Is there literally any historical precedent for the idea that a generationally shrinking population will result in a substantial decrease in the average standard of living?
>>524537487it's not a real idea, nobody actually believes that. Line go up = mass suffering, jewish profit
Actually the evidence shows the opposite, the black death lowered the population and increased per capita wealth to the point western civilization could dig itself out of the hole the collapse of the roman empire created
>>524537644That's because it killed all the old people. We now have more old people than young people.
>>524537644This. What this threatens is the rate of profit i.e. capital accumulation, and since we're ruled by capitalists they equate it with the apocalypse
>>524537975No it also increased the amount of land each farmer had allowing only the productive fields to be farmed so that 1 productive farmer could feed artisans, instead of having a Malthusian crunch where everyone is barely scrimping by on there six shity acres. The oldest brother was successful enough to buy metal work from his little brother who didn't inherit the farm instead of subdividing the shitty land to scrape by.
