Humans are reproducing like rats. There are already 8 BILLION of us and soon there'll be another 4 BILLION on top of that.
You need to be totally BATSHIT crazy to believe there's a "fertility crisis" 😀😀😀
Birthrates are dropping in developed nations. They've been low in Europe for years, and America fell behind replacement levels. Personally I think this is a direct response to wealth gaps, living costs, medical costs (at least in the US) and low wages. All of these things are a direct result of capitalism and centralization of wealth and power. So the actual solution is to redistribute wealth, tax the rich, and focus on social programs. But that would be anticapitalist, so instead we invent a fertility crisis.
There is no shortage of people.
Fertility is way too high.
That's just eco-fasc talking points. We've got plenty of room and are now making plenty of food for everyone.
Distribution is the challenge we face now. Our current economic systems require scarcity to maximize profit. And drive distribution.
This is en exceedingly excellent problem to have: How to get resources where they need to be, rather than how to get resources.
That being said, I chose not to have kids because of a lot of reasons in the above poster's comments.
It's a personal choice though not some fear of too many or not enough people.
What they actually mean is that people with the wrong ethnicity or nationality are breeding and not the ones they'd like.
I think it's more about not producing enough consumers to prop up our infinitely growing economy.
12 Billion consumers is enough.
They are out of their minds.
