This Politico article looks at the declining birthrate in the West and finds every imaginable cause except the obvious - the elites in the West actively, purposely encouraged a population decline.

There was the Club of Rome study "Limits to Growth" and Paul Ehrlich's book "The Population Bomb" and the eites on both sides of the pond (and even both hemispheres of the globe) started an active program to reduce fertility. Then when it worked it's "gooooollllyy" in their best Gomer Pyle voice.

Ehrlich, for instance, prophecied that by the year 2000 we would be in Road Warrior conditions, with civilization in complete collapse.

All manner of tools were used to discourage population growth, from public education to inflation to the sexual revolution and the increasing crowding out of Christianity from public life. They broke the family and so many young people grew up with the pain of the loss of family and those children fear doing that to their own kids (my best friend was from a broken home and he resolved not to ever have children out of fear of doing that to his own children.) The sexual revolution went a long way to restricting fertility - why buy the cow when the milk is free? And especially why have children if you aren't married, and why get married if you get the benefits without the commitment? The rise of homosexuality and other "alternate" lifestyles too helped reduce fertility. (I remember reading an essay by the atheist s-f writer Isaac Asimov from back in the fifties or sixties -can't remember when exactly - calling for the mainstreaming of homosexuality as a tool to control population.) Inflation has made having children more difficult as it means everything costs more and to provide a decent life for your family you need a LOT more money, and to get that you have to have child care while you work yourself into an early grave. So the children get deferred and sacrificed altogether.

This was no confluence of unfortunate incidents. It was a carefully planned strategy by the people who run our Western civilization.

The Catholic Church used to oppose birth control and the dirty little secret is they still do. But they are quiet about it these days out of fear of being thought of as killjoys. For that matter they let young couples shack up and do not admonish them, even going so far as to let them do counseling and other such tasts for the Church, up to and including being Eucharistic Ministers.

And let us not forget feminism. The Women's Movement turned male/female relationships into battle grounds, and the women have largely won. What does that entail? It means the men lose all their testosterone and either become asexualized eunuch-like boyfriends or stop being involved with women on an emotional level at all. Oh, they'll have sex with women, but as long as it's a one and done proposition.

I find it quite interesting to note that men's testosterone levels have been falling like a stone for decades now. This is often blamed on weight and inactivity and bad diet, but one wonders if it isn't an evolutionary response to the masculinization of women? Or is it preservatives or other chemicals used in food these days? Certainly if a young boy is told being male makes him a dirtbag and he's going to be punished his whole life for that there would be an evolutionary reason to see a reduction in testosterone. Remember that some critters like certain frogs can change sex when their population gets too far out of balance (remember Jurassic Park?) and in biology there is a thing called neoteny, which is where unexpressed genes reassert themselves from environmental conditions. That is epigenetics. Now the boy isn't becoming a girl but he's becoming perhaps more girly and less masculine as being a man's man is not conducive to his overall well-being these days. The women, by comparison, are walking around and acting like men and we see this with our own eyes; women are now larger, stronger, and more aggressive than they had been in bygone days. In other words they are more like men. With all that competition around the genome probably thinks it needs to feminize.

Which is exactly why we are seeing more trans people these days. Oh, part of it is the relaxation of public opinion against it, but I rather suspect it's a coefficient of the feminism that has swept the West. Young boys are not just getting more girly, some of them are outright believing they ARE girls.

This dovetails nicely with the population control movement. Get men having sex with boys who look like girls so they cannot procreate. Men who wouldn't have sex with other men might be willing to have sex with men who look like women, and thus you accomplish what Asimov suggested more easily.

I would like to point out they have been pushing trans stuff for decades and few realized it. Remember "Some Like it Hot"? How about Dog Day Afternoon where Al Pacino is having a romantic relationship with a tranny? Our cultural elites have been pushing this for a long, long time. Is it any wonder we see it growing now?

Men and women are made by God to be complementary. Feminism has made them competitors. You don't have children with your enemy.

Climate Change alarmism and the other pieces of catastrophism promoted by the media is cited in the article and it certainly has it's blame in all this too. How many doomsday prophecies have we witnessed over the years? Author Michael Crichton wrote a whole book on the matter - State of Fear. As he rightly pointed out the public is kept in a constant state of fear to empower the rulers and keep the public too busy with fantom fears to actually stop them from pushing their agenda.

So in conclusion we can talk about fatter people and young people who are too lazy to marry and have children, but it all goes back to a culture that has pushed them in that direction, and that culture was guided by the Club of Rome and other very wealthy Leftists (now the World Economic Forum) and what they sought worked beautifully. We are now facing a catastrophe' as we can't pay for our pyramid-scheme programs, and their answer is to bring in people from the Third World who never got the no children memo.

Our elites have led us to the suicide pit. And we're jumping right in!

BTW they are still hard at work in pushing for a drastic reduction in the world's population.
