Common theme with East Asia is the "population will shrink until society collapses"

Also I see this with the UK and Europe too, sometimes Canada. Always stuff like "something bad is gonna happen" with an image of stuff burning, as implying civil war because of reasons(?) 🤔

Seems kinda clickbaity

I see this on Youtube, Reddit, news, the internet in general.

The population of Earth has doubled in my lifetime. Population growth is only slowing if you exclude brown people and focus on countries that 1)are wealthy and 2) don't allow immigration. These 'demographic bombs' are the result of jingoism, immigration controls, and racism; they are entirely artificial.

Slow population growth is a crisis for capitalism not humanity. This is because capitalism requires infinite growth and the biggest engine that sustains that delusion is population growth. Just look who is freaking out about it.
