i think that white guilt has manifested itself in a lack of will to reproduce. maybe we feel we don’t deserve to exist?
after all the muslims and latinos have so much more to offer.
not being racist here, just stating the multicultural beliefs.
Maybe. But more likely is the cost vs. rewards of having children. Just speaking financial not spiritual here.
Costs: decreased earnings, decreased free time, increased costs, increased liability. Vastly lower standard of living.
Rewards: Someone to take care of you when you get sick or old.
Things have changed. The cost side is still the same but sometime in the 1900’s the reward side got changed. The government has taken over the job of taking care of the sick and elderly. You don’t need your kids to take personal care of you.
In fact you have to share the money your kids pay for your elder care with all the other old people in the country because the government takes money from their paychecks to pay for it.
You pay for the entire cost of raising the kids but you have to share their profits with others who don’t have kids. From a financial standpoint, it is a poor investment.
Econ 101: People are rational.
Actually, that IS the belief of the European intelligentsia. They bought big time into that white guilt AND the envirowacko idea of humans being some sort of virus on the planet.
