"When human beings are dependent on others for the most essential needs, the most moral response ought to be gratitude. But dependency also tends to trigger resentment and anger, which I think is part of the contemporary British condition."

A #sociology and demography professor explains who #immigrants to the U.S. are, where they come from, and where they live. https://theconversation.com/who-are-immigrants-to-the-us-where-do-they-come-from-and-where-do-they-live-247430 @sociology #immigration #demographics
No I'm not. I am experienced enough to recognize a demographic marketing mismatch though. Even if they're going for the right wing "don't tread on me guv'nment!" privacy crowd on X, then it's still an obvious mismatch to market it here. How many "X? Hell yeah!" comments do you see replying to their toot?

Did you know? 94% of people in this region live in just one area, while only 6% reside in another. Mind-boggling population density disparities!

“With Obama in charge, the Democratic Party was fine as it was. It was the rural base that needed to change. But change could happen only after the rural mind had been mapped out and conceptualized.”

This is real reason of current demographic collapse of most of the countries on Earth. Childlessness.
Hungary is just an example, but the graph would look similar for almost all countries of „civilised West”.

A 2022 YouGov survey suggests that conservative talking points have an ripe if uneducated audience:
“Americans tend to vastly overestimate the size of minority groups.”
— Trans people: 21% but actually 1%
— Black people: 41% but actually 12%
— Jewish people: 30% but actually 2%

Interesting.
This means that our (assuming this is the same in other countries than US as well) demographic collapses are not because childless couples, but rather that there are less and less couples at all.
The epidemic of loneliness and the constant promotion of individualism is doing its work.
And no, demographic collapse is not a problem of only the richest. They will feel it the least.

[as a ‘colonial’ myself (New Zealand), I have a fascination with this sort of history – and throw in some early-ish survey and national cartography not long after Cyprus was ceded by the Ottomans…]

The most important line from this interview: 93% of people over 65 are likely voters. That means they already have or say they definitely will. Only 62% ofpeople under 35 fit those same criteria.
If you are under 35, one out of three of your friends is not going to vote.
Do something about that, please!
