The war will come sooner than that IMO. Putin is old and wants to restore the Soviet empire before he dies, and Trump will help.

I present a DEFINITELY more sane way https://bsky.app/profile/leftliblucy.bsky.social/post/3lmnxfyuc7s27

There is not a declining birth rate. There is a browning of the population and since these asshats think white dna is superior that is an issue to them. There I no coincidence that we are deporting brown people while we import white once (Canada/ S Africa) and now through birth so they can have 1/

Wider population of white dna to experiment with. It’s gross

There *is* a declining birth rate in the country across all populations. Immigration can and is helping to alleviate this in the medium-term but of course these far-right extremists hate that because of said “browning” of the population.

attikusfinch.bsky.social•9 days ago

Pardon there is NOT a declining POPULATION overall. There is a declining white population in the US which is the issue for Nazi eugenic pronatalists like Musk. He focusing on birth rates because he wants to whiten the population along with deporting POC

There’s a declining white *percentage* of the population (the white population like the U.S. population as a whole is still growing). The birth rate for all races sans immigration is slowing and declining. Everything you said about Musk is true. Just want to make the distinctions clear.

attikusfinch.bsky.social•9 days ago

Okay but I’m distinguishing between “birth rate” and “population size”. See link below. It’s not an issue unless you care how many people are white.

(To be even more specific, it’s *non-Hispanic* Whites whose percentage is decreasing. The white percentage as a whole actually increased from 2010 to 2020 but I imagine Musk and other white nationalists don’t want to count that for obvious reasons).

No coincidence that the most prominent example of a "sane, rational" self-described pro-natalist is Lyman Stone, a zealot who is on record saying he's rather perish in nuclear war than share the earth with communist states. Helluva pitch for "having kids as an ideology", fucko.

staciajones.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah I saw the recent article where Stone was called "uncontroversial" and about fell over, just an incredibly incorrect thing to say

atherton.bsky.social•9 days ago

Without being part of his weird clique, you can just say "people who want to parent should be supported in doing so, and people who don't should be supported in that, & kids deserve care," and then you can just be normal about something as ideologically dull as choosing to have and raise children.

Stone floods the zone with very anodyne takes, so his wild stuff gets overlooked sometimes
