Meet the Anti-Baby Activists Trying to Ensure Humanity Literally Has No Future

 

STEVEN TUCKER

Britain’s population is booming! So much so, Sir Keir Starmer has now pledged to build 1.5 million homes across the nation in order to house us all. But where will he get the workers needed to actually make such a vast number of structures? According to an unnamed “Government source” quoted in the Times recently, “There are only two ways to meet that pledge – either illegal workers, or an influx of [legal] foreign workers.” So, we need foreigners to build all those houses to hold our growing population. But where is our growing population itself actually coming from? Also from foreigners.

Based upon official data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Spectator last week ran the following graphic, demonstrating that 31.8% of all U.K. births in 2023 came from foreign-born mothers:

Without mass immigration, Britain’s population would be falling, not increasing. So, who are these foreign builders actually building houses for? Themselves and other new arrivals.

Labour shortages are so great in the industry that, already, unemployed migrants, particularly of the illegal sort, are gathering around outside building sites unprompted, on the plausible prospect of being hired, cash-in-hand, for a day’s illicit work, some of whom are effectively ‘modern slaves’. According to the Considerate Constructors Scheme trade-body, however, there is a severe potential problem: many such illegal migrant workers will not actually be capable or qualified to do the job asked of them.

This, as far as I can tell, is the Labour Government’s current logic: we need to mass import more immigrants to build houses, otherwise there won’t be enough houses to house them all.

There’s No Longer One Born Every Minute

I suppose Labour has to try something to stop our population’s seemingly inexorable march towards numerical extinction. The minimum replacement number of babies each woman in any given nation needs to have merely to ensure maintenance of the country’s present population size is 2.1; yet a report from the ONS in October revealed that Britain’s current woeful fertility rate is only 1.44 babies per woman. The ONS warned Britain was full of numerous even lower-fertility ‘baby deserts’, like Brighton, which has a mere 0.98 babies per female, most potential mothers there doubtless being ‘female’ only on a medical certificate. In the 1960s, British women squeezed out 182 infants per 1,000 females, compared to only 39 today.

The U.K. is not alone. In East Asia – particularly Japan and South Korea – the situation is far worse. Contrary to popular perception, birth-rates are even trending downwards in the Middle East, India and South America, albeit nowhere near as low as they are here yet. Another 2024 study in medical journal the Lancet predicts the total global population will soon fall for the first time since the Black Death, estimating that, by 2100, a mere six nations will still have birth-rates above replacement level.

Never mind Net Zero, humanity is heading towards ‘net mortality’ on a colossal scale. Pro-natalist Elon Musk, who has so many children himself he can no longer even give them real names, just serial numbers, has called this “a much bigger risk to civilisation than global warming”, although, to be fair, so are most things, really.

A new book, The Age of Decay: How Ageing and Shrinking Populations Could Usher In the Decline of Civilisation by South African investment analyst Shamil Ismail, contends that most of the world currently has no future for people like him to invest in at all – the sole exception being sub-Saharan Africa, the only place on the planet likely to maintain significantly above-replacement birth-rates over the coming century. By 2100, Ismail guesses, Africa’s population will increase from 1.3 billion to 3.9 billion, allowing this to become “The African Century”; current figures suggest a rate of 4.3 births per woman in Africa, although even this is down 35% since the 1970s when it stood at 6.8.

There are a number of possibilities for how this could all pan out. In the immediate term, these teeming African millions may be heading westwards or eastwards to build themselves unsafe houses on European, American, Japanese and Korean building sites, but in the long-term, as occidental and oriental labour-shortages grow ever worse due to white and Asian women sealing their wombs up forever with Gorilla Glue, the Third Worlders may be able to charge higher wages as demand for their ‘skills’ grows.

Those societies unable to afford to outbid their equally depopulated First World competitors for newly expensive black labour, says Ismail, will begin to decay and crumble due to lack of essential melanised maintenance staff needed to keep society running. White Westerners and East Asians having become soft and overeducated, elite over-production in our universities has raised an effete generation who think themselves somehow ‘above’ being plumbers, binmen, prostitutes or delivery drivers, leaving everywhere to decline into a sorry, dilapidated and depopulated state akin to that of present-day post-industrialised Detroit – No-Town, not Motown.

But, even if we do manage to entice millions of fertile Kenyans over here to drive our vans and shine our shoes by offering them wages of £500,000 per annum and as many free yams as they can swallow, won’t this ultimately just prove a demographic Ponzi Scheme? Recent research on Bill Cosby has proved beyond dispute that black men may sometimes get old and sick too, and data suggest that, over time, many immigrants adapt their own birth-rates downwards to converge with those of their low-breeding host populations, leaving us back at square one, baby-wise.

Not Bringing Up Baby

Nobody is entirely sure what has caused all this, conjectures ranging from the influence of radical feminism to the decline of religion and (non-gay) marriage, to the easy availability of contraception and abortion, to the sheer cost of raising a family these days.

It may simply be that, being a social species, humans like to mimetically ape the actions of those around them. The more people we see having no kids, the more socially acceptable this seems as a lifestyle choice, and the more likely we are to follow suit, whereas in the past, when most had large families, not doing so made you seem more of a gingerbread house weirdo. Now, childlessness – and even self-marriage, or ‘sologamy’ – can seem like an aspirational lifestyle choice.

Most pathological are the strange ideological reasons some Westerners today give for intentionally remaining barren, such as the neurotic young birth-strikers who claim they’re keeping their knees crossed to save the planet. The Daily Sceptic recently carried news of a Lysistrata-like sex strike on the part of emotionally disturbed liberal U.S. female voters called the ‘4B Movement’ who vowed to deny men access to their gametes following Donald Trump’s victory in the Presidential election. They seemingly thought the only real issue on the board during the vote was abortion, or ‘bodily autonomy’ and ‘reproductive freedom’ – in other words, if they think they can’t have an abortion under Trump, they’re not going to get pregnant in the first place, even though they don’t want to get pregnant, so much so they would have an abortion if they did. Such is today’s liberal logic.

Observe the following truly unhinged Instagram post from 4B activist Lydia Ravens, made the day after Donald’s victory, in which she commands her followers to commit suicide before they agree to bear offspring (“And [if] they try to force us… the Kool-Aid is the answer.”):

It’s often said these days that the West has some kind of subliminal death wish. Now it’s proudly out there in the actual open: demographic Kool-Aid, that’s the drink of choice for these blue-dyed acolytes of the post-Biden Left. 2B or not 2B? If you’re a 4B, it’s definitely the latter.

Miserable Les

Western Leftists have been engaging in similar politicised pubic pledges upon bizarre ideological, ecological and identitarian grounds for decades now. The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT) was founded in 1991 by Les Knight, an American supply-teacher who had his vas deferens snipped in 1973 to help put an end to “reproductive fascism”, which he defines as “the lack of freedom not to procreate” – a “lack of freedom” which demonstrably does not exist.

Knight considers humankind a plague upon the planet, and thinks we should all willingly stop breeding and die out to save the pandas (who, ironically, are currently doing rather the same thing themselves – maybe they’re somehow trying to save us?) “We’re not a good species,” Les told an approving New York Times climate reporter in 2022, “I don’t think the whales will miss our songs.”

They might miss Les’s unique brand of inverted reason, though. Strangely for such a committed anti-natalist, Knight seems to be simultaneously anti-abortion, unlike the hysterical 4B women of 2024, arguing one of the many moral benefits of there being no more babies being born is that no more babies will therefore be being killed in the womb by expectant mothers, either; shades of the professor I wrote about on this site recently arguing that if we didn’t let people commit suicide they might just kill themselves.

Here’s one of VHEMT’s logos, as featured in Knight’s old newsletter, These Exit Times:

Clearly, humans are now meant to go the way of the dodos and the dinosaurs for our own good. But what is the best method for us all to do so? How about lashings of gay sex?

Go Gay for Gaia!

Look at this demented essay by one G. Roger Denson in the online Huffington Post newspaper, in which he argues that, now gays have been widely accepted as having equal rights in marriage, all they need to complete their full existential “self-image” is to develop a key “reason for being” akin to that of heterosexuals having children – namely, not to have children, a core biological function that Denson says “makes being homosexual essential to the balance of Nature”.

The fact that more and more people are choosing to go gay these days, theorises Denson, represents Nature’s best Malthusian efforts to prevent overpopulation that causes climate-change. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more queers will consequently appear to prevent the appearance of excessive numbers of future polluting hetero-babies, thus restoring ecological equilibrium – homo-homeostasis.

Of gays like him, Denson declared: “We preserve the species. We are conservation realised. We provide nature’s… restraint… on procreative extravagance. We keep human production from becoming… overproduction… pollution… destruction unbridled. We keep the human race from becoming… an obscene cosmic joke.”

Although admitting there was not yet any proven “causal link established between homosexuality and population management”, Denson argued gay sex was nonetheless still somehow “essential to the balance of life” as, “given what we know about natural selection as an eminently versatile response to environmental endangerment, and what we know about the genome’s metabolic adaptability, it follows that humans over generations would develop [such] a mechanism within them to check and balance procreative extravagance”. Why were the ancient Greeks so famously keen on the habit, then? They didn’t have any dangerous coal-fired power-stations or internal combustion engines that needed to be put an end to by proliferating homosexuals, did they?

Denson maintains that an immediate global wave of “unrestrained homosexuality” was needed to save the planet, something which should become embedded within Government policy to “the point that the world’s nations come to encourage its practice and esteem its benefits… [as] the most harmonious way to control the population.”

If you want to see what a real queer anti-natal extremist activist looks like, meanwhile, read this previous piece of mine about the Australian academic-cum-occultist Patricia MacCormack, a weird Goth “vegan witch” and proud “species traitor” who appears to have been funded by the British state to write mad university textbooks encouraging cannibalism, necrophilia and sodomy as excellent means of depopulating the planet, along with the use of human corpses as non-polluting eco-friendly fuel. (Even though humans, too, are carbon-based entities, just like coal…)

Who’d want to bring a child into a world that has nutters like these in it? We can’t allow ourselves to think like that, though, otherwise we’ll just let them win. Or, on the other hand, is their long-term defeat in fact ironically made rather certain by virtue of their own extremist anti-reproductive message and tendencies? Hopefully, this could all turn out to be the very definition of a self-correcting problem.
