I have to disagree. I have posted before a while back , that the cycle we are in, is going to be unlike any we have seen, since the 60's ,in fact it is even graver than the 60's with multiple, world wide events colliding about the same time around, the world ; & throw in climate change, for the world is going to be affected by the political machinations that are taking place at this very time. This is going to be a global event, that will turn the tide one way or another. One great difference than the 60's is global media; computers, smart phones etc. that will increase the speed in which things happen . It might make the 60's tame in comparison. Whats the saying," where there is great challenges there is also great opportunity ". people are mobilizing, not just here but in many parts of the world for their is going to be global change happening, we just don't know when, & how , but great change will happen, & what we are witnessing now is just the start. I agree difficult times are ahead. Your theory argues that great global events will happen.
This could very well be. Several people, including conservative financiers are predicting
another financial meltdown, more severe than in 2008. You say the tables will be turned
one way or another. But it is difficult to see the tables turning much positively with
continual escalation including violence. Someone once said hate is a lot easier to generate than love.
This is true in the short-run and often in the long-run. By its very nature love is restrained
and considerate, whereas hate thrives on casting off restraint and decency.
Hence it is an open question whether today's more expansive technology and communications
will contribute to a positive outcome on many counts. It is true such modern communication
can be good, but it also allows hate, idiocy and corruption to be spread much more easily
than in the past. Dire economic problems like a financial meltdown are a perfect breeding
ground for more hate and strife.
On the flip side modern tech allows the state to tighten control and oppression over citizens.
As more and more things are tied to a network state dictatorship is enhanced. Look at our
online activities. Our whole lives are now n networks- whether it be email, Fbook, Twit, or
financial transactions we make via credit and debit cards. Orwell's 1984 is very much
within reach. SO I don;t see the future with tech as necessarily bright or a big event as positive.
History actually tends to lean towards NEGATIVE outcomes.
I have seen the movie Children of Men- I agree it is a great movie. And it ties in with
what I say above. The big events in the future are not necessarily positive. Remember
the dystopian future in the movie- a world of chaos and refugees, and dictatorial regimes
rounding up people into camps of one sort or another.
And while various racists make a lot of noise about "white decline" blamed on "the culluds"
declining birth rates in the West are in good measure, self-inflicted. As I say elsewhere
in debating various alt-rightists/racists: QUOTE-
"Any notion of a "common misconception" put forward by
[white racist author] Taylor or his followers is simply
uncommon rubbish. In fact every credible demographer or
scholar notes that whites are failing to reproduce themselves,
particularly in Europe. Minority "gangstas" aren't roaming the
suburbs preventing white people from reproducing. The ball is
entirely in the white court. What is preventing more white
babies are things like : (a)white disparagement or downgrading
of the traditional family- seen in such things as the embrace of
homosexuality and "gay" marriage, (b)failure of white women
to marry and reproduce enough in early adult years, and (c)
huge white rates of abortion that are killing off the millions of
cute white babies of the next generation. White Russia for
example kills 2 white babies for each one born (Loveness and
Holman 2007). Why aren't white "role models" getting their
house in order? Euro-Americans have not YET reached the
levels of Europe but they are nevertheless trending that way.
According to US census data- (See prb.org- World population
Datasheets 2012- Fact Sheet The Decline in U.S. Fertility) the
fertility level for US whites is now at 1.9 per 100,000 below
replacement level.
And who says white people are building these so-called
"sustainable" families? The white divorce rate for the past few
decades stands at around 50%. 29 percent of all white births are
now out of wedlock- higher than that posted by blacks in the
early 1960s. Among non-college white women under 30- (the
most fertile group) - the out-of-wedlock rate now stands at 50
percent. Moreover, with 75 percent-plus of their babies born
outside marriage, white teens now have much higher
illegitimacy rates than the black American teens of the early
and mid-1960s. Indeed, in 2002, a white mother younger than
30 was more likely to have an illegitimate child than a black
mother was in 1970. Today no state in the Union has an Anglo
illegitimacy ratio as low as 10 percent. Even in predominantly
Mormon Utah, every eighth non-Hispanic white infant is born
out of wedlock.
And "sustainable" white "role models" are equally
unimpressive as far as family instability and fatherlessness. As
of 2001, according to a U.S. Census Bureau study released
earlier this month, every fifth white child under 18 was living
in a single-parent home. Roughly a third of America's white
children, furthermore, were living in a home without both
biological parents--and 2 percent to 3 percent of white children
lived with neither biological parent. Here again, white
American trends have reached Moynihan report levels.
(Eberstadt, 2005. Dallas News- White families Are in Trouble
Too). As if this is not enough, whites are in the forefront of
destroying traditional family relationships snd understandings
with increasing acceptance of "gay" marriage, and
"transgendered" "alternatives." In the 2008 fight over
California's Gay Marriage referendum, a majority of whites
supported gay marriage. It was black and Hispanic votes that
upheld traditional marriage. But to no avail- whites followed
up again as a majority of white judges on the Supreme Court
ushered in same-sex marriage throughout the land. Given such
facts, the touted "sustainability" is a shaky proposition in the
long term.
As for "having children you can afford" white people have
more than enough money to support massive amounts of
children. White wealth for example is over 12 times on average
that of blacks, and over 8 times that of Hispanics. White
income depending on the state examined, is almost double that
of coloreds,(Pew Research 2011), and white people arranged to
lock in their advantages for centuries by suppressing black
rights and opportunities- hence well into the late 1980s few
effective federal enforcement mechanisms existed that allowed
blacks equal access to buy housing in the area of their choice.
Whites sandbagged and obstructed the colored at every turn,
and have even rigged the game to assure that affirmative action
benefits mostly white people, especially white women. In short,
both now and historically, white people can afford to have
many more children, but they refuse to, not only in the US but
in Europe as well. They do though seem to have plenty of
money for other trendy things."
