Not by military force but implosion due a variety of factors, some of which is probably due to mass cuck-ification of western men:
Sperm count more than halved in Western men
In the largest study of its kind, researchers find that sperm count in Western countries has more than halved in recent decades. Outside of these countries, however, the decline is not significant.
The question of whether or not sperm count is declining has been hotly debated for many years within the scientific community. However, no firm conclusion has been reached.
Of course, a reduced sperm count has important implications for reproduction, but this is not the only reason for alarm; low sperm count has been shown to increase the risk of all-cause mortality and morbidity."
You know, of course, every man reading this is 100% sure you are not talking about them. This is clearly about the hipsters wearing skinny jeans in the big cities and not about us “normal” men, right?
My belief is that it is probably biologically linked to the perceived need to procreate, or it could be something as simple of tighty whitey’s versus commando.
Have they compared the sperm counts to infant mortality rates among the population tested? I would not be surprised to see a correlation.
Have they compared sperm counts among populations of differing psychological profiles? For example hedonists who never intend to have children and those who value children?
Have they ever studied sperm count in herd animals during times of duress - drought, famine, and compared the results with those taken during times of bountifulness?
Same thing with predators during those same periods?
I tend to believe there are many factors beyond the ‘cuck-ification of western men.’
I’m not seeing too many reasons to have kids with the world the way it is today. Have you all read GD lately?
From start to finish - the baby mama has mad mood swings and gets extra large. Then they keep you up all night. Then Public schools indoctrinate them. I’ll raise them to not be cucks, transgender, or to accept other BS as normal so they’ll be bigots. They might sue me if I kick them out of the house, or if I take their cell phone away. If he’s a boy he’ll be accused of rape, if she’s a girl she’ll accuse someone of rape. Then when you’re about to die they fight over who gets your money. And I just read on the news that raising a middle class child costs upwards of a quarter mil. That’s a decent Ferrari or the means to retire super early for each one.
My wife and I would love to have fur kids. Not going to happen money or time wise. I think the key isn’t that we have just two kids, it is that we didn’t have our first two kids.
A generation ago we would have gotten married younger and not waited to have kids till grad schools and things settled down. Instead of starting to have kids in our mid twenties, we didn’t start until our 30s.
It isn’t that we have just two kids, we skipped having the first two.
“Exactly why testosterone levels appear to have dropped over the generations is unclear, and likely multifactorial, including an increase in body fat levels, estrogenic chemicals (xenoestrogens) found in the environment, to socio-cultural effects, to others not fully elucidated at this time.”
I don’t disagree and no kids of my own. Trying to out breed each other is not the answer obviously, but “by the numbers” we in the west will see out days numbered if that continues.
That I can do it with no debt, one job, 4 of my kids going into orthodontics, and me in grad school, I tell people ‘your reason (for not having more kids) is invalid.’*
Perhaps he needs to elaborate. If not a joke, not funny nor even correct. Now had the comment/joke been directed at ME etc attempting take over by literally out breeding us, well, not very PC to be sure, but essentially true intentional or not…
