First of all this map is wrong an outdated. France is above 1.8, and Hungary (depending on what your source is) is around 1.5-1.6. And those're the "official" numbers.
I mention this every time someone brings up population and birth rates, because it irks me that people will do autistic levels of research on every other topic but take this at face value. But the truth is, the way birth rates are calculated are intentionally faulty.
In pretty much every civilized nation, including here in the west, we've done EVERYTHING we can to eliminate underage pregnancy and births. And we've been largely successful. In the US for example, juvenile births have crashed by more than 90-95% since the 90s. And I doubt anyone will argue against that being a good thing. But the problem is, that we still calculate birth rates the old way, which INTENTIONALLY INCLUDES all of those underage women that we've actively done everything we can possibly do to prevent them from having kids.
If you adjust birthrate to reflect this modern value of NOT wanting teenagers to marry, get pregnant, and give birth, then guess what? Birthrates skyrocket. The US for example, hovers between 2.0-2.1 and some years even dips up to 2.2.
Now I WILL be fair here, since I don't want to spread ACTUAL misinformation. I haven't done the math for EVERY country (obviously), but I have done a handful besides the US to get a general idea. For example, South Korea, well and truly IS screwed. Even WITH the adjusted birthrate, they're still at like 1.1-1.2. Poland typically goes around 1.4-1.5, so they're not AS bad and COULD be reversed if they adopted Hungary like policies to reverse birth rate decline, but they're not anywhere near replacement
But in these countries there are unique factors (like work culture or overly repressed housing markets even compared to the rest of the world) that drive down their birth rates.
My point is this, birth rates are a lie, it's not as bad as they want you to believe, people need to do their own research. Because everything I just said? That's all assuming death rates and population numbers ARE true, which a lot of people think (with evidence) that they aren't and populations are MUCH smaller than we've been led to believe with deaths being overinflated in order to fluff up voter rolls, social security rolls, etc. for various forms of fraud.
So taking THAT into account, it's entirely possible the truth is even better than what I've determined.
Outstanding. Thanks for doing that work. The US has an extra advantage, people want to come here. I do think that we should focus mostly on young, smart, conservatives from Europe and just cherry pick quality from other areas.
