From Bluesky user @philipncohen.com‬ @philipncohen.com 'I would love to see a counterfactual historical projection, in which the fertility blip in 1944 was momentary, and the baby boom didn't follow. Where would we be today, with the same mortality and immigration rates? Demographic historical fiction. Come on.'

Fascists often point to nativity figures when they push homophobic policies. But do we even know if Lesbian couples have fewer kids per capita than other women? What men do is irrelevant in this respect, human semen is a cheap and abundant commodity.

Always good when reality bites fascists in the ass. Italian fascists made a loud explicit election promise to decrease #immigration. Now they've broken the promise bigly because #Italy has a #labour shortage. This is because of an ongoing demographic collapse with low #nativity.

To start with, it's 500,000 new work visas for non-EU people. This is evidently not enough and will be followed by more.
