Demographic collapse is happening due to resource/environmental blowback, but many of the resources in question are artificial ones like money and jobs.

Demographic collapse is happening because women finally have the choice to have fewer or no children and can have them later in life due to career options.

Their wanting to do that is due to resource/environmental blowback.

> Complete aside, I hope that this happens via the demographic collapse

The problem is, there isn't _going_ to be a population collapse in developed countries. The path these governments have chosen is to import anyone and everyone in order to keep the numbers growing. Why? Because all those wonderful social programs collapse without people at the bottom of the pyramid to keep things going. The main problem is there's only so many net contributors that can be imported, so we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for people to bring in and oh yeah, they're eligible for social programs from day one. It's going to be a disaster long term, but it's the future we chose -- "I don't want kids, but I don't want the systems that are in place to collapse either, so sure, bring in the entire world, I'm sure we'll be fine."
