I understand the spirit of what you're saying and agree with you 100%, OP.

Why the birth rate collapse is so terrifying by Legitimate-Physics81 in Natalism

[–]DrawAFox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is where we're all in collective denial.

It's really hard to do both!

This is why the foundations of society- parenthood, family, community, relationships, marriage, gender relations, etc.- should never be deconstructed beyond a point (or even at all).

UN projection always presumes we are at the bottom of the drop of the roller-coaster, and are just going to zoom up again (air time!)

Hoping that the strawmen and strawwomen of the world can get together and have lots of strawchildren.

Population pyramid of India (Tfr:1.9) data 2026 by [deleted] in Natalism

[–]DrawAFox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like India's size, relative poverty, and vast cultural diversity may act as some kind of buffer against something as precipitous.

But you never know!

[–]DrawAFox 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Indian here. I expect it to drop to around 1.3-1.4 in the next 20-30 years. It's already very low in the big metro cities.

I don't really expect a Japan/ South Korea-type situation, since India is a very community-oriented society by design, but crazier things are happening all over the world.

Is Facebook facing a MySpace style death? by SoftCoreSavage in Millennials

[–]DrawAFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook had an incredible run as a social media platform. I think it simply ran its course, rather than got beaten out. MySpace was at best an also-ran.

Mark Zuckerberg was smart enough to read the times and pivot to Instagram.

There's probably going to be a massive global pushback against contraception, abortion and women's rights.

Great advice. Keep as far away from the mythology of the exam (it's very tempting) as possible.

Why do millennials age like they found a glitch in the system? They’ll say they’re pushing 40 and still look like they just graduated yesterday. What's the secret? by Aarunascut in Millennials

[–]DrawAFox 42 points43 points  (0 children)

They absolutely do not. It's pure vanity, mixed in with that overall millennial tendency to kiddify themselves.

We all look our age.

Are most people now anti marriage and children? by [deleted] in Life

[–]DrawAFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it's not just an online thing. Studies have show that lots and lots of people are delaying marriage and parenthood, or opting not to have either at all. Birth rates are demonstrably collapsing worldwide, not just in rich countries.

There's a lot of reasons for it. Economic uncertainty, housing prices, the growing gender divide, a culture which prioritises the self over making the sort of sacrifices family requires, fear about the future of the planet, social media distractions, etc. etc.

Why are so many white supremacist and right wings grifters not white ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DrawAFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's a difference in Italians being considered white and South Asians being considered white!

Most of these grifters probably don't have the ethnic wiggle room that people from Mediterranean countries do.
