It's either that or watch the island get depopulated in two generations and have a bunch of 60+ year olds trying to run a society alone.

The birthrates are worse than they look because when 1/5th of the population are migrants who still have kids they prop the rate up.

Consumerism, "naturalism," empiricism, and materialism turned out to be the equivalent of a cancer, memes that tear through their host and cause population collapse.

This is very ironic because many naturalists, due to empiricism being self-undermining and collapsing into skepticism in myriad directions, have hitched their ship to the idea that:

>Naturalism is true not because of any metaphysical theory of truth that can explain truth as such, but merely because ideas/memes undergo selection pressures. Materialism and scientism are true because they are more adaptive!

But of course, when secular urbanites in the West will see their population collapse by 2/3rds each generation it's obvious that this ideology isn't adaptive. It's the equivalent of the Black Death, just strung out over a longer period.

>>24970659
You can still do this with your wife and kids if you aren’t Icelandic. Wait, you are married to a book loving women with several children who read, right anon?
>>
>>24970718
Horseshit. As labour supply for the roles the young working population occupy decreases their value increases and having more children becomes more of a boon than a burden.
Iceland didn't drop below replacement rates consistently until like 2020 thanks to high levels of teen pregnancies, likely due to a culture of drinking that's now been socially engineered out of existence. The last population boom was in 1988.

This is the neoliberal lie. That people are exchangeable and birth rate line must go up.
> Consumerism, "naturalism," empiricism, and materialism turned out to be the equivalent of a cancer, memes that tear through their host and cause population collapse.
Which makes this hilariously ironic. What fucking side are you on? Of course growth can’t be eternal and watching populations coming down is solving the problems of resource use and pollution we’re told to be worried about. Now we can subsist thousands of years longer in areas already resource exploited and farming that drives the earth barren of topsoil can get enough time in rest to return to balance.
Except no we can’t because the neoliberal shits can’t handle an economy not fueled by anything but population growth so now we must import the third world forever (since their birthrates also drip) even though that “solves” nothing since it’s kicking the same can down the road and we’ll face depopulation anyway.

So what’s the point? Let’s figure out how to live with a stabilizing population now instead of later. It’s all just about squeezing the last drops out of a dying system for the 0.001% hooknoses at the top. Killing societies with “diversity” is just a stop gap.

Like most European ‘peculiarities’ repackaged as lifestyle trends for foreigners, it's bollocks. In all countries with cold weather and snow, including the United States, many are likely to stay at home near a heat source, drink hot beverage and engage in indoor activities. ‘Hygge’ itself a Norwegian word meaning nothing more than ‘cosiness’, a bunch of retarded hipsters gave it a deep new meaning and a few Danes were smart enough to cash in on it.

Anyone with first-hand experience of Scandinavian people would know they are bland and soulless. I have never met peoples less interested in literature and the arts. They take no interest in the classics, have no opinions, no radicality. Unsurprisingly Greta Thunberg is a Swede. These are some of the most aseptic and sterile nations there is when it comes to writing. The woman reading by the fireside, wrapped in a blanket with a grog, is indeed reading, but she is reading some pulp crime novel or Michelle Obama's biography.

I'm an Icelander living in Iceland
Its been unusually warm here this Christmas..
It went to 19°C in Seydisfjordur last night
Its been like 9°C for at least 3 days in a row in the city here (Reykjavik)
Usually December has at least freezing temperatures, but it hasn't gone down to freezing much this month

There's also a tradition here to give some kinda clothes or items made of fabric here.. If you don't get any such soft item you're said to have been "had by the yule cat"

Blaming ideology is a rationalization. The real reason is an increase in birth control, less mortality salience due to higher wealth, and due to higher expectations in living standards raising the perceived cost of having children.

Feminism usually appears after birth rates have already been in decline. This is true in the case of your pic, South Korea's birth rate was falling well before the heyday of SK feminism. What your images shows is simply a rationalization of a tendency that already existed.

Empiricism is not self-undermining; it simply has clear limits as an idea. Unlike religion, which makes big promises but doesn't actually deliver on any of it.

funny post but it misses the point, "In my culture we love food and it's so important" is just a way to observe, albeit in a very rudimentary and unrefined way, that some cultures value the simple pleasures of life more than others, eating and especially communal eating being one of them. Also confuses eating to survive with all the other things food can be culturally tied to, which is funny because it kinda proves the observation is correct.

She's radically dull, though. Her ideology is literally the "I support the current thing", I doubt she ever read a single author, left-wing or right-wing. Political correctness does spread among scandies like wild fires.

>>24971063
It's true in the sense that commonplace behaviors without significance are often construed as unique features. Tons of cultures allocate time to eating, in fact you're more likely to spend hours eating with friends in some rural shithole in the US than in a large eurocity. It's not even a cultural thing, urbanites just don't have time/social circles/space to do it.

Jólabókaflóð means Christmas book flood and it refers to the flood of new books published every Christmas.

Here is basically every work of fiction published this year, some of them are releases of older books. Not much tranny shit this year, around a third are cliche criminal mysteries. I like that there's a bunch of historical fiction.

Notice they're all miserable/stoic, from the western/Roman/Christian idea of masculinity.
The ideal wasn't a stoic Christ or martial Roman, the highest god in terms of emotional states was a manic singer. Wolves like in the Northman help us relate to what the sources actually talk about. They do yap a lot about wolves, naming people, places and groups with the suffix -wolf/-úlf/-ólf. Both the founders of Iceland were "wolves". Ingólfur and Herjólfur, King-wolf and War-wolf.

I went to Norway once as a small child, and was playing on a frozen wheelchair ramp while we waited for a bus, just sliding down it on my bum.

Icelandic schoolkids can read old Norse scrolls with little work. Around 930, 60 years after Iceland was settled and the great viking army invaded England the languages were similar enough for Egill Skallagrímsson's poetry to be understood by angloids. It was exotic but all the words shared a recent etymology.
At that point an Icelandic time traveller could make himself understood to groups across the British isles, larger Germany, Scandinavia, Russia and Ukraine. This describes the Hunnic empire + Britain which was taken by the Saxons from south of Denmark.
South of France, what was left of Spain and North Africa was Gothic before Islam so some of them might understand God's language too.

Ungrateful nigger like you had no idea how blissful it is to be able to read a book in silence with your friends, relatives, or family. These days you'll have some niece or nephew screaming and behaving like niggers in family gathering, uncs that are talking about nonsense, women like aunts or mothers that are constantly laughing like a devil with each other, and other family talks that are more likely going to lead to another conflict or so. Being able to just sit and read a book in total silence except for the sound of hot chocolate slurping or turning a page is a damn fucking bliss
