That's it.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Ok, so if the entire world turns into a dictatorship, with no free countries. Seriously, who will even want to live in it? How long until the population just de-pops itself?
We're already there?
I am 31 years old. A lot of my friends aren't chasing partners, yet those who do don't really want to make babies due to the long array of problems affecting quality of life.
I'm not exactly a baby-maker myself. I am quite anti-natalist as a matter of fact.
Historically, people have made babies under much more dire circumstances and some of them made it through so we're here today. I don't feel like having kids either, I know, but I think this sentiment comes from a luxurious position.
Historically, people didn't have easy access to multiple forms of birth control.
But then they've already started working on that: Dobbs, period policing, "NO CONDOMS FOR GAZA!!!"
I guess we just need to switch to sodomy
Despite dire circumstances those people might have had hope for the future
My mother was born in a basement during the bombardments of Dresden while the house above them was burning. Her mother had barely made it out of the second floor with burning phosphorus running down the walls. At this point, my grandparents had been on the road for quite a while, narrowly escaping the Russian front, starting with leaving behind every single thing they owned at their farm estate in Silesia. They had nothing but their clothes on their back and they already experienced, that nobody wanted anything to do with the refugees from the east.
My inconveniences are mild, compared to that. They are significant for me, but historically, we're still at an all time high compared to our ancestors, unless you have old money in your bloodline.
If they had to leave everything behind then probably also condoms - good for you! 😅
Have you not noticed that tons of people are choosing not to have children now?
Now? That shit has been going on since the 90s. My native population has plateaued since 1990. The only reason the population grew was due to immigrants.
Same goes for America where a LOT of the populations got fewer and fewer kids since the 90s.
White, Christian nationalists are still having children.
They are an incredibly small group in Europe most people that can have children are not religious in the UK.
Gotta fill that quiver.
Oh well
What people want will have little to do with it, unfortunately. The "hope" is that contraception bans combined with misleading/nonexistent sex ed will maintain a population.
After they destroyed any sense of community? Pushing individualism might be what has led to this
Aside from the economy, the EU is pretty ok tbh...so "the whole world" is a bit of a stretch.
Central and South America as well. Canada can be fine
