This is revealing of the weakened social bonds and self-esteem of the more woke regions of Western and Northern Europe, where there are also high levels of immigration. I wonder what the American figure is. For the record I strongly favor nationalism over globalism and individual rights over communal fantasies but I also do not believe it is anyone’s duty to have children. I do believe it is government’s duty to make life good enough and free enough that citizens are able to have children and able to want to have them. ABN
