You mean the "natural decline" that is already happening.

Also what "upwards mobility" - Capitalism is hell bent in killing us all - the upwards mobility is not the solution here.

You mean the “natural decline” that is already haappening.

Correct (except for the spelling), users such as you, OP, and Elon Musk are advocating against that. You're part of a movement called pronatalism.

Also what “upwards mobility” - Capitalism is hell bent in killing us all - the upwards mobility is not the solution here.

I have used the word capitalism exactly 0 times in this discussion, so you have no reason to assume the methods of naturally reducing population has anything to do with it, stupid tankie.

I would be saddened if a serious leftist called me a tankie, because that would mean I didn't get my point across, but since you seem to be arguing from a right wing position I take it as a compliment.
