@panopuszek @RWApodcast I took me like 30 seconds to google this

@bulutuzay_ Not even 10 years later the serbs under Lazarević helped the Turks defeat the crusader army in the disaster of Nicopolis. Then they prevent Skanderbeg from linking up with Hunyadi to help the Byzantines. No country has helped the turks capture Constantinople as much as the serbs

@NoahRevoy You know, the dowry existed for a reason
This is why

@GroovyHorchata @WhiteBabyFac I mean, the plan is stupid alright, but a 90% drop in births over less than a century is not "levelling off". It's more in the realm of "catastrophic decline"

@GroovyHorchata @WhiteBabyFac Going by TFR the world's population will plumett as fast as it has grown. Just one example: If China keeps its current TFR, then within 3 generations there will be 90% fewer newborns than there are today. That's not just endangered, but critically endangered levels

@GroovyHorchata @WhiteBabyFac If we went by the IUCN definition, humans would be considered an endangered species

@lizisamused Malthusian theory and its consequences have been a disaster for mankind. This line of thinking was already disproven in the 90s

@ConciousLabRat This reads like the Empress Dowager's speech just before the boxer rebellion

@MoreBirths But we aren't talking about different diagnoses. We are talking about the same malady, which suddenly appeared, everywhere, all at once, almost irrespective of local circumstance. You can try multi factor explanations, but more variables only add more uncertainty. Occam's razor

@harrycabbag3 @The_Clermontian Imagine unironically saying this when the Germans already planned the start of the war back at the Imperial War Conference of 1912

@MaxHuijgen @Net_Arts Yet the state is elected by and representative of the people. That's called a democracy

@axelJr07 @RaspoutinDuRoi Impossible à dire, il n'existe aucune donnée demo avant 1930. La modélisation donne une baisse maximale d'environ un million, mais cela est dû à toutes les causes (épidémie, famine, guerre, etc.). Probablement, les abus ne représentent qu’une minorité de ce nombre.

[AvidNeocolonialist @rippppdvd]

@RaspoutinDuRoi @axelJr07 Même ces chiffres sont des surestimations. C'est impossible de modéliser un déclin démographique plus qu'un million sans faire d'hypothèses irréalistes

@11975MHz "If the US didn't provide 3% of the soviet trucks in 1942, the Soviets would have been overrun all the way to the Urals"

@BrianMcDonaldIE You probably don't know this, but "rare" earths aren't actually rare. Cerium, neodymium, and lanthanum are the 25th, 27th, and 28th most abundant elements in the Earth's crust. They are more abundan than lead, uranium, and tin. Mining isn't the bottleneck for rare earths

@AngloVarangian There were many "barbarian" emperors of the Roman empire. Including Constantine the Great whose father was either Illyrian or Thracian and whose mother was Bityhian

@WodenWanderer India's TFR dropped below replacement rate a few years ago, it's sitting at 1.9-2.0. Hard to call this explosive

[AvidNeocolonialist @rippppdvd]

@ShoahUkraine If the allies wanted to redirect Germany east, then why did they start the war when Germany invaded Poland, the one country standing in between it and the SU? Hitler might never have invaded France and western Europe if he had a clear path east and a secure western border

@BaneThe76451 @Rudo1518568 By 2100 there will only be 6 countries in the world with an above replacement fertility rate. Almost all of Africa will be in the red
