 The demographic crisis in the East is different from the one in the West. In the East, people aren't having kids because their countries are full, real estate prices are high, and there's nowhere to put them. It's a natural problem to have, and growth will drop for a little while, and then people will die of old age and people will have kids again.

In the West, people aren't having kids because, consciously or otherwise, they see that they're being demonized by the regime, and they see that they're essentially being used as bloodbags for a neverending horde of third world parasites. Nobody wants that future for their child.
