This has been a growing trend for decades now. For many western nations the response has been to import more people primarily from the Asian continent. And while this has worked to keep the numbers high, it hasn't addressed the fundamental issues driving this.

I do wonder that as other countries such India and the African nations start to face the same situation, will they end up limiting the amount of emigration? And if so how will that impact countries that have relied on this to prop up their economies.

For instance here in Australia, we dipped below replacement fertility rate in 1975 but immigration has increasingly filled that gap. It has made the country wonderfully multicultural but it can also be seen as a band-aid solution. If the fire hose of people from overseas slows down, regardless of internal or external reasons, the economy goes with it. This is similar for large parts of the world.

Interesting times ahead.

I hate the multiculturalism and it has made where I live a much worse place. No thanks, I do not want Albania's having gang murder incidents where I live.

Especially people from Muslim countries are obnoxious and some of the worst people I continue to meet.

Is debunked conspiracy theory, not debunked and not conspiracy anymore since replacement is a fact now?

The conspiracy theory part is that it's the Jews, vaguely defined globalists, or some other group they don't like trying to exterminate white people for some unstated reason.

They don't blame groups like business owners openly calling for cheap labor to be brought in.

Thank you for explanation, it really looks like business owners are doing white people replacement not some Jews.

On German TV this continually alternates between official state policy and debunked conspiracy.

Great replacement implicitly assumes that people who don't have children are part of the conspiracy.

You could now counter and say that these people are following the incentives of the system to not have children so they do not have to be aware of the conspiracy, but how is that exclusive to a specific race? The grandchildren of immigrants will be replaced as well.

I see. There are two parts.

One is a fact, white people are replaced by mostly Muslims and second is a theory 'with the complicity or cooperation of "replacist" elites'

Don't worry. Sillicon Valley will fix it with AI. /s

We'll just have to give up perpetual growth and do more with less. The world population was always smaller than what it is now. What will happen is people from other, more crowded places, are going to move in and no amount of deportations is going to stop that.

I do think we will end up in a de-growth position but I fear what that will mean on a humanitarian level. Not so much a de-growth with social purpose (no not eco-fascism stuff!), but a post-growth with panic.
