      Sure gave me a lot to think about there, very nuanced and thoughtful response.

          Ah, so that’s what it is. You saw someone bad screaming about problems with population demographics and have been programmed to scream and rage whenever you see someone actually talking about a real issue, that’s a real good way to become stupid.

          This has nothing to do with ethnicity, this is logistics, countries that are simultaneously not opening borders for immigration AND not doing more to support family growth are going to experience economic collapse, which will have catastrophic effects on distribution networks.

          You still with me?

          Rapid population collapse hurts more people than the harmful effects of overpopulation, and modern trends are showing a global decline in birth rates, with some nations like South Korea are going to be completely insolvable within a couple generations and cities will be abandoned.

          SK is the worst case, but this is widescale and largely a product of capitalist influence and authoritarianism making people not want to have relationships and family, along with the toxic social effects of the internet.

          You want me to shove data up my ass too?

          Don’t let fuckers like Elon Musk hijack issues that actually matter and have control over how you feel about what you see. Why would you give someone like that so much power over how you feel?

          You can’t say you hate what happened with USAID and ignore the effects on logistics from industrial nations becoming unable to produce. This is about capitalism crushing our hope for a future and making people not want to have lives and futures.

              Okay so you’re too emotional to read or understand things that you would otherwise agree with, can’t backtrack on reactions, right?

                I understand that your point is reactionary institutional bullshit, regardless of how you try to spin it. It’s a racist conspiracy theory for people worried about losing their social status and entitlement. You’re blowing a dog whistle. Fuck off with this.

                  I am citing an issue with xenophobic capitalism, and you won’t even get past your own breathless reactionary impulses to consider that this is an issue that will become a bigger and bigger issue, unless you think the current crisis in South Korea and Japan are conspiracy theories.
