Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Partially. Immigrants are a solution to the 'I don't have workers right now, or a time machine' problem. Fertility and family promotion is about having the people to support you decades from now when you want to retire. Immigrants do tend to have a higher fertility rate, which helps, but it's still just a small part of the solution.
Immigrants want to be there. They literally choose it. Not always without coercion, but they choose it.
Immigrants are not mystically better at fucking. They're just people coming in from elsewhere.
Why tell people to fuck more? What's the actual problem with a shrinking population? If automation gets better, and it has, you can just have more of your population go into medicine and nursing and science than making linegoup at the linegoup factory.
Immigrants have a statistically higher fertility rate than the native population in every advanced economy. It's not a judgement, just reality.
The problem with a shrinking population is that it requires constantly higher taxes on younger generations, who will be under financial stress due to poor asset appreciation. Leading to political upheaval, and all it's assorted fun pass times.
For example, US social security won't have full funding in 6 years. There are several simple fixes, that are all politically toxic. So it's not going to happen, until extreme events make it happen, or remove the need through mortality rates.
I decided to respond to this for the benefit of third parties:
Notice how our faschy friend here thinks it's easier to fuck with the preferences and lifestyles of an entire country, completely derail their lives, and create *even a single person,much less the tens of millions that would be required who would exist solely to support the insane logic an archaic century old government program whose perameters-not even logic-just numerical variables-are changeable with the stroke of a pen, and that we should continue to have this government, and keep it our organizing principle.
Statists are blatantly insane, and will never hesitate to impose the map on the territory, no matter how much violence it requires.
I made no statements of preference. Don't put words in my mouth to make up for your lack of comprehension.
Your personal pet theories are meaningless if they're unable to affect the world because you can't accept it as it exists now.
Your entire theory here is about changing human behavior on the scale of a continent, in ways that are proven to fail, because the population having statistically darker skin makes you uncomfortable.
But I'm the one with no grasp on reality.
bye bye broken bot.
Yes, anyone you disagree with is a bot.
Why do you think their numbers differ? Why do you care?
Never mind, you're fully linegoup pilled. Not worth talking to you.

It's not an opinion, it's a studied fact.
Not what I asked, meat.
