Yeah, Africa has the most extreme fertility.  Probably due to lack of protection and the BBC lol.

 

Middle East seems to be due to religion?  

 

Probably yes.

 

And this is also a political project in some countries (like Turkey or Algeria). The population size is seen as a geopolitical tool there.

99% of the Gen Z's "intersectional feminists" are exactly like this:

I mean memes like this only make me think of this:

 

It would be interesting to see an objective analysis on how feminism lowers fertility rates.  It would be complicated as it would intersect with a lot of other big factors.

I heard Witcher : Blood origin is bad.  

 

I haven't even bothered to download it due to the trailer.

Russia increased the size of their armed forces to 1.5 million men, more than half a million men more than in 2021.   Their 2023 defense budget has tripled from peacetime levels to 9% of GDP and is 50% more than 2022.  This would make their military spending surpass that of China and be the no.2 highest in the world.

 

The focus is on reforming and enlarging their ground forces rather than the other arms.

 

They activated 17 ground divisions, including 5 entirely new ones.  The other 14 are an expansion of their entire Airborne and marine corps, turning all brigades into divisions which have 3 times more combatants.

 

Their ground force is now approx. twice the size as it was in 2021.  In 2023 they plan to run large scale exercises "West 2023" where they prepare defensive operations against NATO.

 

250,000 Russian and allied troops served in Ukraine in 2022 with around 100,000 casualties (25,000-20,000 killed)

 

Approx. 300,000 Russian and allied troops currently are operating in Ukraine vs. 900,000 Ukrainian troops.

 

 Russian economy and military are rapidly transitioning back to the Soviet large scale warfare army with 3 million men.    

 

WW3 is just around the corner now..

Another remarkable development is the situation around Bakhmut.  The Russian PMC Wagner has turned into a penal army.  It was originally a small, special forces force.  The Pentagon has claimed that it is composed of 50,000 men (40,000 convicts and 10,000 contractors).

 

This light infantry penal army is occupying the attention of a dozen Ukrainian brigades.  I think this gives an indication on how ill-prepared NATO/Ukraine and Russia have been for large scale warfare.  The forces on both sides are so exhausted that the 'best' of the Ukrainians is struggling against Russian convicts with 3-weeks of training.   At the same time, most of the Russian regular army is in Belarus/Russia scrambling to train 400,000 men and Russia has been running an economy of force operation since burning out in July.  They have lost more ground than they gained since the summer.

Yep, this one is funny too (though it has nothing to do with what I posted )

 

It reminds me of people who want society to progress in biology (while some people argue for the existence of 57 genders). And this reminds me of this meme

I don't know if there's a serious study showing the impact of different variables on fertility, but I'm pretty sure that feminism is one of the prime factors decreasing fertility. That's why Malthusianist/catastrophist magnates (like Schwab or Soros) love feminism.

The entire feminist mindset is deeply anti-fertility and remarkably shallow in certain aspects.

 

Consider 'average' men to be at the level of a sub-human, good only for work, conversation, entertainment, and some other practical use.

Only award the top 10-1% of men in looks/wealth full personhood.

Devalue family/motherhood over independence and financial goals, use up all of the 20s for 'career'.  Treat women who don't have a career or make babies before the age of 28 as some kind of loser.

Delay childbirth until the final years.  This is combined with a high overvaluation of one's attractiveness and an inflated sense of entitlement.

 

All of this is a recipe for lower fertility, higher separation rates.

I agree! You summed it all up.

How long till Europe becomes Muslim majority?

 

It's sad cause it survived both World Wars and countless other stuff only to be destroyed from within.

Large parts of Europe have been under Muslim control in the past. Google Al-Andalus, for just one example. So if it happens again, it's hardly something new for the continent.

Also with Muslims they do a lot of arranged marriages at an early age.  Even in the US I have noticed this among my friends. One high school friend was already married by age 23.

Hate.when people are obsessed to eat, in food, trting put you bigger too, when your aesthetics are diferent. A lot of women only want to be your women when you are ugly and big, I hate it!

 

When I see this, it seems clear that the world hasn't understood the lessons of the 20th century.

 

Der Spiegel (which always were left leaning) promotes Marxism now... This ideology that has killed hundred million people. They talk about the environment, but communism has destroyed the environment way more than market economy has. Way more.

 

One can argue for reasonable environmental regulations, but marxism/communism is never a good solution. Never. It's a dangerous utopia/dystopia to believe in this perpetually losing strategy

What a mediocre world. And it's truly anti-women, because not only do these women have to deal with hidden pervs, but they also can't defend themselves.

 

I love Titania's thread.

 

This CRT is everywhere.... For those who don't know, CRT is a theory made by cognitively deficient journalists and writers who claim "everything is reeecist" and some simpletons believe them

 

 

^ I don't know who's dumber: the journalists who make up this CRT nonsense or the bovine readers who believe them...

 

The average believer in CRT and wokeness:

Can you define Critical Race Theory for me?
