What to make of this pattern? It is significant, for sure - not a coincidence.
In so far as children are a stake in the future, this is important; but the ruling elites who do have children are also actively-wrecking the world that their children will inherit (not least by ensuring that they will be vilified, persecuted, parasitised minorities in what were their own countries).
And this is just the tip of an iceberg of chosen sub-fertility - implicitly willed extinction - which affects almost the entirety of Western populations (apart from a few traditionally religious subgroups).
It is also just the tip of an iceberg of anti-real-marriage, anti-family, anti-biology - pro-extra-marital promiscuity, pro-sexual revolution, pro-hedonism...
It is decadence, it is nihilism, it is despair. It is positive, deliberate, strategic evil.
We knew all this already - and we know the cause; but demographics provides the most objective data that illustrates it.
Significance: They aren't the future. The question: Who will be?
ReplyDelete"Who will be?" According to present demographic trends - among the native populations, a few *small* groups of Christians; and a larger number of people composed of those of very low intelligence, high impulsivity and high psychopathy. But mainly; recent arrivals from the lower social classes of the higher fertility parts of the world.
ReplyDeleteTsai Ing-wen of Taiwan and Shinzo Abe of Japan are also childless.
ReplyDeleteTrump has five children.
New Zealand socialist PM has a cat, Putin has two humans... The pattern overall fits the theory.
ReplyDeleteThe PM of Italy also has no children - That means the leaders of the Big Four European nations (UK, Germany, France, Italy) don't have a single child between them...
ReplyDeleteThe Irish PM has none.
In balance, the Spanish PM has two.
What about the increasingly-Christian, mass-immigration-resisting, ?breakaway V4 (Visegrad) group?
Polish - Four
Hungarian - Five
Slovakian - One
Czech - Four
Hmmm... I think I begin to see where European hope, motivation and purpose is located...

Absolutely, Bruce. I've been thinking that (re the V4) for a while.
ReplyDeleteEU population 510 million.
ReplyDeleteCountries with childless leaders 310 million.
Voting rights, influence, all go by population. The EU is controlled by leaders who have no children to experience the effects of their decisions.
