This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What's the connection between population decline and tight knit communities and crime? I can't see any

“I guess we’ll have to increase wages”. Doesn’t work when there aren’t enough working people to maintain critical infrastructure.

World wide population decline is going to cause some serious problems. The US will need to establish a strong immigration policy to absorb people fleeing failing countries/geographies while continuing to provide food, and the transportation of that food, to the rest of the us.

Why would anyone be running to the US? Do you think people dream of being forced into labor camps?

With fewer people more things will count as "too niche to be commercially viable". I lived in a village where I couldn't find a pencil 3b or softer at local stores.

I hope anon enjoys mainstream music ~more than i do~

Who's gonna build that real estate with fewer people around? Where would money for higher salary come from with fewer customers? Pollution argument is a "carbon footprint" type of bullshit to shift responsibility to general population from companies that actually do most of pollution, and violently defend their right to do so. Communities become less highly knit because of third spaces dying, phones colonising spare time, and algorithms pushing people to have worse view of world and each other.

Increase population should increase efficiency (economies of scale, many products of intellectual labor being infinitely replicatable) - and efficiency did increase at the same time as population. It's just that salaries didn't.

Mental gymnastic to make worsening conditions of ordinary people somehow fault of other ordinary people.

what the hell is this WEF UN propaganda? ...Oh wait...the EU talks about depopulating too.

But they stop short of saying what they actually want, which is to cull half of humanity
