The solution to a low fertility rate is to… destroy the country? What’s the difference?

No one wants an actual answer that would definitely work, which is to ban or curtail education of women, ban the sale of birth control, and to tie social security retirement benefits to the number of children you have raised. The Taliban did this and it likely does more for pumping up the numbers of all their little baby terrorists than any scheme the West has concocted.

So instead we get stuff like "more money or time off" which turns out doesn't really do dick, "more support for children" which turns into a gazillion social workers up your ass for the tiniest perceived sin in raising your child, or "free childcare" with the caveat that if anything goes wrong our glorious progressive family courts will absolutely financialy ass-rape you taking 20% + alimony + half and now you have to pay taxes for everyone else's "free" childcare out of that leaving you nothing more than a van to sleep in while your liberated ex-wife buys a nice pair of shoes and a new car with the latest check.

As it turns out birthing and raising children just really fucking sucks, and people can "release" their need to give parental energy 99% of the way by having 1 child that they just give more attention to without all the drawbacks of pumping out 3 or 4 more. There is no flowery Western Karen pleasing program you can wrap that up into.
