Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Nothing on the site, nothing, is related to that insane right wing nonsense
It just keeps hammering in is the need for more Social Spending, YIMBYism, and Mental Health
Ok, then why the domain name? Why the name of the site? Where is this decline?
I mean, at some point in this chart, the admin of the site decided “stoppopulationdecline” was the brand they were going to go with.. and yet, I see no point in this chart where the population was declining.
The only folks I hear talking about the decline of population usually refer to the decline fo the white population.
From what I’ve seen, population decline is usually discussed in terms of birth rates, and less so on the current population declining due deaths. If this site is refering to an increase in deaths as population decline, we would think we would see it on the graph.
It just may be an unfortunate name chosen. It certainly raises my BS alarm.
That Chart does not cover a lot of things and phenomena
A lot of right wing lunatics do talk about whites, especially the creepy nerds who run pronatalist.org
people also talk about population decline in reference to Asia and Latin America whose suffering from mass emigration and collapsing fertility , how people are dying younger and younger now in the western world because of austerity and corporate greed, or how young people don’t have homes because of NIMBYs to the town towns are declining, or because of economic strife
It is, however, a graph of the world population. I see your point though.
Not agreeing with pronatalism but it is interesting comparison in domain names. Pronatalist on it's cover sounds nice, like 'prolife'. Who isn't for life?! And births are life! So, hey we found the solution to the population decline, let's all start making babies, pronatalism! Meanwhile I can quickly google and see that wow, population isn't declining, just look at the graph! So, as a visitor to the site who doesn't know anything about it, "pronatalism" "prolife" and "pro-candy" all sound like nice, safe, easy things to get into. Stop population decline sounds like trying to stop a thing that isn't happening until you understand that it's a more nuanced view of population - that decline is happening but on the scale we see in the graph you can't really detect it. (Note:i don't support prolife or pronatalism agendas, i just wanted to do a thought experiment to show my point).
Fair point. It's hard to convey that in a domain name. Maybe stoppopulationdecline does that to most people already.
