Yeah but the statistics also show that the more wealth people have the less kids they tend to have, regardless of background.

Germany has a long history of immigration, with the first wave of migrants coming from Italy, Greece, and Turkey in the 1960s and 1970s to help rebuild the country after World War II.

Working hours are fine. People don't work super long hours in Germany. You also get quite a bit of vacation time. The reason people don't have many kids (as is happening all over the developed world) is because the balance of incentives don't favor having kids. Kids are very expensive, both in terms of direct time and money spent on them and indirectly due to things like housing needs for families. And unlike in the old days, you can't just put them to work once they're 12 and have them earn money for the family or perform labor on your farm (because most people don't have a farm these days). Your kids won't realistically be able to produce any economic returns on all the money you've invested into them until they are well into their 20s or later once they're actually stable and have a career. And all the while, the upfront cost is gradually getting steeper and steeper. Housing is gradually becoming prohibitively expensive here in Germany, and even if you can afford what you need comfortably the supply is small relative to the demand. All these costs force young people to think hard about whether they want kids or not and force them to also wait longer before having kids.

Educated people more likely to realize there's a good chance anyone born now could have a incredibly worse life given global warming and just don't want to risk that for any potential children

Reply to comment by HistoricalInstance in As Cuba election day nears, some voters ask, 'why bother?' by Newgripper1221
>First off, how do you prevent people from returning to a capitalist society, forming their own states or even ensure the core idea of equal distribution?
By virtue of people having better lives. They won't want to go back to wage slavery.
>What do you do when some start working more, produce desirable items and thus accumulate more wealth than others?
Nothing. You are free to accumulate as much wealth as you want.
If these answers were not the ones you've expected, may I suggest for your own personal edification and intellectual nourishment to go and read as much as possible with regards to anarcho syndicalism.
You seem to be operating under a series of misconceptions.

Oh no!
If they alienate Russia, who will sign defense agreements with them and refuse to abide by said agreement when Armenia faces slaughter from an opportunistic, hateful neighbor?

That's right. For China, NZ is around 32nd in terms of import origin countries, and lower down the list as a market.

Those two sentences do not compute together. There is a whole of a lot more "Left" of LFI.

You know how cities have chinatown, or little italy, or just a general district where people from a common background will live together?
The mafia in america is still around a hundred years later. Bad stuff survives. Its just a thing.

Reply to comment by Living-Walrus-2215 in Russian diplomat Vasily Nebenzya insists Ukrainian children will be returned once it is safe to do so by green_flash
yeah, that's what I figured you meant . it's actually you "conveniently ignoring" the factor of sovereignty since accepting it doesn't suit Russia's wants in this situation. and we all know what Russia is saying. "we're gonna do whatever we want, so fuck you."
well, they can try that and see how it flies. if you take this trajectory all the way to its hypothetical conclusion: someone arrests Putin's spindly little ass, along with whoever else; Russia declares war on the entire world because they're so special and precious etc; Armageddon.
in theory. in practice I don't think anyone can predict what will come of all this. Russia is acting like a shower of assholes, a significant part of the rest of the world is clearly determined to stand against it.

But in a mixed society you wouldn’t get homophobic echo chambers. Native Indians Hindus and Thais and Chinese don’t have religious homophobia. Still there better not be a genetic component to culture. That would be full 1930s.

I'm met reallly smart people that have horrible beliefs based on where they grew up.
Homophobia for starters.
I agree with you that existing power structures enforce cultural norms but that doesnt take away from it.
Eitherway, we will find out soon what will happen.
