Twitter link to thread I found the graph: https://x.com/NatHalberstadt/status/1951635776900415724
Grok, what year did the USSR fall?
Grok, what is the rate of home ownership for young people in China?
Grok, why did Disney Adults become a thing?
Curious, what happened here? (1990)
The spectre haunting Poland
humans can’t reproduce in captivity
This sort of stat is on a bit of a delay. It’s really saying, how many people that entered adulthood (by legal standards) 12 years ago have managed to obtain both home ownership and marriage since then. So the drop off in the early 90’s is a reflection of what those people were dealing with under
.Real shame that John Hinkley decided to use a .22 and not an actual caliber
Gotta say, having a kid is just as expensive as it sounds. I would recommend having more money than me if you decide to manufacture a baby
I also can’t even imagine the time. Like, I’m single/childless and I get off work frustrated with the amount of time left in the day. I simply couldn’t do it. Those hours of free time are LITERALLY the only thing keeping me going. I lose those? I’m gone.
Yeah, luckily playing with a kid is pretty fun but they have a lot more play in them than i ever will
And eventually, they require less effort, I would think. And maybe even you could teach them your hobbies so that you can do things you want, with them. Still though, it must be very hard.
I luckily have been quite enjoying it. The chemicals all went off in my brain and i love my little buddy
People also have video games now, which are more fun than having abbies
It’s also much cheaper, even if you go all out
This is why i haven’t made babies with my boyfriend yet
I am in the same situation, though we have been trying almost every night for years.
It’s the backwards logic of chud supremacists, on the one hand they want white men having children for the race war, but on the other, they want incels to have ai sexbots as their wives. Well spoiler alert, the incels can only afford the ai wives and it’s much easier than getting laid!
It’s not illogical.
Some losers become Nazis, because having a scapegoat feels good and doesn’t require you to do any thinking or self-improvement. Many losers also cannot get laid because they are insufferable twats. Often, these things are related.
The AI waifu loser nazis simply assume that the chads they have been told exist will have all the babies and make a new generation of super alphas.
They also assume, wrongly, that, if this were to somehow happen, they would not also get turned into gristle for the wheels of fascism under some pretense.
I feel like something like this might be true or factual but also plays into reactionary narratives hence MTG and the john birch society boosting this graphic which appears to not be sourced at least no source I could readily find
edit: oooof post is by a full-on white nationalist
curious what a white nationalist even has to say about this. “see look people arent getting married or having kids because of removed”? do they even interact at all with or care about the economic reality fueling this?
They blame the housing affordability crisis on “immigrants getting free housing”, I’m not even joking.
WHO’S GETTING FREE HOUSING EVER IN AMERICA?!
It’s “great replacement” fodder.
FYI I am seeing comments elsewhere about how this may be directionally correct, but this graph is just AI-generated slop based on bad data.
I mean a quick glance at the twitter account posting it shows the guy is a full on white nationalist. Hexbear moment
So much fucking twitter-brain in this community
Half the posts here are twitter screenshots. like dawg, why you using a white nationalist microblogging site?
Also it feels like so many people are looking for a quick dunk even if it’s “friendly fire” on something that should be addressed in good faith, and I’m not sure if people realize it’s just as annoying as the smug and smarm you get from a typical reddit reply.
Hexbear moment
A long time ago, there was a person on this site who frequently pointed out declining birth rates were due to women having more agency. People outside of the Imperial Core live in worse conditions with less money (Palestine being a good example), yet still manage to have children and raise families.
That person got fed up with all the he/him(s) saying “No, that’s wrong!” and left the site.
Why TF would anyone want to bring a kid into a world that is getting worse each year?
Not that it’s even my choice, but even if I had the means to have a kid. I gladly wouldn’t out of spite.
Because I’m a selfish, entitled, spiteful millennial…
neeerrrowowwww explosion noises
Grok, what is the rate of home ownership for young people in China?
Already fell below 2000 level (total number of registered marriages):
“The rent is too damn high!” Also, the world being on fire isn’t particularly encouraging.
I’m totally fine with marriage and living in the suburbs being a thing of the past
