South Korea has some of the major prescriptions against a low birth rate that many boomer rightists talk about- porn is illegal, mandatory military service for all young men, 'HARD WORK' employment culture.
Despite all this, it has the lowest fertility rate in the world. What gives? I thought all we needed to 'save america' was to "kick the zoomer in the ass" and "get young men back to work"?

@synapsid While Liberals think wealth and feeling nice makes you breed less, Conservatives think you need to make people poor and miserable so they have more children.
...and that's politics in liberal democracies pretty much in a nutshell, the Left exist to make you think everything nice you have comes from the things that exist to exterminate you, the Right exist to make you think changing anything would just mean a lot of inescapable suffering for everyone.

@CheshireHuman @Aviz @synapsid There’s really no common thread other than “they’re not in Africa.” Some countries suck, some are nice. Some countries are developed, some are backwaters. Not a lot of consistency. And TFR in SA is another eye-opener. Those rates are very low too, just not as low as the bottom countries. I believe only three are above replacement TFR, but that may have changed.
