You had me until the xenophobic bullshit last sentence.
Actually, I started to suspect something was off when you began talking about declining birth rates since that's a common talking point amongst replacement theory believers and other racists, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt until you confirmed your bigotry at the end.
Yeah, that's kind of how agreeing and disagreeing works..
Nah, what I (correctly) pointed out was that one sentence was xenophobic. I didn't say that it was necessarily representative of you as a person or that it made me disagree with the things I agreed with before.
I said that I didn't like your comment anymore because it ended with a xenophobic sentence. There's nothing odd about that. Seems I'm not the fragile person who needs to grow up here.
We have enough rightwing dipshits already. Can confirm that we would not like you and rather take some based refugees who just want to live their lives.
The rightwing dipshits aren't the ones who would want to leave.
Every time they don't to get exactly what they want they always say they're going to leave.
Okay, the rightwing dipshits aren't the ones where there's actually a chance they'd leave.
Legitimate question: what is the concern with declining birth rate? Im no expert but it seems like the world currently has way more people than it ever had before and even in specific developed nations those nations were arguably doing just fine 50 years ago when they had lower populations too. What is the risk here?
A lot of economics is based on the idea that the population will keep growing. For example, pensions will fail if there are too many olds taking money out and not enough youngs paying into it.
If Americans with useful skills applied for citizenship they would absolutely get it.
I both want to get as many people out as possible and also see people stay and fix it. The problem is that fixing the US will take several years after it starts, and there's no way it starts until it totally collapses, IMHO... At least the way it's going.
Edit: Also, you know, fuck the border. Borders are fundamentally racist and stupid, so the whole concept of any person being illegal is just fucking dumb.
Thanks, we’re good, don’t need any more children nor natalist bs.
Oh no, we don't want you. Stay in America, fix your own shit.
Were you ironically trying to sound American?
Lololol, Trump goes BBBRRRRRR
