meanwhile 1000 and 1 Stinkpieces are being written about population decline, blaming young generations for not getting busy while job and housing prospects go down the shitter.

And every single one of them was written to get the worker rats to breed beyond their means and be easier to exploit.

Immigration is the answer, but racism gets in the way.

I don't really agree, because I consider labor or opportunity based immigration a symptom of continued economic injustice in the global south. Modern societies, among many other things, need to acknowledge the reality that the planet has a material limit on the population it can support.
