The never-ending battle against woke Hollywood and SJW infused entertainment media [trigger warning]

Is this legit? God I hope this is real!

 

While this is hilarious... and it is (I mean it really really is)... it's reasons like this that will eventually result in China supplanting the USA as the world's premier superpower.

 

Beat you to it!

 

Yup

 

That's possible. The US is not beyond the point of turning things around and this election is a step in that direction. The question is how much can Trump capitalize or will he squander the opportunity?

I agree with you, both in a physical/geographical/military sense and in a cultural sense. China has ambitions to absorb Hong Kong and Taiwan, but beyond that, I don't think they are that much of a threat.

In terms of economics, capitalism will outbreed communism in terms of innovation.

 

While I certainly agree that this is definitely an issue to be dealt with, it remains to be seen whether he keeps that promise... he may well do so, in which case good on him, but we should wait until the fat lady (or orange man in this case) sings before we give him any credit.

This. I would like to say that while I am an only child I'd like to think I am not spoiled or soft... but though the young generations of the West are largely becoming weak-minded and incapable, so are those in China, just in a different way. Couple that with a largely ageing population of adults and negligence of their infrastructure in a few generations' time China will be very much on a steep decline. It's certainly not as if China was still the young, vibrant, rapidly-industrialising nation it was a few decades ago. I wouldn't be surprised if its power has already peaked.

That would perhaps be a more beneficial outcome for the world as a whole... no more superpowers or alliances trying to oppress or resist each other, and everyone just too busy sorting out their own problems to worry about declaring war on anyone else.

This is certainly a disturbing prospect... of course if the climate continues to warm then that may do something to mitigate the population advantage those poorer countries, very often in the hottest regions, will have. However, if most of their people end up illegally migrating to First/Second World countries, the tilt will still be there... just that those Third World countries will have attempted to supplant their host nations.

While, as you know, I am contemptuous toward any aspiring dictator, one thing about Hungary's PM, Viktor Orban, is that he is (or at least claims to be) driving a focus upon encouraging specifically native Hungarians to have more offspring, specifically with each other rather than with migrants - which is something every country in the West should be doing. It is the native populations who have the fastest declining birth rates (just look at Italy in particular) and that are ageing the most, and the theories that native Britons/French/Italians/whatever may become a minority group in their own countries in a few generations' time certainly have some weight to them because of that. And I'm going to say it... we should not be encouraging multicultural relationships, at least not in the league that the leftists encourage in TV ads (where the 'perfect' family is at the very least mixed-race). Too much blending between people of different cultures will just dilute and wipe out those cultures from the minds of future generations.

This certainly makes me all the more conscious of my unfortunate singledom, and my desire to turn it around and find someone (of native British origin and standing of course) to secure a sincere, committed, long-term relationship with and with whom I can pass my bloodline onto subsequent generations. Fortunately, I seem to be gaining ground and turning a few more female heads of late (or becoming more aware of said heads turning)...

 

I would say only to a point, for men and women - too many people sacrifice their family life purely to focus on career-building.

The problem is, here, that then you have both parents working, with neither having enough time (or worse, not enough interest) to look after their children, which prompts many families to ditch the children at their grandparents' house, or worse, at a nursery or in front of a screen for the whole day.

Children need parental love and discipline specifically to maximise chances of growing into fully-functional citizens capable of contributing to society. The issue in this modern day is that too many parents think only of themselves, or their career, or both, and too few spend the time teaching their offspring how to play, how to be imaginative and creative, and how to tell right from wrong - and the result is an increasing number of children becoming delinquent even at an early age (very often they're 'diagnosed' with ADHD, Autism or another condition, but a lot of the time it's simply down to parents not teaching them the basic skills they need to know at their early age). I was fortunate enough to be raised by two very loving, committed, married parents who dedicated so much of their time to caring for me, teaching me and raising me, and I am eternally grateful for their time and effort. Every child deserves that, and I'd say needs that.

Here's another problem though - the mindset that everyone should get married and have children young, very often when they're also doing other things like finishing education, getting started at work and so on. Additionally younger parents are less mature and experienced themselves, with less to teach their offspring.

True, I am an only child and probably not the best example for contributing to stopping population decline, but now that I read your words I do think there needs to be a balance between being able to have a good-sized family to help slow the population decline but also producing a well-bred, well-behaved and educated family. We don't want future generations to continue the trend of delinquency that is persisting in our current society.
