Latin America has a stable birth rate

2019-12-21 20:12:09 UTC  

I thought we were talking child per person

2019-12-21 20:12:13 UTC  

Africa nations are exploding in population, many of them have doubled there population in the last 30 years

2019-12-21 20:12:14 UTC  

Average child per person

2019-12-21 20:13:14 UTC  

even countries like Pakistan

2019-12-21 20:13:21 UTC  

which have close to 200 Million people

2019-12-21 20:13:33 UTC  

doubled their population in only 30ish years

2019-12-21 20:14:41 UTC  

When countries like Niger are expected to have a 53.2% growth to 34 million by 2030, it's really a drop in the bucket compared to China's projection of 1.45 Billion by 2030.

2019-12-21 20:15:49 UTC  

For the west it isn't though, China is Stable and Modern, Niger is a shithole where most people want to migrate

2019-12-21 20:16:04 UTC  

Man...i miss Assassins Creed 2. Fucking great to roam around Florence and Venice and taking in all the Renaissance atmosphere

2019-12-21 20:16:11 UTC  

Sure, but to suggest countries just discovering stability are going to be "over-capacity" before Europeans and East Asians is simply wrong.

2019-12-21 20:16:28 UTC  

Niger doesn’t have the same carrying capacity as China does. It’s mostly desert and their people are dumb, so they won’t be building high civilization to deal with the population boom.

2019-12-21 20:17:09 UTC  

With sizable oil reserves and gold/coal resources, they have plenty of natural resources to sustain growth.

2019-12-21 20:17:39 UTC  

again, I'm not talking about if they *can* sustain growth, I'm talking about if it's a good thing

2019-12-21 20:17:41 UTC  

Hmm

2019-12-21 20:17:55 UTC  

Maybe if they don’t fall into a civil war they can

2019-12-21 20:17:56 UTC  

@snake Niger =/= Wakanda

2019-12-21 20:18:05 UTC  

and Africa going from 1 Billion to 3 Billion people in 100 years isn't a good thing lmao

2019-12-21 20:18:07 UTC  

I would argue it's a good thing. They have a micro-population compared to the rest of the world, with plentiful resources that can be traded with 1st world countries.

2019-12-21 20:18:31 UTC  

Africa is also more violent

2019-12-21 20:18:44 UTC  

Well yeah, but not so much in the past decade compared to the past century.

2019-12-21 20:18:45 UTC  

I mean I’m just skeptical that Africa will be able to handle

2019-12-21 20:19:05 UTC  

Stability breeds population growth. As their governments modernize, you'll see natural growth as a result.

2019-12-21 20:19:57 UTC  

thats not really true though is it, Afganistan is a war zone and it's nearly doubled its population in 20 years

2019-12-21 20:21:15 UTC  

You can have population growth without stability, but stability helps.

2019-12-21 20:22:07 UTC  

Honestly, this is like scrutinizing a sapling in a forest. And sure, Afghanistan has doubled their population in the past 20 years, but that's largely due to immigration

2019-12-21 20:22:24 UTC  

Their growth rate is on-par with most under-developed nations

@Mersenne this conversation does seem pretty pointless to be fair, so I'mma go back to sleep

2019-12-21 20:23:47 UTC  

Pretty much bro. It's pointless speculation without a fucking point.

2019-12-21 20:33:33 UTC

Damn, Sargon finally tried to upload he video we've been waiting months for, and it gets CopyStriked
