Much of Europe doesn't have a replacement rate level of births. That is a serious problem for welfare states.

Besides, what's the Nordic model? Death spirals? lol
Emergency? lol, the opposite, thats good news.
The herd needs thinned, we need an epidemic or something. Fault lines that cannot sit still and all that, we have too many morons now and we insist on importing drug runners, prostitutes and goat herders and their flea infested children to thin an already paper thin bloodline now.
We should be exporting our morons if we had any collective sense.
I do not plan on being a parasite in my old age.
If that occurs, I think it will be time to take up spear hunting bears.
Worst case scenario is that I die. Best case scenario is that I get a reality TV show about some old guy who hints bears with spears.
But back to the point: I don't care. I'm feeding my kids before some old person.

At the national level it is suicide to have policies that result in less than replacement rate.
If that society has a robust social welfare system it is not suicide, but rather insanity.
I think when you start commanding women to have more babies so that you can afford to close your borders to brown people, you run into problems that are more basic in nature. See the public response to the Italian and Japanese government's infamous recent misogynistic pressure campaigns or to Poland's further crackdown on abortion rights last year.Quote:

I am posting this based on comments in another thread which I don't want to derail. However, the comments posted suggested that America should be importing more Europeans than those from third-world countries. That actually presupposes that Europeans are lining up to immigrate to America. However, the fact is that America is plagued with a very low birth rate.
"The new birth rate numbers are out, and they're a disaster. There are now only 59.6 births per 1,000 women, the lowest rate ever recorded in the United States. Some of the decrease is due to good news, which is the continuing decline of teen pregnancies, but most of it is due to people getting married later and choosing to have fewer children. And the worst part is, everyone is treating this news with a shrug."

Europe has a very similar problem:
"Europe is ageing. On average, each woman has 1.58 children in the EU, substantially below the 2.1 children needed to sustain the current population level. Due to low death-rates and high net-migration, the overall population in Europe may be increasing, but the median age is crawling slowly upwards: 42 years in 2014 compared to just 29 a decade earlier."

So, if you are tasked with population replacement, do you bring in more people who won't reproduce or do you bring in people who will produce future tax payers.
