       I think the 3-child policy is driven by the need for manpower
       and survival of China by the government.

       Russia's Demographic Crisis Explained - TLDR News
       --- Quote ---
       > Putin's invasion of Ukraine hasn't gone as well as he had
       planned, but things aren't going much better at home either,
       with Russia's fertility rate verging on a demographic crisis.
       Can Putin do anything about it, or will the war just make things
       worse?

       Sounds like a positive development to me at this particular

       --- Quote ---
       > A Russian has recently married into our family. She said that
       there was no way she was going to marry a Russian male.
       Apparently there is an imbalance between the number of males to
       females in the populace with less men. The males apparently take
       advantage of the situation and the females get treated poorly,
       so she wanted out.
       > This wasn't mentioned in the TLDR video.
       > Maybe the Ukrainian war will have an impact on the out of
       balance male-female ratio. She did mention the low male life
       expectancy as all her father's friends have died.

       --- Quote ---
       > Worth thing noting and I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned here
       is the domestic violence issue in Russia. It was decriminalised
       in 2017. Many many women have been harmed at the hands of their
       own men and many ended up dying in their own homes due to
       brutality occuring there. I can't imagine all this encourages
       women to have children when violence is so rampant. Then again,
       the head of the Russian church has remarked that "beatings are
       mere blessings" so maybe this might actually have nothing to do
       with birth rates going to hell.

       Perhaps integration of some Ukrainians into Russia is the
       purpose of the "filtration camps" then?

       In reality:

       reducing Japan's population by 100 million would merely bring it
       closer to the pre-Meiji population, as I previously discussed
       here:
  HTML http://aryanism.net/blog/aryan-sanctuary/another-one-bites-the-dust/
       which was a population (while still high) at least had not yet
       exceeded the carrying capacity of the land, and hence is what we
       should be actively trying to get back to ASAP. And at least back
       then Japanese were not Eurocentrists, whereas now this is how
       they respond to Musk:

       This Eurocentrist Japan is what Musk is actually worried about

       received,” President Macron said, the newspaper Le Figaro
       reports.

       > President Macron, who made his remarks on Thursday, also
       called for a new system to redistribute migrants across France,

       France is merely arriving late to obvious solutions that other

       --- Quote ---
       > Similar policies have been suggested in other countries in
       recent years, including Germany, where in 2016 it was suggested
       that villages and small towns could help integrate asylum
       seekers better and the asylum seekers would help counter
       demographic decline.
       >
       > A University of Milano-Bicocca study released last year also
       proposed using asylum seekers to repopulate rural areas and
       small towns in Italy, arguing that if the local governments
       limited migrant centres to no more than 25 people, there would
       be little economic cost.

       How do we know this is the correct solution? We look at who are
       opposing it:
       --- Quote ---
       > Some in France, such as populist National Rally leader Marine
       Le Pen, have come out against Macron’s proposal, however.
       >
       > “Emmanuel Macron wants to distribute foreigners in an
       irregular situation [illegal aliens] to rural areas. We believe
       that they should go back home. Unable to apply the law, he wants
       to change it. We will oppose this new madness!” Le Pen said on
       Twitter on Friday.
       >
       > Rival populist Eric Zemmour had proposed €10,000 “birth
       grants” during the French presidential elections, to repopulate
       the countryside naturally

       What is madness is encouraging more new births when there are
       already so many people desperately in need of housing.

       Actually, Canada is capable of carrying a much higher population
       than merely 50 million:
  HTML https://www.amazon.ca/Maximum-Canada-Million-Canadians-Enough/dp/0735273103
       therefore Canada should be a significant destination country for
       climate refugees.
  HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1jat2-zI98
       If you ask me, 100 million by 2041 would still not even close to
       enough given that climate refugees will eventually number in the
       billions.
       I also agree that Quebec should be a destination for climate
       refugees from Francophone countries in particular:

       per woman, he said, a level Russia saw only once in 1999-2000.

       Of course, the correct Russian fertility rate should be 0.
       At the point when the Ukraine war is about to end (hopefully
       still years away), Russia will be at its weakest. At that point,
       every country geographically capable of invading Russia should
       invade Russia simultaneously to finish it off.

       more women than men, almost the same disparity as a decade ago —
       the double blow being that Russian men at "prime child-bearing
       age" are dying in Ukraine or fleeing Putin's draft, which will
       "further depress the already low birthrates in the Russian

       boom began not as the G.I.'s returned from war, but as they were
       leaving for war." After the fighting stops, he adds, "wars may
       trigger a surge of nationalist ideas making people susceptible
       to pro-natal ideas and policies, even as so-called 'replacement
       fertility' often leads families to 'respond' to high-casualty
