The answer is very simple to grasp for people with triple digit IQ. Most first world nations are aging more and more and not reproducing. This results in an inverted age pyramid --that is, few young people and several old people. As a result of this, there are fewer and fewer younger people working harder and harder to keep an aging populace alive. This causes further downward pressure on fertility: Men and women today don't want to breed, how much do you think they'll want to when 3/4 of their paycheck is taxed to keep the elderly alive? Oh, and you think Boomers are bad? Now imagine that their population was 4 times higher and they all still vote to keep their entitlements and increase them. Because that's what every single aging Millennial including you will be doing in 30 years when you're retired.
The fact is that GROWTH is not itself necessary. Growth is desirable if sustainable, but the end result should be a stable age pyramid with younger people being continuously born to maintain society. Oh, and since you used a kike image to suggest that this is all some ploy by happy merchants to maintain a consumer class, go ahead and look up the TFR of all nations sorted from top to bottom. Notice that only ONE country among all non-developing nations is above replacement rate. That's right, it's fucking ISRAEL. Fell for it again award, here it's for you
