Idk, if you educate women the fertility rate usually drops, so it stands to reason if you reeducate them it'd drop even further...

To all our readers on Lemmy,
Please don’t scroll past this. This Friday, for the 1st time recently, we interrupt your reading to humbly ask you to support Wikipedia’s independence. Only 2% of our readers give. Many think they’ll give later, but then forget. If you donate just £2, or whatever you can this Friday, Wikipedia could keep thriving for years. We don't run ads, and we never have. We rely on our readers for support. We serve millions of people, but we run on a fraction of what other top sites spend. Wikipedia is special. It is like a library or a public park where we can all go to learn. We ask you, humbly: please don’t scroll away. If Wikipedia has given you £2 worth of knowledge this year, take a minute to donate. Show the world that access to neutral information matters to you. Thank you.
This is likely, and also because an unhinged unpredictable leader is more of a threat in the calculus of near-peer armed conflict flirting with nuclear MAD red lines. He's a perfect scapegoat for so many things that the powers that be want. In the context of climate change driven instability and political shifts, he's actually quite logical. The idea that two nations with McDonald's have never been in a hot war (Ukraine may have invalidated that but the idea is still relevant) means that to enable hot wars at scale it is first most important to decouple large industrial economies and re-silo the globalized economy into first/third/second world such that MIC supply chains can exist without being interrupted by peer adversaries.
