Quote from: DGuller on September 14, 2025, 01:57:44 AMI've been saying for many years that cancel culture can work both ways, and has historically sometimes been applied against the left. That's why it helps to view things with some principles, rather than a quick glance of who gets shafted today.

Quote from: Norgy on September 14, 2025, 03:23:38 PMThe "population decline" has been a theme for well over 100 years. Add some eugenics to it, too.
The fear of not having enough manpower for war was quite clear in France before WWI.
We have these "Great replacement" people, of course, but declining birth rates are not a bad thing, when we spend most resources on Earth before April each year.
Quote from: Tamas on September 14, 2025, 03:15:13 PMI still don't understand why I am supposed to be worried about this when for most of my life I was supposed to be worried about overpopulation. Either the decline forecast is inaccurate because the overpopulation one is still valid, or if the latter is indeed now invalid, then confidence in the population decline one can't be high at all considering how the overpopulation one ended up being bogus.On a purely parochial level in the UK I think there is an issue but it's primarily that old people vote (which intersects with other factors like home-ownership). So turnout is about 35% higher among the over 65s than 18-24 year olds, and also between outright homeowners than private and social renters (and those groups overlap more or less 100%).
