Why would you even want to stop population decline? It's, like, actually very beneficial for the ones who then live in a less crowded world : |
It’s on their weird about page
“The crazy thing is, despite all this, people still want kids. The economy and social challenges—are the real culprits for the drop in birth rates, not a shift in attitudes. Countries with austerity measures, like the US, UK, Germany, Italy, and Greece, have lower birth rates than Denmark and France.”
It seems to me that they are using population decline to go after austerity and NIMBYs
But you have to admit that still is weird. I don't believe this is their primary goal, setting up a website and writing articles without a more clearly stated goal.
It’s weird, but everything is well researched, verified, and cited.
If you want I can give you the Reddit user who originally posted the site and you can ask him if he is David
Yeah I'll ask!
Here is the first link

Thanks
Long term, yes, great for the planet. But shorter term, a shrinking pool of working aged adults are going to have to care for a growing pool of elderly. Additionally, the overall economy is going to contact before the age cohort imbalance takes care of itself. Same thing is happening across most of the developed world, but it's happening faster in China, and they're less developed to start with.
Liberals believe in infinite growth, and for that to happen you also need infinite demographic growth to get an ever increasing work force and mass of consumers.
They are just a bunch of weirdos.
And conservatives don't?
Capitalism is built on infinite growth.
Get out of here with your political bullshit, especially when you don't even know what you're talking about.
They are referring to those who hold liberal market beliefs. Not liberal social beliefs. Also known as conservatives in the US.
The majority of liberals other than politicians want the population to stabilise or decrease slightly, so I'm not sure what you're even talking about.
