Most people think that there are too many people in the world. This is not true. For the ordinary person on the street it is a un-verifiable claim, usually believed in ‘because the authorities say so’ or ‘because I have heard everyone else say its true’. The facts of global declining birth rates tell a different story.
In this documentary, by Stephen J Shaw, you can get some of the facts that reveal the over-population myth to be false. There are social and economic causes for lack of children, and the sense that the world is not a good place to bring young people into. And this doesn’t even take into account the mass sterilization effect of the experimental COVID treatment (called a vaccination). And furthermore, this theory of population collapse doesn’t take account of the agenda for depopulation. If we add up all of the factors, I think we are likely to see a very different world in just a very few years time.

It really doesn’t take a big stretch of the imagination to figure out why birthrates are falling…
Gender Equality… Men and Women are not the same it’s time to stop trying to force them to be the same.

I just watched the video. Here are the most important points (in my opinion). Feel free to comment if you believe I missed something.
Some interesting points from the video:
1. there are shrinking populations everywhere in the world, except for Africa
2. the shrinking population is caused by more people remaining ***childless***. Families that have children, seem to be having the same number of children, and (almost) the same distribution in the number of children as decades ago.
3. even though our birth rates are declining or very low right now, the total population will still keep growing as people get older. This will create a completely unsustainable situation in a couple of years: more elderly people than ‘working’ people. The total population curve in function of time is thus not a good visual representation of the problem at hand.
4. there was no proposed solution to this problem of lowering birthrates, which will result in an unsustainable demographic distribution.
5. The problem is hard to stop, because even if birthrates would be reversed right now, we’re still looking at a period of about 20 years where the elderly population is larger than the working population.
6. The makers of the video also seem to imply that this situation –of a larger elderly population than working class– will result in an accelerated ‘collapse’ of the population. But it is not proven that this will be the case.
7. about 20% of childless women are childless by choice, or because of health reasons. This means that 80% of childless women are childless because of waiting too long, or other personal reasons. (I.e. they could have perfectly had children, if they had taken different decisions, or had more luck.)
I believe that the video was a bit negative. I do agree that this is a (very) pressing issue. But since not a single solution is proposed in the video, let me invite you to reason about the following more positive points:
a. It is not proven that society *will inevitably collapse* in the case of a larger elderly group than working class. (See point 6 above.) Perhaps the elderly group itself will collapse (die off), especially the ones without children. In my mind this would be a logical scenario in the case of pension collapse, or pensions being unable to provide a living.
b. In the video it is shown that the families that do have children, still have the same number of children as before. I believe this is very positive, as the people that -for whatever reason- do not have children now, will inevitably be ‘replaced’ by the ones that do.
On another very serious note, also think about the different ethnicities involved: here in Europe, people from European descent seem to be the ones reproducing the least, while the non-europeans coming from abroad seem to be doing better. You can convince yourself of this by looking at popular names for children in western European cities. Also take a look at the percentage of young children with a migration background, those percentages are surprisingly high.
If I can add my personal opinion on procreating: I believe it is one of the most important aspects of life to have children. It is only natural to want (consciously and instinctively) to create more life in this world, especially if you are grateful for your own life. Which I think almost anyone can be. Your parents and family have spent a large amount of time and energy to create and raise you. It is only natural to want to ‘pass’ this ‘energy’ -that you received for free, and unconditionally- on to the next generation. (Your children.)

I am impressed by your thorough analysis of the film. Yes, the message is inherently negative, because the measure of success of any living species, the degree to which it is thriving is reflected in the rate at which it makes increase — the birth rate. Its worth noting that the film doesn’t even take into account the increased death rate of those unthinking people who chose to take part in the recent experimental medical treatment for the alleged COVID pandemic. It also doesn’t take account of the known agenda of the parasite class to reduce the population by these means, and others.
I agree that population collapse is not proven, but it doesn’t have to be. There is no solution that can be applied, prescribed or mandated. The solution requires a completely different context — one in which humanity is able to flourish and thrive. I also kind of agree with your second point. Some people will always keep having children, and maybe those that don’t will be replaced by others that do. For a small unthinking minority procreation is just instinctive.
This minority aside, having children is mostly a considered choice. Consequently, in the current context, many people are consciously and implicitly deciding that conditions are not right to procreate — and they’re not, conditions are very far from being optimal to support human flourishment. Econonmic and political freedom are in serious decline! Its a bad time to have babies. I think this reason is underappreciated.
Also there is the bombardment of propaganda that tells people humans are the problem on planet earth, we are told there re too many of us. The pollution and the climate emergency are both blamed on people by their nature and by their presence, not by specific wrong and irrational human actions. Then add in the gender madness! How many screwed up individuals will end up being effectively infertile because they are the ‘wrong’ gender? Also there are so many health factors that are not considered. Hugely increasing rates of chronic disease, incorrect human diet, the long term effects of EMFs and accelerated ageing, etc. Plus the ongoing effects (deaths) of the jabbed covidiots, plus further increases in infertility from various chemical causes in our environment.
I think the main takeaway point is that there is no threat from over population. The threat is from under population.

100% agree.
