"Prostitution is fine. The sexual revolution is entirely different since it leads to otherwise normal people using each other as prostitutes. The goal of life in the West is now little more than sexual satisfaction, the greatest good in a broken, godless culture. This leads to ennui on the part of the sexual winners and anger and resentment from the losers. Cultural decay and plummeting birth rates are an unintended consequence."

t. brainlet

Plummeting birth rates are a result of increased living standards which disincentives individuals from having more children as they can better distribute their resource with fewer children.

This has been shown to be the case with any highly-developed society, Germany, Japan etc. and the opposite is shown to occur in poor countries such as Africa and the middle-east.

No one stated that it's better to not have babies, brainlet.

It is simply a description, that is, societies which have increased living standards tend towards a correlation of having declining birth-rates.

No one stated that it is a 'good' or a 'bad' thing. That is your own reddit value judgement which you have included into the discussion.

In other words, you are a brainlet that should be gassed.

Lol seriously how do you infer that middle eastern countries are poor from this? GDP growth for a single year has very little to do with living standards.

Wrong. Although birth control is certainly a factor, many east-Asian countries use very little birth control but have declining fertility rates as their living standards increase. This is true with many other countries too.

Sex is like marijuana. If you're stupid before you start smoking pot, you'll probably become a pothead. If you're smart, you'll probably stay smart and the pot might even help you. Same with sex. If your goal in life is primarily sexual satisfaction, you probably weren't going to amount to much one way or another, whether the sexual revolution happened or didn't happen. The sexual revolution didn't cause problems - it revealed problems that had been there all along. Indeed, the totalitarian mass movements had already exposed the actual key problem. The Industrial revolution created giant urban concentrations of people whose families had been ignorant peasants only a couple of generations previously. The first world now is mostly made up of techno-peasants, people who are capable of using technology in a limited fashion but are barely developed above the peasant level when it comes to intelligence and culture.
