Claim: There is an underpopulation crisis.
I don’t have the data to back it up, and I don’t feel like fishing it up. Rather, I want to examine the logic behind the claim that we need to forever grow our population.
The basic logic is this: as technology becomes exponentially more advanced, higher specialization will be required in job fields. These specializations will become increasingly more difficult to achieve as technology advances. Therefore, we need to continuously grow the population as a smaller and smaller percentage of people will be able to complete the necessary specializations to keep up with technological advancements.
I got this idea from a “conspiracy” site who presented the idea of an underpopulation crisis. Apparently, the Deep State is trying to depopulate the world for eugenics purposes and are pushing the overpopulation fear. But that’s not what this thread is about. I want to examine the logic of the previous paragraph. The news site I got the info from put up the logic as a tangent.
This statement is not about the world population. It is really about the population in first world and developed countries. Lowering population was a paranoia from the Left, since at least the 1960's. The fear was too many people will deplete the earth, leading to the sky falling. But we have added billions and the earth is still here. Science and technology have ways of meeting need.
This over population paranoia led to the push to encourage more versions of human behavior that does not breed. First there was abortion, then Gay and Lesbian, and now self sterilization through the transgender scam. Abortion in the USA alone, accounts for 63,000,000 fewer people in America, since Roe v Way. The problem is, although their paranoia was for world wide, only the developed countries acted, while third and fourth world countries continued to breed.
The net effect is since the last generation of normalcy; 1960's, there are not enough worker to support that aging population; Social Security type programs, unless extra burdens are placed on the the limited number of young people. This has a drag on opportunity. The Lefty solution to that problem is just another problem; illegal immigration. These are mostly people from high breeding countries, that are looking for opportunities, but often come from weak educational and logistical infrastructure, so this extra population does not easily meet the need of the more educated and skilled labor needed by the evolving tech sector of the first world countries.
What has compounded the problem is the Left bonehead idea of diversity training in education, which essentially causes immigrants to take pride in their third world practices, instead of being told to assimilate to the first world melting pot. Many become stuck in city enclaves and lack all the options and opportunities to become more advanced, if had been trained to assimilate. Just being able to speak English, rather than given the option to retain their native tough, would have opened more doors. Many stay as huddled masses with low opportunity.
This is being done for political reasons. Keeping people in poverty and even stuck in ethnic group enclaves, is a way to grow government, since assimilation and the added potential for advancement, toward the American dream, makes one too self sufficient. The Left prefers they stay on the welfare system to be exploited by the left for quid pro quo voting. They push the idea of socialism, in the hopes of making a full welfare state that they can lord over, even citizens who will give up self reliant opportunities. In am not sure, if that was the end game, since the math adds that way.
Trump and the RNC are trying to reverse this trend. For example, only legal immigration gives the country more control over who comes in and thereby allows the country to pick what it needs, such as more skilled and self sufficient people. This can reduce the liability needed fill the DNC rank and file welfare state for exploitation. Sending Roe v Way back to the States allow states more control over the first world population decline but still allows women the option. Democrat state can decline if they so choose, but not drag everyone down. This should shift percentages to the plus in terms of first world population growth. They are also pushing against brain washing children I schools to self sterilize and be a lifetime slave to medications, that are not necessary in terms of base physical health, allowing population growth.
