>>81806024I agree with op I suppose but I took the whole congolese fertility topic on it's own because often african fertility rates get misinterpreted and people think a woman pumping out 5 babies every 20 years means their populations quintuple as often, forgetting they die really fast too and even more when war breaks out, which is often.
Most african fertility rates have been getting lower over time as well. It's why western politicians are surprised when you take these babymakers out of their circumstances and the second generation doesnt pump out as many babies anymore.
And yes I agree with your assessment of the advantage not mattering at the end of the day. With
>>81805862 I just wanted to add that living in a low fertility nation living through population collapse will lead to hell in earth while living in a high fertility population with low QOL and high death rates will also lead to hell on earth.
And then at the end I wanted to add that if the west collapses and is unable to contribute to the world system that a lot of african nations will plunge into chaos.
1 in 3 people in congo suffers from food insecurity and congo is as of now only supporting 20% of their total food need themselves. Im just saying that they will return to a very bad place themselves, and it wont even be their own fault. Well, unless its because they just grow too big even if the west is still kicking around.
So yeah I would agree with
>For the record, I support women's rights but I'm growing more skeptical because of information like this and the political attitudes of women.
