularly Muslim nations. When children are a poor persons wealth you will have many. It was not too long ago when farming communities had 10 children on the farm hoping half of them lived. Longer lives are now guaranteed and one doesn't need to work as hard. Can we continue to grow without a higher birth rate as well as live with Islam?

50? We're mere years away from a complete break-up.

No.

White countries are dying. Democracy may have something to do with it.

The socialist saturation point was breached a while back. The question is can we roll it back in time? Medicaid, medicare and social security all have to go, along with the income tax (16th amendment) and 17th amendment. If we do all of that and stop abortion, we will have a fighting chance. As a society, I doubt we are up to it.

Russian women are having fewer kids. Blame government policy. China: 1 child per family. Japan. Everyone getting old and living is expensive. U.S. Life is good and no one wants to share their wealth unless you’re a Mexican who has none to begin wit. It points to Socialism.

Materialism and having the latest “things” has its costs.

The plan:

1) Tell them they must abort their babies because shut up.

2) Tell them they must import million of third-world primitives because they aren’t having enough babies.

3) PROFIT!!!

I agree with you. Most of my public high school teachers and about half of my college professors were non-liberal. It’s sad to think how much brain washing goes on now.

Democracies always die.

We don’t HAVE to live with Islam. There are options.....

3rd world nations better hope Western Democracy and civilization doesn’t die. They have never and will never rise above that status without Western Civilization pouring billions into providing food, medicines and social structure to facilitate those ‘guaranteed long lives’.

Prior to western democracy, many 3rd worlders lived in cannibalistic, genocidal, slave-taking, ritualistic murder societies. So no matter how many children they had, few survived slaughter. The average age of Africans even now, for instance, is 35. Islam isn’t going to change that - the slavetraders were muslim. The tribes that slaughtered other African tribes were muslim. The tribes that slaughtered Indonesians were muslim.

Take away the money, take away ideals of democracy, and the world will again descend into primitive, disjointed societies where bullies hold the power of life and death.

The main problem, as I see it, there is no incentive for young men to get married and raise a family. A wife and children are a potential economic catastrophe.

Bummer. We need families with 3 kids. That means stability. What percentage can be called stable? Maybe we need more Jesus freaks raising other peoples kids and give them a stipend. Get rid of the foster care system. Old folks available for 2 hours at a time like Meals on Wheels. Make welfare conditional on volunteerism(along with mandatory drug tests). Tighten up my friends.

Low birth rate is good.

Immigration invasion is bad.

Quit demonizing lower birth rates. Ever increasing birth rate is called exponential and is irresponible. Statism desires overpopulation crammed into dense inhumane closet apartments.

Rent Seeking is inhumane.
Ownership is Success.
