How Sardinia’s rapid population decline is part of a growing global trend | Beyond Borders

[@donsullivan6199]

The reason the birth rate is high in France is because the Muslim emigrates are having lots of kids. Franxe is becoming North Africa.

Beyond Borders is owned by TRT World (Turkish propaganda) . Do you think Turkey cares about Sardinians? No! Don't be fooled by the perfect English of the employees. The ultimate Turkish objective is the Islamization of Europe which is a core Erdogan policy. This video covers 2 Turkish objectives 1. Convince Europeans that we are doomed without migrants, so accept them 2. Find places to "export" Kurds who inhabit politically critical areas in Turkey by making their life like "hell" and then showing them a path to happiness via immigration. Sardinia is such a target. So, dont be fooled by Turks!!!

Fundamentally, people don't need to be attached to land anymore because we have industrial farming that supplies everyone in the world with food. Subsistence farming that is the foundation of many communities is no longer necessary, and continue doing it has opportunity cost. This is what we read about in novels about the future - megacities, no borders, people just living on the planet and moving around as the life takes them. Many places that don't need to be farms or industrial areas can be either for recreation/tourism, or just returned to nature.

aint megacities dystopia though.... nothing living, just concrete around you all times, people you dont know and can be dangerous.... no place to have family.

[@arktseytlin]

@effexon true. But that's the world we built. We have also hollowed out smaller cities when the manufacturing from there moved abroad

Lol. Everything I saw was a bunch of state lichies throwing the most generic arguments possible.

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Lots of generalised commentary but no properly expressed recognition of the fact that people in industrialised economies are not starting to have their *FIRST* child until at least 30 years old. This trend *GUARANTEES* that the population will continue to age AND decline.

[@whitneyanders5945]

lol.. basically being alive means we will age regardless of when we have children. One can start having kids at 30 and still pump out seven or eight by the time they are in menopause. But no one wants to do that. Women don’t want to have loads of kids. Those days are long gone. Humans need to adapt to the low fertility rates. That’s what we do- we adapt.

[@keyboarddancers7751]

​@@whitneyanders5945 Totally agree; who on earth would truly WANT to 'pump out' so many kids especially starting at the rather improbable age of 30? Now the question remains; how do we adapt (effectively and in the long term) to an increasingly established parenting culture which eschews youthful motherhood?

[@julianskinner3697]

Good

[@whitneyanders5945]

I’m not sure.. but I have faith in our human ability to adapt to the new normal. I guess all we can do is buckle up and enjoy the ride.
