China’s ‘Last Generation’: 85% Not Marrying, 60% Not Procreating

Nobody needs the US, you confused Croatia for Kosovo.

And don't cry. You know well US is exporting cultural marxism and woke ideology to Europe and at same time destroying your own society. US is a country of immigrants and trying to force that model to Europe will completely destroy it once for all. Eastern Europe (ex-warsaw pact states + ex-yugo states) is lagging behind due to socialism.

Europe needs to get rid of any US influence as quick as possible.

Europeans spacegoat USA too much. Europe is same as US, it just has less military and media power. Parts of Europe like Sweden are arguably more woke than USA on topics like freedom of speech.

Here's a short Danish comedy video making fun of Swedish political correctness: https://youtu.be/5zkuhU61x4Y?si=S9leijQZpJrpH82C

France does not allow commercial DNA tests like 23andme because it goes against their idea of Frenchness: according to french constitution, you're French if you have French citizenship, they don't even record ethnic statistics for the same reason. They don't believe an ethnicity is based on common ancestry/DNA...

That's great, the same should be applied to India.

India's fertility rate dropped a lot in last couple of decades, now they are below replacement level and it will drop further. Try Subsaharan Africa...

On Monday, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed an “anti-riot bill” into law that, among other things, grants civil immunity to people who decide to drive their cars into protesters who are blocking a road. (EDIT: I think this anti-riot bill was blocked by a federal judge)

Then there are the abortion bans from 2022.

Such un-woke things are totally unthinkable in Europe.

Europe was a sh*thole before colonialism.. wym? No offense, but many Eastern European countries are still sh*tholes and the only reason they are not considered ‘third-world’ is because they are in Europe. It’s a social construct.

I agree with the last part though. No country ‘needs’ foreigners to thrive, that’s just ridiculous.

By year 1500 (so before colonization started), Western Europe - including Scandinavia - had higher wealth per capita than any other place in the world.

Lots of things happening the last few years. States making it easy to carry guns for one. The world is never static, maybe just maybe the US is swinging back to normal.

I haven't been to eastern Europe but have been to Russia. There are places that are shitholes but you know what I have gone to places in the US and said damn this place a shithole. lol

Every country has them.

The epitome of "let it rot".

Copium for redditor and CNN viewer Westerners. The exact same type of young people exist in the west too, they're called NEET: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEET

Serpentza and laowhy create interesting content often but I don't really like them. They're obsessed with pointing out flaws of Chinese society, West has its issues but they don't mention them. It almost feels like they're propagandists who want to say "everything in China is bad, everything in West is good".

Which will be a better place to live by the end of this century? The West or China? and by the end of the next century? I'm not sure if it's the west...

As for fertility, if you compare native European fertility to Chinese fertility rate, there's not much difference. Spain and Italy have the same fertility rate as China despite Italy/Spain having much higher % of immigrants, go figure...

I've been from Asia to Europe and points in between and find people are much the same everywhere. Pride is the downfall of man, when people start thinking they or their country is better is when problems start.

There is a big difference between Poland and Russia for example, and between Moscow and some village in Siberia as well.

Yes if I had the money I'd love to visit them. I like rural areas, some people may think some small village a dump but I like them. I grew up very poor so maybe that's the reason I never think I'm better than someone.
