This is happening in China too btw, so I wouldn't break out the schadenfreude that quickly. Chinese birth rates in large cities are comparable to South Korea and Chinese feminists want exactly the same thing as Korean ones - no marriage, no children (unless through IVF with a white man's sperm).
China has an easier solution than Korea, however. Ban every one of those people from the social media platforms they use to spread their ideas.

Interesting part is Levent. That means Israel has less faith in democracy than everyone in Middle East?

Pretty much. It makes sense.

The Levant is the only place in the Middle East that has actual Western-style democracy, so they would be the ones suffering from it the most. Take for example Lebanon, which got all its gold reserves stolen by the US, economy is ruined beyond repair, and suffering a mass exodus as over half the population have fled the country and 100k more escape the country every month.


A practical solution in that spirit with today's technologies would be a program of mass IVF and surrogacy

Biologically speaking long-term monogamous relationships aren't that natural either Chimpanzees infact prefer a free loving community and killing of rival male's babies are common among mammals, Only under 5 percent of Mammals prefer long-term monogamous relationships, Our concept of family began to avoid infanticide within the community as numbers needed for mammoth hunting and long term child rearing associated with large headed primates necessitated it.
Sure, but saying chimpanzees practice it isn’t a great argument for why Chinese should, unless you think Chinese should become like chimpanzees? If we’re looking to learn from other cultures, at the minimum, pick ones that are worth learning from. 18th century Britain, 1950s US, Romans, Mongols, etc. that were the winners of their respective periods.

You’ll find out pretty quickly a common set of similarities regarding social cohesion, masculinity, family, etc. None of which involve women refusing to have children and preferring to be single.

Simply put, expanding cultures & empires are built on the backs of fertility and discipline; while declining cultures & empires tend towards the opposite - hedonism and decadence. A culture at war with itself cannot hope to conquer others, death cultures do not win against growth cultures.

It is actually a genius form of governance. If you have no expectations for government performance, as long as they don’t do anything outrageously bad they will be tolerated, receiving the governance equivalent of participation rewards. In other words, the only way is up if your expectation is set low.

When the mask slips to reveal that western Liberal Democrat is not meant to benefit the plebeian masses but the aristocracy ruling elite.

In China, the rulers are oppressed and constantly in fear of the people, so must do everything in their power to make sure all the people’s needs are as well met as possible; their grievances addressed and even potential risks mitigated. I know from personal experience that the entire local government leadership of a small (by Chinese standards) city were in absolute fear for their jobs because of a major traffic accident that caused a number of fatalities.

What kind of self respecting silver-spooned blue-blood princeling/princess wants that kind of pressure? The sheer oppressiveness of it! Think of how that might impact their mental health and quality of life!

The western model is far superior where you are free to do anything you want and even the most egregious criminal behaviour can be brushed under the carpet and the very worst thing that could happen is you get put on the naughty step for an election cycle or two, and then when the mass sheeple with the collective memory of brain damaged goldfish have forgotten all about your past transgressions, you can come right back into government again.

This, ladies and gentle-plebs, is why you should fear the horrible oppression a meritocracy would impose on your betters, and choose for us to live free and consequences free lives where we can fuck you all over as much as we like without ever fearing facing anything remotely like consequences. Your fucking welcome and get the fuck back to work and stop complaining about how you have no food to eat. Be creative and eat cake you morons.

Sadly enough, this lack of accountability in the west is going to be the literal death of it, what with much of the policies that any normal person should bulk at, is let through after a period of gas lighting and even worse, the people have all the tools to stop this madness, yet this keeps on happening, why and how are the people of the USA ok with living and dying in tent cities without amounting to anything

gas prices in Europe are falling even below what they were before the Russian invasion of Ukraine...
Those are spring gas prices. So what.

Remember that all imports of Russian oil derivatives in the EU have a limit (price cap). Of course that applies to any country that sells it in the EU serving as a springboard to Russia.
I see you do not even know how the oil price cap works. The EU has banned all sea borne oil & oil products imports coming from Russia.

As for the "price cap" the way it is supposed to work is any shipping companies which use G7 insurance are forbidden from carrying Russian oil (i.e. to other markets outside the G7) except if it is shipped below a price cap of $60 USD per barrel. In response the Russian government put a law into place where Russian oil cannot be shipped by anyone complying with the price cap. Period. While there was a crunch on the oil shipping industry because of these EU and G7 policies, Russian oil sold in Asia like ESPO and Sokol has been trading consistently above the supposed price cap, and even Urals oil typically sold in Europe was priced above the price cap even just two weeks ago. A lot of oil trading in Europe was made by EU companies, and those shipping companies have been selling ships they now no longer use to companies registered outside the EU and not using their insurance. Russia and other countries have setup alternatives to G7 insurance. So in the long term the market will adjust to the trade barriers.

What you ignore is that this G7 policy does not just lower the price of the oil Russia sells, but also increases the price of oil the G7 countries import. Thus making their economies less competitive versus rising economies like India, China, Vietnam, or Indonesia.

This means that Russia must sell oil, gas and derivatives at an unsustainable discount for its economy, which is highly dependent on oil and derivatives...
You say Russia sells at a "discount", but the G7 countries are buying at a "surcharge". So both are losing.

In the medium or long term, the Russian economy will continue to worsen, and its blackmail of war (gas prices for the EU) ended up becoming a double-edged sword, and in the long run Europe will continue to buy gas, at normal prices, while Russia will have to sell it cheap, which will benefit third countries more than Russia itself ... Europe was not going to freeze over from Putin's outbursts and infamous invasion, and time has only shown how weak Russia is economically.
Europe had to shut down all energy consuming industries like glassworks, brickworks, fertilizer production, steel production, etc to be able to survive this winter. And that was when they still had Russian gas for most of the year. Europe will de-industrialize. There simply is not enough LNG or ships to transport the LNG in the whole world to replace the Russian gas they consumed. And it will take a decade to build the infrastructure if it does get built. In the meantime those businesses will go bankrupt.

Russia does not have the infrastructure to store all the gas it sent to Europe, it must put it on the Asian market at agreed prices, only for part of it to end up arriving in Europe with price caps imposed by the EU... Zero benefit for Russia
The modern Russian gas fields can be throttled so they can pump less gas if they want to. Russia also has gargantuan gas storage capability which dwarfs the whole EU's. Russia can keep several months' worth of its own consumption of gas, which is huge, in their storage. And if necessary they can flare off the remainder gas. So who cares. Russia has 69 bcm of gas storage capacity, while Germany (largest storage in the EU) has 23 bcm of gas storage capacity. And the UK has zero.

remember that it was Russia that reduced the supply of natural gas through its pipelines to the EU, as a blackmail tool in its infamous invasion, and not the other way around, since Europe is interested in buying cheap gas... however, blackmail It has been a shot in the foot for Russia
Who was it that blocked Yamal pipeline with reverse flows from Germany to Poland, not allowing usage of Yamal for gas imports for much of the year, expropriated Yamal pipeline from Gazprom, failed to supply necessary gas turbine maintenance to Nord Stream, and bombed Nord Stream 1 & 2? Not Russia. It was an EU member (Poland), and other EU "allies".

No I just pointed out mongamous relationship like marriage and family was adopted by us in favour of community and if factors become favorable we would revert back to our more natural inclination all of those empires were mighty during their ascend and once prosperity for masses achieved it all turned to hedonism China would eventually turn the same it's just human nature and making use of technology to counter it isn't something to be ashamed of.

Blowback: UK's plan to contaminate Donbass with radiation.... is not going according to plan.

‘Radioactive cloud’ moving toward Europe – Russian security chief​

The hazard was produced by depleted uranium munitions destroyed in Ukraine, Nikolay Patrushev has claimed

The destruction of depleted uranium shells in Ukraine has produced a radioactive cloud which has been blown toward Western Europe, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolay Patrushev, has claimed. The UK has supplied this type of munition to Ukraine to be fired from British-made Challenger tanks.

The senior official revealed the purported threat during a government meeting on Friday, in which he accused the US of providing “help” to other nations that results in harm being done to the recipients.

“They ‘helped’ Ukraine this way too, applied pressure to its satellites to supply depleted uranium munitions. Their destruction resulted in a radioactive cloud moving towards Western Europe. They have detected an increase in radiation in Poland,” Patrushev stated.

Unconfirmed reports have circulated in Ukraine regarding the target of a Russian strike last Saturday, which Moscow said destroyed an ammunitions depot in the city of Khmelnitsky. According to the claims, the military facility was used to store British-provided depleted uranium shells. It has been suggested that the material may have been turned into dust by powerful explosions at the depot.

Russia previously warned that the use of depleted uranium munitions poses a long-term environmental and public health threat, based on studies in nations such as Serbia and Iraq, where the weapons were previously used. London has denied such a risk.

While it is mildly radioactive, depleted uranium is mainly considered a health risk because the material is a toxic heavy metal. Particles of uranium or uranium oxide produced in an explosion could be inhaled by anyone exposed to them, or contaminate the environment.
Polish authorities have denied claims that a spike in radiation was detected in the eastern city of Lublin on Monday.

Speculation about the blast in Khmelnitsky was fueled by the reported deployment of Ukrainian military patrols that allegedly collected samples in and around the city. A nuclear power plant is located nearby, but reports claimed that patrols that normally monitor the situation around the facility were seen far away from their usual routes.
