We don’t have to have kids. The nation isn’t entitled to it, certainly not boomers worried about the incredibly racist “replacement theory.” I say this as a father. My wife and I wanted kids, that was our decision for us and our family.
I understand this isn’t explicitly “replacement theory” but it dovetails with the concept so neatly that it inevitably comes up whenever I’m with extended family and I have to squash it immediately. Eugenics should never be mainstream or otherwise socially acceptable.
Yeah, actually having the coefficient of 1.4-1.7 is OK: look at France or Germany: they had these values for nearly 40 years and the population only increases
Stewart pretty much destroyed his career the first time. He went from being a pretty well-respected CNN talking head to a corporate shill with a primetime slot on FOX to now being a blatant autocratic toadie and billionaires lapdog on a failed social media network.
As someone who saw the episode of Crossfire when it aired, it’s been an interesting fall.
Even if A implies B in a classic logic sense, having A in mind doesn’t mean that one has B. If that wasn’t the case, no propaganda machine would work.
Furthermore, concern about population decline could come from a legit fear that there won’t be enough young people to fuel capitalism machine when one’s old , or that reproduction decline has a good correlation coefficient with upcoming wars.
On the off chance that you’re being sincere, you legitimately might be on the spectrum if you both fail to see and refuse to see the subtext here. Or perhaps you’re Dutch.
You’ve been downvoted, but I agree. I always assumed that the worry about a shrinking population was because there wouldn’t be enough meat for the capitalism grinder, but now that it’s been pointed out, I definitely can see the racist implications of it.
I understand this isn’t explicitly “replacement theory”
It’s just replacement theory but one step removed.
Population growth should never be a concern for a nation of immigrants. Oh no, our native citizens aren’t having enough kids to sustain macroeconomic equilibrium! Guess we better start letting some more fucking immigrants in. Why can’t we do that? Hmmm?

What they’re omitting but all implicitly understand among each other is white people aren’t having kids.
I can’t read other people’s thoughts, sorry
It wasn’t a dig I was just elaborating. Carlson et al really mainstream-ed replacement theory fears on the right over the last 5 or so years.
Carlson really needs to interview John Stewart again.
Already lost one show he’s not trying to risk his whole career

A big driver of that population increase is war and climate refugees.
