I respect Spengler, yet I sensed that he is hoping that Chinese and Muslims to develop resentment toward each other.

I don’t think Japan will disappear even its population is ageing and in decline but it’s only the total amount of population gradually become smaller but it won’t die out in the foreseeable future. Economically Japan is still one of the most prosperous countries in Asia, it’s economy strength is absolutely a force together with the new emerging India to confront China.

We have to work together as a World community. Who wants to see young people and seniors dying in another insane war.

[@isabellaliu8409]

The point is that Muslim population may be in decline in Middle East but there is tendency of increase in Europe and other western countries especially Europe like Germany France and uk you just got to see the increasing trend over other races in those countries. There is a possibility to become majority if the white futility rate continue declined!

It's a bit silly to keep saying "this is off the record" when you're being recorded and the video is uploaded to youtube.

[@ecomonitors8396]

he is an accountant who thinks he is some sort of master spy, a rreal creep

[@lexneuron]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@notheotherklaus]

Not his finest moment, china-bashing

[@fajarliong]

One who thought he is so clever 😄

[@dennyli9339]

Family....

[@josephdewuhan]

He is obviously sharp and deep in many ways, but also absurd in quite a few things, a victim of his own confidence on his own smartness.

[@Alohacarpark]

2:12 - I can’t get the analogy from infancy to senility, anyone care to explain

[@yankeefederer1994]

He was very accurate about the Uighur genocide.

[@sleeplessvirus]

His explanation of why the one child policy isn’t going to hurt Chinese demographic doesn’t seem to ring true seven years later.

[@hannrychan]

I think David represent another voice for his own credibility and stature to be heard. Not all points are facts, they are perspectives that trigger us in thinking moments. With his own background and organizations that he represented, he obviously has his own self interests and putting on the hats he represented. This man is certainly not a saint; but a knowledge worker;-) Love is the only language of God.

[@peterwang5196]

Just make it short and simple, the Chinese view about Jews and Middle East geopolitics. The Chinese will support Palestinians cause but not to allow Jewish people to be under threat of genocide threat.

[@ecomonitors8396]

looks like an aging Richard Simmons

[@MehdiSyed456]

David is presenting a view of the Muslim world through the heavily conditioned goggles and filters of Zionism, due to which he cannot be taken seriously as he cannot present from a neutral perspective which taints and throws into doubt anything he predicts and then he just asks you to take his word (“don’ want to bore you with slides”) rather than presenting his research for people to analyze. It’s a propaganda video full of contradictions and incoherencies. I had to stop it mid-way and avoid wasting anymore of my time listening to him.

[@isabellaliu8409]

Even the Chinese futility rate slightly increase but its gender disparity is in crisis too 100 girls to 12o boys roughly also above the fixity rate it here is also a large amount of ageing population out that 1.4 billion ppl. With that totalitarian regime though it could be done to increase birth rate by the governments’s calling as its ppl’s obligation!

[@yeshayahuhollander9866]

Fertility and Demography as the key element for the short-range development. The decline of population will change the balance of power. China is a family-based society so it has a stability that others do not have. [Except the Jews,]

[@ericvonstarhemberg2837]

+Yeshayahu Hollander Jews are screwed in the long run by higher Israeli Arab fertility

[@JaimKlein]

NO

[@yeshayahuhollander9866]

MIstake: the fertility rates are now equal, the Arab's rate is falling and the fertility rate of the secular Jews is increasing. The fertility rate of religious Jews has been higher that the Arab's for a long time

[@sinecure7203]

GAGUT IS THE TRUTH ....

[@johnnysmith6451]

He seems to be obsessed with China.

[@danielyoung6630]

AMERICA had its time a victim of its own victories now will join past EMPIRES in history ROME, BRITAIN ETC. FERTILITY IS NOT AS A COMMON AS IT USE TO BE and HAS MOTHER NATURE AND FATHER TIME HAD ENOUGH OF US?

[@Nik-ik8mv]

By that logic, if China becomes an empire, China will also one day join list of defeated empires?

[@josephodiase174]

How is Chinese civilisation older than indus velley, kemet and Middle Eastern.. Then saying European.. What lies

[@josephodiase174]

It is the oldest civilization that survives to this day. The language lives on. Modern day Egyptians do not communicate in hieroglyphs. Language is the medium of culture.

You are not really saying these shit, are you? A joke I would like to think. Cause you've some other good side of you.

The only way to recover Arab rights from Israel Ahmed Saleh Alfaqih Sadat's entry into the process that led to Camp David was a declaration of abandoning the question of Palestine. Arafat joined the procession that brought him to the Oslo Accords because he realized that any solution, even a near-fair one, was not possible, with the largest Arab army abandoning the cause. But the Hamas Brotherhood's collusion with Sharon and its bombing of the buses, including Jews, gave Sharon an excuse to stop committing to the Oslo Accords and then eliminate the two-state solution and to replace it with the rival Palestinian authorities in Gaza and the West Bank. Which finally led to the Israeli-American solution to a demilitarized Palestinian state in Gaza with the liquidation of the Palestinian refugee issue, and to harass the Palestinians of the West Bank by officially annexing settlements to Israel, leading to the displacement of Palestinians by expanding settlements and turning Palestinian lives into a resident hell. The Soviet Union and after it the Russian Federation was not a supporter to restore the Palestinian right by force, or the efforts of the Arab states to defeat Israel by imposing a forceful solution on it. Their support was content to provide the Arab countries with modest means to defend themselves, which was not useful in all Arab-Israeli wars, while US, UK, and France provide Israel with their latest vergins. Only Syria was aware of all this when it tried to acquire nuclear capability in cooperation with North Korea, and it is not ruled out that the Russians were the ones who informed Israel of this and it destroyed the planned nuclear reactor. Today Korea has become a significant nuclear power, and Syria must seek to acquire a ready-made weapon from it or from Iran. Hamas's brotherhood should seek cooperation with Pakistan's powerful Islamists to acquire a weapon or from Iran the same goes fr Hisbulla. That is the hope of the Palestinians and the Syrians to recover their rights. The Israelis are cowards and the west shall surrender because of their fear for Israel and shall support a fair solution. Only with a dangerous force to deter the cowards can the popular liberation war or peaceful protests produce results without fear of the Israelis' destructive reactions.
