Population Doom

The 2023 nationalist activist MVP of the year, Keith Woods, recently wrote an article on society and its ideal size and scale. It’s a very good article. Drawing from thinkers such as Aristotle, Rousseau, and Leopold Kohr, Woods—in a studious and methodical manner—showcases the argument in favour of societies and systems of government which maintain a small population. He is primarily, almost exclusively, concerned with the governance of society. I would have liked it if Woods expounded on how the size of a society affects the health of the populace, the natural environment, jobs and housing, and the relationships amongst citizens. This is not a criticism of Woods. He wrote the article he wanted to write. I’ve never approved of those who criticise something because it wasn’t done exactly the way they would have done it.

As Keith shows in his article, population size has been a subject of much attention and debate for centuries. In recent times, we have seen the matter become the centrepiece of immigration policy, economics, and conspiracy theory. While some advise that we in the West must continue to import hundreds of thousands of foreign peoples into our countries because our birth rates are too low, others encourage us to have fewer or even no children at all in order to save the planet. While some accuse ‘the elites’ of carrying out a covert depopulation scheme, others point with a trembling figure at the projections of exploding populations across the Third World. While many public figures celebrate the ‘childfree life’, others practically shout that we need to be making more babies. It’s all become rather messy and tiresome, to be frank.

So before proceeding any further, let us first dismantle some of these claims as much as possible.

The Satanic Cabal Wants To Wipe Out Humanity!

I don’t mean to insult conspiracy researchers. My use of the term ‘conspiracy researchers’ rather than ‘conspiracy theorists’ is a sign of deference made intentionally. I am well aware of the stigma associated with the latter term. Nevertheless, I cannot do much more than dismiss completely the idea that ‘the elites’ want to depopulate the planet. There is evidence of a persistent drive to reduce the number of European people and replace them with non-European people, but evidence of a sinister plan to reduce the numbers of all people on Earth is lacking. If ‘the elites’ do have a depopulation agenda, they’ve been going about implementing it very badly.

The majority of ‘mainstream’ anti-globalist personalities who clamour about the ‘Satanic cabal’ and its misanthropy lack either the courage or the intelligence to see and speak about the observable fact that the numbers of white people are decreasing, especially relative to the numbers of non-white people. In Asia and Africa in particular, the population goes ever up and up, largely thanks to the efforts of the very same ‘Satanic cabal’ that Alex Jones and company tell us are trying to exterminate all human life.

The Satanic Cabal wants to depopulate the world by giving billions of dollars to people who would die without aid from the Satanic Cabal. Doesn’t make much sense.

Alex Jones and those equally too cowardly or too dumb to see that the real depopulation is of European stock will proclaim that the dodgy COVID-19 vaccines are proof that ‘the elites’ are devising new ways to reduce the population. However, we can observe that this doesn’t seem to be the case. The vast majority of Africans did not get vaccinated against COVID. In fact, the COVID vaccines were essentially withheld from Africa, and the Western countries whence came the vaccines were accused of hoarding them. So if the COVID-19 vaccines were a depopulation tool, once again we see that the ‘Satanic Cabal’ failed to utilise their tool where controlling rising populations is actually necessary. That’s not to say that these vaccines have not caused adverse reactions and the deaths of many people, nor am I ruling out the possibility that the vaccines might be part of the planned depopulation of white people, but the way the administration of the vaccines played out indicates that they were not intended to depopulate the entire planet.

‘Ah!’ Says Alex Jones’ number one fan. ‘What about all the vaccine trials and medical experiments conducted in the Third World on human guinea pigs?’ Yes indeed, what about them? Those experiments display two perhaps concurrent possibilities. One is that ‘the elites’ are not much different from their colonial ancestors, despite all their blustering against racism and colonialism, and are happy to exploit ‘lesser people’ for their own gain. The second is that ‘the elites’ don’t conduct medical experiments in the Third World because they want to kill Third Worlders. Like many a liberal, ‘the elites’ of the liberal world order are in fact latent white supremacists who believe that it is their duty to elevate the lower races to higher planes of existence. What are the experiments intended for? Presumably for the eradication of deadly illnesses. Deadly illnesses are rather prominent in the Third World, making it the ideal location to try to treat and eliminate them. For every Third World child that was harmed or even killed by a test-run medical treatment, there are countless more whose lives have been saved.

Therefore, I am demoting those who claim there is a global depopulation agenda from honourable ‘conspiracy researchers’ to counterproductive and embarrassing ‘conspiracy theorists’.

Line On Graph Go Up!

So if there isn’t a secret scheme to bring down the number of all humans living on the planet, what is really going on? Far from drawing up plans to bring down populations, ‘the elite’ seem rather keen on increasing populations, or at least non-white populations.

All over the world, and particularly in the West, the refrain sung by almost every politician, pundit, Ivy League professor, and economist (the real elite, not Hollywood wine-aunts) is that we need to find ways to boost populations. The preferred method for accomplishing this? Importing more people into your country, of course.
