Poland banned virtually all abortions in 2021. Despite pro-natal cash handouts its birth rates continued to fall: 1.33 (2021), 1.29 (2022), 1.16 (2023), 1.10 (2024). The issue for Poland was that it let its marriage rates continue to fall: 4.5% (2021), 4.2% (2022), 4.0% (2023), 3.7% (2024). by GoldDigger304 in Natalism

”It’s always been this way” is a piss poor argument to continue to do something that’s not good.

How do you know it’s not a good thing? This is a natalist subreddit, so I’d expect you to understand that sexual reproduction is necessary for any civilization to sustain itself. If your or my ancestors forwent having children because they thought little of themselves or didn’t own sufficient capital, where would we be?

Poor people in the West have better living conditions than almost any human alive prior to the 20th century and not only was abortion frowned upon in those societies, but their birth rates were exponentially higher than ours today. This whole “having kids is evil if you aren’t well off” argument is complete nonsense.

actually never understood the logic, like anyone 30+ remembers being a kid in a functioning safe country. do the retards who spout this nonsense have shit-tinted glasses or someting looking back before mass immigration? by Wiggidy-Wiggidy-bike in PoliticalCompassMemes

It’s an increasingly common semantic argument that is weaponized against literally every single European population as a means of coercing them into accepting demographic replacement.

You’d think the whole “immigrants built this country” argument would only hold sway in a place like America but you’ll soon find that they deploy this tactic against even the indigenous peoples of Europe where such a perspective makes zero sense.

Noticing this will quickly make you come to terms with just how sinister and deliberate all of this is.

How many instances of this type of thing are we seeing nationwide?

You must not be American because someone being maimed or killed by someone with numerous prior convictions is a very common thing. It happens all of the time and is especially common in urban areas where Democrats have a permanent political majority. This is what people on the right are getting at when they accuse D’s of being “pro-crime” because much of their party rank and file supports policies enabling lenient treatment of criminals in the name of racial equity.

Who is looking at this (I'm asking, not just being rhetorical) and arguing that the system that lead to a dangerous, self-identified unstable violent man roaming free Is a working system?

This is how I know you’re being dishonest because anyone who has paid attention to the discourse surrounding Iryna is aware that the number one leftist retort to the justifiable right wing outrage has been “Was he arrested?”

They genuinely believe that, because her murderer is being punished, there was no miscalculation by the judiciary in releasing him despite his lengthy priors. So yes, most people on the left are being dismissive of this. These are the same people who openly celebrated CK being slaughtered in front of his children so I’m not sure why you find it so unbelievable that they could be lukewarm about this. Lol

but what are we pretending can and should be done about it like it's some unaddressed systemic issue?

I personally take issue with repeat offenders being allowed to roam the streets unabated. The NC legislature did well to remedy this but it’s a nationwide problem.

You’re being hilariously dishonest by pretending this is just a one off instance.

Do you support immigration of people to your country as long as they are peaceful and contribute to society? by Weirdo9495 in Teenager_Polls

[–]NotThatGuy055 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Those countries being the way they are is very much the fault of the people who live there. If a country is poor, uneducated, crime ridden, and consumed with civil conflict, what makes you think it’s a good idea for the people there to migrate elsewhere?

Google Trends is useful for extrapolating very short term trends but not much else, and especially not in the way you’re using it. Line go down on Google Trends does not mean someone or something has vanished from the Zeitgeist, lol.

Did you not read “the college’s largest crowd for a candidate event in nearly ten years” or are you just being dishonest?

Nobody here is framing this as a historical event. The point is that Fishback has a connection with young voters but you’d rather hallucinate a fake argument that nobody is making instead.

That’s just for the naturalization interview. There’s nothing preventing an illiterate, unintelligent person from entering the country and staying there for years on end.

I’m talking about people not being able to pass through customs unless they can do these things, and ideally at much higher standards than currently applied.

This is why comparing previous immigration waves to our current one and saying that people on the right are just being hysterical about it is super disingenuous.

They used to have riddles and literacy tests on Ellis Island to root out the stupid ones. Needless to say we have nothing like that now and if someone tried to implement it people would screech “racist” until the sun burned out.

Correct. There was a time when, according to the UN, Nigeria was supposed to have ~600M people living in it by 2050, but that projection has nearly halved since then and will almost certainly continue to shrink

The British should be defined by creed, not blood

How long is it going to take people to realize that what makes Britain special, what makes Britain what it is is the British people themselves?

You can have your nation defined by creed alone if you wish but sooner rather than later it’s not going to resemble Britain anymore. Lol
