“Once the minority population exceeds the white population, uh-oh........... Nobody left to pay da bills.”

It’s called “Survival of the Unfit”

Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution (often referred to as The Theory of Survival of the Fittest) describes the positive effects resulting from any “pressure” on an animal species that removes the least fit among the species and allows only the most fit of the species to reproduce. Many of us are well aware of this “Survival of the Fittest” theory, but few are aware that Darwin also makes mention of the negative effects resulting from unlimited reproduction of a species’ least fit when the weak, the lazy, and the stupid are left unchecked.

We like to think otherwise, but our species, Homo sapiens, isn’t that long “out of the trees” and the same laws of nature that affect all of God’s creatures apply equally to us. If we were to observe any other species that had been allowed to reproduce without limitations, we would know immediately what the consequences will be.

Whenever the weak; lazy; and stupid of a species are allowed to reproduce unimpeded by predators that feed off the weak; lazy; and stupid, they soon outnumber the strong, productive, and intelligent. When the weak/lazy/stupid dominate the gene pool, the entire population becomes weak/ lazy/stupid, and then the population collapses.

In the past, when these collapses occurred within human populations, they have been referred to as a “Malthusian Collapse.” Thomas Malthus, a Nineteenth Century Economist, thought these collapses were caused simply because past civilizations had reached a point where human populations could no longer produce sufficient food supplies to feed themselves, but he never pinned down the exact reason for the food shortages.

We now think these collapses of past human civilizations have occurred whenever the unproductive weak/lazy/stupid greatly outnumber the strong/productive/intelligent of the population. In other words, the majority of the population becomes too lazy to perform the work necessary to provide for themselves and what’s left of the strong/productive/intelligent refuses to continue to do it for them.

These collapses have occurred at frequent intervals throughout human history, and Western Civilization is, in my humble opinion, currently on the cusp of one of these collapses.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as ‘bad luck’.” - Robert Heinlein

I seriously doubt your theory about Malthusian collapses of the past. They did indeed occur, most notably probably in the recurrent “Changes of the Mandate of Heaven” in China.

But there simply was no past society in which the weak/lazy/stupid were kept alive to reproduce in the way they are today in western societies. Even at the peak of population in China before a dynasty collapsed, the weak/lazy/stupid were not supported by others. They just died.

The dysgenic policies of modern societies are a completely new thing.

I think Malthus had it exactly right. Without modern technology and drops in birth rates, populations grew at a geometric rate whereas food production could only increase at an arithmetical rate. A eventually exceeded B, famine ensued and the population crashed.

One of the classic examples is Ireland before the Famine. I don’t think there’s much evidence the Irish population was largely composed of the weak/lazy/stupid, or that productive members of society had been supporting them.
