Fanno finta che non sia successo niente.
C'è chi non sa, ed è pagato per rimanere nell'ignoranza.
E chi lo sa - molti più di quanto pensiamo - ed è pagato per sembrare ignorante.
E chi lo sa, cerca di farlo capire agli altri, ed è per questo attaccato dai primi due gruppi.
ITALY IS DYING — AND THE NUMBERS ARE BRUTAL
Italy just recorded its lowest number of births since 1861.
Only 355,000 babies were born in 2025, while deaths reached 652,000 — a net loss of nearly 300,000 people in a single year.
The total fertility rate has collapsed to 1.14 children per woman, far below the 2.1 needed to sustain a population.
This isn’t a temporary dip.
It’s a long-term demographic collapse that threatens Italy’s entire future: shrinking workforce, collapsing pensions, aging society, and disappearing regions.
Without massive immigration, Italy’s population would be shrinking even faster.
This is what happens when birth rates stay critically low for decades.
Italy is the clearest warning sign for many other developed nations heading in the same direction.
