"Pronatilism" Debunked!
Some misguided people, today, who may call themselves "pronatalist", and who look at future predictions of negative population growth (meaning that population will decrease in the future, instead of continuing to increase), and see this as a problem, are wrong or are not thinking clearly. Some of them may believe that African and Arab and Asian populations are in the process of "replacing" or at least are overtaking the Caucasian, European-based ethnicities that have traditionally been the majority of the population in countries like the US, the UK, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; and they are right - this is indeed happening, as is the Hispanicization of the US population because of such massive immigration. And they are right to be concerned about this. In a century there may be no nations left on Earth where Caucasians of European ancestry are the majority of the population if immigration is not stopped. And this is a problem. There will be African majority countries, Asian majority countries, Arab majority countries, Hispanic majority countries, but there will not be any Caucasian of European ancestry majority countries left if we do not take action now. The answer, however is NOT to ask Caucasian of European ancestry peoples to engage in a population contest (or a population war) by having as many babies as possible (this is what the Jews and Israelis and the Arabs and the Islamic countries are doing, many quite publically like Erdogan's Turkey), as some of these pronatalist people are doing, rather it is to stop immigration, or at least make it two-way, so that for every Mexican or Nigerian allowed to immigrate to the US, for example, that one American must desire to emigrate to Mexico or Nigeria (using these two countries which have horrible overpopulation problems and which are trying to export their population as much as they can, as examples); we thus would have people effectively changing places or trading places - that can always be allowed (we would probably have to outlaw dual - or multi - nationality - one cannot serve two masters!), and it is all that should be allowed in the form of immigration at this point. The Africans, Arabs, Islamics and Asians may not like this and they may try to stop this, using big words like "racist", etc., but their race's control of nation states is not in jeapordy at all, while Caucasian of European ancestry peoples' control of their nation states is very much eroding and is seriously and presently at risk. Understanding this allows one to understand that it is the Africans, Arabs, Asians, Islamics or Hispanics' position that is racist.
The other reason why these "pronatalist" people desire continued population growth is economic and is due to current bad government and public policy, which is spending far too much money and incurring far too much debt (both economic and health-environmental debt). No administration and no generation is paying its own way - rather they are spending the money now irresponsibly and fraudulently leaving future generations of taxpayers to pay the bill. This is clearly taxation without representation. These people correctly understand that without continued population growth, the government cannot pay its debt or service it, and the government cannot pay for the pension plans and social security and retirement plans that it is currently guaranteeing. Furthermore these people know that the only way for there to be many continued easy opportunities to become rich in business or real estate is if population growth is continued. This, too, is faulty reasoning, since quality of life does not depend on becoming rich, but rather on a healthy environment which does not harm ones health; on freedom and liberty, on home ownership and land ownership, on great affordable health care, on healthy and inexpensive food, housing, energy, transportation, etc., and on a low population density. Imagine how nice it would be if the world's population were gradually reduced to 1 billion or even 100 million people. Housing would be dirt cheap, and everyone could be very well housed for less than one month's pay, probably. Food costs would decrease so far that all food production would be organic and dangerous chemicals and pesticides would not be used at all, and food would be so inexpensive. We could all have a very high-tech life with fantastic medical care and we could even continue to use fossil fuels on the few occasions when renewables weren't providing enough energy, and because the population base would be so small, the occasional use of non-renewables would not even cause global warming. Of course it would be super-easy to have sufficient renewable energy to cover all the planet's needs. We could preserve ice at the poles, possibly, if we stopped polluting this decade, and thus preserve the atmospheric and oceanic currents which provide rain for drinking water and for agriculture and sustenance and life to all the creatures on Earth. We could really have a paradise right here on Earth if only we could stop polluting (and this includes dangerous plastic use, which plastic deteriorates into micro and nano plastics which lodge in the human brain and cause us cognitive decline which probably leads to insanity), and stop over-populating. Thus these "pronatalsits" are very wrong, and their ideology is a very harmful one to us as well as to planet Earth and all species on the planet.
Overpopulation is the root cause of war, disease, famine, and extinction of species - and it must be stopped. Thus we also call on Judiasm and Islam to stop overpopulating the Earth with a "population war" - erroniously thinking that the more believers, the stronger the religion. The Old Testament's "Go forth and procreate" actually refers to all species multiplying their numbers on Earth. It was meant for a time when the Earth was sparsely populated. God would never say such a thing in this overpopulated age today! See We Must Use Our Reason To Survive .Faith for further understanding.
