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.

Population growth is only slowing if you exclude brown people

On the contrary, accounting for time lag, there is reason to believe we have already fallen below replacement rate on a global scale.

Slow population growth is a crisis for capitalism not humanity

Capitalism collapsing without any transition plan in place would be disastrous for humanity. Capitalism bad, but so far it's worked out better than everything else we've tried (Scandinavia et al is still capitalism, just with a layer of socialism on top).

Just look who is freaking out about it.

Practically every demographic scientist on the planet.
