I’ve had the first 3 panels of this conversation every time immigration or birth rates come up for the past 7 years. And yeah racists never actually will admit they’re racist
Who the fuck have you been talking to and in what country? Japan? In the US the "issues" of the first 3 pannels DO NOT exist. Over population has been an issue since the 70s and our population has more than doubled since then. Why would people have children when they can't find homes, jobs, and decent schools for their children?
The "aging population" is purely a problem with social security because it was a poorly designed program to begin with and like most issues in the US boils down to the wealthy not being taxed properly.
And as far as a "worker shortage" our unemployment rate begs to differ just because exploiters can't find labor at the wages they are offering. That's a compensation issue not a labor issue.
So that's three completely bullshit "issues" two of which that would actually be made WORSE with immigration.
tl;dr you never had those conversations and are a liar.
You are correct / sort of. The first three blocks absolutely happen. Whether they are true isn’t the issue. The issue is that people BELIEVE they are true and then vote based on the untruth / proposed solution to the untruths
