   South Korea has some of the major prescriptions against a low birth rate that many boomer rightists talk about- porn is illegal, mandatory military service for all young men, 'HARD WORK' employment culture.
   
   Despite all this, it has the lowest fertility rate in the world. What gives? I thought all we needed to 'save america' was to "kick the zoomer in the ass" and "get young men back to work"?

     @synapsid Young men aren't the bottleneck in reproduction so kicking them in the ass just makes them resentful

     Exactly.
     Fertility cannot be fixed by fixing men.

     @givenup @synapsid The root of all our troubles re: birth rate, are the women, or centered on the woman and her lifestyle. Most people either think you’re not a man if you say this or think your ideas are too radical. But you can’t put one more man on a dating app to raise the birthrate. It’s on them.

     >'hard work'
     That might also play into it. 'Hard work' is only good if it's fruitful and fulfilling, if it actually produces things that will endure. These days it's defined by a slavish willingness and the number in your bank account. There's nothing to be proud of and almost nothing to actually show for it but damage to ones pride and dignity and degradation as a man.
     
     There are a myriad of other factors stacked on top of all of the above.
     Overpopulation also has a compounding effect on this behavior (for the K-selected human sub-species). It's not an especially well understood mechanism though.
     
     The reality that most people never consider when looking at these emerging situations is that populations can grow and shrink naturally, sometimes dramatically. The only people this effects negatively, as long as you're able to resist the drug of mass immigration, are corporations and their bottom line. Letting a population shrink ends their infinite growth curve.
     
     And yes, these entities are perfectly willing to sacrifice an entire nation, the entire demographic make up of a country, to marginally improve their bottom line. All in the name of 'GDP' which means literally fucking nothing to 99.99% of people.
     
     Never mind plastics and estrogen mimicking chemical in everything.

     @synapsid While Liberals think wealth and feeling nice makes you breed less, Conservatives think you need to make people poor and miserable so they have more children.
     
     ...and that's politics in liberal democracies pretty much in a nutshell, the Left exist to make you think everything nice you have comes from the things that exist to exterminate you, the Right exist to make you think changing anything would just mean a lot of inescapable suffering for everyone.
