    QUOTE=Tooting Carmen;7263874]Depending on how well a country is governed, being populous can also be a source of power, as the US has already proven and China and to an extent India will most likely prove soon. As for population decline, ask the Russians how that is going for them.
    Ok so let them breed like cockroaches and watch them become really powerful, and developed, and rich...so much that they will not send more mass immigration to Europe.

    Get real.

    Even African-Americans often complain about either being overlooked altogether for English teaching jobs compared to their White American counterparts in many Asian and MENA countries, or even when they do get to teach they find the students tend to be a lot less receptive. (Let us not get into how immigrants from actual Caribbean and African nations are treated).
    Perhaps that way they can appreciate how good life is for them in white countries and stop bitching about white racism.

    As for countries in the Americas, even today there are still people who fantasise about whitening (or de-blackening/de-browning) their nations, as can be seen not least on this very forum.

    And there are millions of whites who fantasize and actually make it a reality turning their nations as multicultural and less white as possible...and that is a fact.

    I disagree with all of them. They're just too stark. Give more opportunities to the poor so that they can go wherever their character and competence take them. Don't punish the rich for their success.

    Blacks aren't demonized in the USA like Whites are in CRT, and there's systemic racism here too. It's called Affirmative Action. We should not restrict the legal pursuit of pleasure among men *or* women, but legality is not the same as morality. We shouldn't promote licentiousness.

    1. I agree somewhat. I don't think the wealth disparity between countries is a problem. I do think there are a very few individuals (think Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros) who are "too rich." But I also think it is within their rights to be rich. I don't care so much that they are rich as I do that they use their riches to the detriment of the rest of us. I've never been far enough left to countenance things such as a wealth tax or wealth caps, but the increasing influence of supranational corporations and "global citizens" is moving me in that direction. Plutocracy is a thing.

    2. I thoroughly disagree. Blacks are not treated poorly in today's day and age, at least in my country. And whites are very arguably beginning to be treated poorly. Are whites to a certain degree admired and coveted? Yes, but that is the result of European wealth and advancement. It cannot (nor really should) be helped.

    3. Basically agree. Sexuality period is completely unfettered today. That is obviously bad for everyone. Women have had their best bargaining chip rendered useless by the anti-marriage crowd. Men have been reduced to their sexual organs because neither they nor society is willing to keep their libidos in check. Sex and all that accompanies it belongs within marriage. That is key for a well-functioning society.

    Get real.
    Birth rates are collapsing all over the world, even in countries where you really wouldn't expect it: Iran, Saudi Arabia, many states in India. Like I said it is a red herring argument.

    Perhaps that way they can appreciate how good life is for them in white countries and stop bitching about white racism.
    Yes it is indeed quite likely nowadays that anti-Blackness is even worse in much of the Global South than in the West, and perhaps was in the past too.

    And there are millions of whites who fantasize and actually make it a reality turning their nations as multicultural and less white as possible...and that is a fact.
    Silly leftists and silly rightists complement each other - both are essentially utopian and blinkered.

    Even with birth rates "plummeting" the world population is projected to exceed 10 billion, possibly hitting 11 billion by 2100. Overpopulation is a massive issue and it'll all be coming from SSA and Asia.

    Anyway, I agree with 3, that's it.

    Throughout the West and even increasingly the developing world, the populations are ageing rapidly, so insofar as there is a viable but inhumane solution at all, it would be a mass euthanasia programme.

    Anyway, here is an article which shows what I mean by statement (1): the amount of money at top-level football is obscene and corrupting. https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...osing-it-again

    Surely sterilization is infinitely preferable to euthanasia.

    My point is though is that the issue is increasingly one of too many elderly people, rather than too many children.

    1) I don't think economic inequality is bad, poverty is bad.
    2) More or less, although it is not the fault of the "whites"
    3) I do not agree
