'Remarkable' decline in fertility rates

There has been a remarkable global decline in the number of children women are having, say researchers.

Their report found fertility rate falls meant nearly half of countries were now facing a "baby bust" - meaning there are insufficient children to maintain their population size.

The researchers said the findings were a "huge surprise".

And there would be profound consequences for societies with "more grandparents than grandchildren".

    The technical term for it is "White Genocide Conspiracy Theory". It's totally bizarre stuff, basically the early-1900s eugenics nonsense updated for the current century. I never thought I'd encounter that one again, but it really seems to have bounced back from the dead in the last five years or so.

    There are a lot of people pushing for eugenics on environmentalist subs over on reddit. It seems to be a growing trend.

    Oh sure, "totally bizarre". As the propaganda networks globally brainwash all non whites (people of color) to ally and blame everything on whitey while sending NGO boats to bring in more rabid non whites, all while brainwashing naive whites into blaming themselves and teaching them to suck up to any non white for their "white privilege". Even the name Aryan is taught in US schools as a race made up by delusional nazis and just using the name of your (fictitious, evidently) race automatically makes you a thought criminal and "hater". Are you fucking blind?
