Again.
Somewhere in these is a discussion of the increasing pressure Japan is under to accept migration in order to “get workers for an aging population with a low native birthrate.” Alleged traditionalist Peterson asks whether the Japanese have a choice – don’t they have to accept migration because of their demographics and their need for workers?
Sigh. I have discussed this several times (see below for one such instance). Haven’t we always been told how “the market can solve all problems” and that we should “depend on market forces?” What? Is mass race replacement immigration – a Ponzi-like scheme of continuously bringing in new immigrants to deal with the current situation of needing workers to support today’s population – the only market solution? Why can’t the vaunted market solve the problem of now native birthrates-aging population-workers in the absence of immigration? Why can’t the market find a sustainable solution that eschews Ponzi scheme population flows? Why can’t the market find a solution that is not demographic national suicide? Where is the solution that doesn’t entail permanently changing the nature of the nation and replacing the native population? How does the native population ultimately benefit if they lose their nation and the future belongs to others? And isn’t the immigration Ponzi scheme ultimately a short-term solution anyway? Either the native population will be replaced and the new population will no longer require more immigration or the new population will also exhibit lower birthrates and will require more immigration and/or national wealth differences balance out so that migration pressure ends, or some other scenario – but this cannot go over forever. Sooner or later, the situation will change. Why not manifest change today and prevent race replacement? Why must we “kick the can” down the road, procrastinate real change, and lose native populations before it is realized that this madness has to eventually end? Are there any adults in the house? Does anyone look to the future and realize that we are simply pushing the painful denouement to future populations that may be less capable of dealing with it?
We need to get all of the relevant thinkers together and tell them to assume a scenario in which immigration is possible, assume that there are no outside population sources. In that situation, under those conditions, what would you do to solve the problems of low birthrates and (alleged) worker shortages? If these problems really are so existential, then solutions must be found – these thinkers cannot be serious if they aver that in the absence of immigration these problems are insoluble and thus the nation will die. Eventually, effective solutions will be determined. Those solutions must then be implemented, even though it is acknowledged that these solutions would likely entail significant sacrifice and societal pain. That sacrifice and pain are the prices to be paid for taking the easy way out for so long and procrastinating a sustainable and sane solution to these problems. The sacrifice and pain are the prices to be paid to save the nation and prevent race replacement.
I note also this is why Salter’s EGI concept is so important, so as to clearly illustrate the costs involved in not making these necessary sacrifices. It’s not merely economics or politics or culture of whatever. It is the loss of biological kin; it is a catastrophic loss of adaptive fitness. This is akin to seeing an extended family diminished or actually eliminated. These are ultimate interests; this is the destruction of one’s people, all for short-term selfish economic benefits and “well-being” – and even the “well-being” is suspect because the demographic changes bring proximate, immediate consequences that are unpleasant to natives.
Read this. Emphasis added:
My solution to the demographic problem is the exact opposite of what the System is proposing and doing. My solution is to stop enabling nations and populations engaging in reckless demographic behavior, said enabling manifested by allowing Western nations to avoid the consequences of their selfish hedonism and allowing the Colored nations to avoid the consequences of endless population growth and poor management of their own nations, via the safety valve of transferring their excess population to the West.
Thus, I advocate zero immigration – absolute zero. Force the Western nations to face the consequences of their demographic choices – the shrinking and aging population, worker shortages, shrinking economies, problems in funding social welfare including caring for the aged, etc. Force the Colored nations to face the consequences of overpopulation, youth unemployment, restless young men, mismanaged governments and economies. Using the Colored excess to fill in the demographic gaps in the West, and so create a safety valve for Colored overpopulation and unemployment, is a short-term solution, one that enables bad behavior on both sides, makes both sides addicted to ad hoc immigration faux-solutions, and does not solve the inherent fundamental problems in both societies. And, as stated, for the West and Western populations, the problem is existential, for, if the process continues, it ultimately means the end of the West. It will result in the replacement of the West with new Colored nations, which will, in the end, exhibit the same problems as their original homelands. Thus, the West dies and the Third World remains as dysfunctional as ever, albeit with new territories for the ever-expanding Colored populations.
Instead, the West needs to find endogenous, internal solutions to its demographic crisis. Years, likely decades, of pain will ensue, with the consequences of the shrinking and aging population and all that means. Too bad. That pain will force radical solutions so as to adapt to the new reality, possibly including accepting negative economic “growth,” downscaled expectations, less social welfare, people working long and harder, extensive use of automation, and, yes, INCREASED NATIVE BIRTHRATES. Yes, the latter will take decades to “kick in,” so the period of adjustment will last a long time. But this, however painful, will be a long-term and sustainable solution, one that allows for the survival of the West and of Western peoples (particularly if combined with repatriation of aliens already present in Western nations, which does need to occur as well). On the other side of the equation, if the Global South no longer has the safety valve of shipping their excess population to the West, they will need to take radical measures for population control and endogenous, native solutions to their political, social, and economic problems. That will entail pain as well. But it is a long-term and sustainable solution.
The reason I am forced to repeat myself every few years is that my work is completely ignored and so I see, read, and hear people make the same wrongheaded arguments, and ask the same moronic questions, over and over again despite the fact that I have already refuted the arguments and answered the questions. Readers may have forgotten my past posts, and there may be new readers here as well, so here is value in pushing out these ideas every so often, in the forlorn hope that someone is paying attention and will actually take the arguments here seriously.
