>>2799600This has nothing to do with it. Poor people have more kids than the rich/middle class, and this is well known. The real issue is that, when a society gets safe, men relax and get less aggressive, conflicts are resolved non violently, men increasingly have to simp harder and harder to get female attention since women increasingly don't really have any good reason to want men anymore, and it's a zero sum game that continues until female standards are impossible to meet. It has nothing to do with wages. Women simply have no reason to get together with men anymore. The core cause of this is not technology either. Even Rome had low birthrates at the end.
