>There are swaths of land in the US bigger than the country of Ireland that has a population density of between 0 and 1 person per 10 square miles.
Those super tight zoning laws and access to drugs still ultimately stem from capital. You’re not even arguing that material circumstances are different, you’re just arguing that the causal policies are different, which yeah no shit. That is obviously not what Matty Yglesias is saying (considering his latest foray into policy literature is this brain dead bullshit) or the original topic that Americans leftists are somehow “out of touch” for being critical of capitalism.
Yeah for sure, welcome everyone. For starters, the world population isn't going to immigrate to the US in its entirety, even if they were allowed to.
That said, there's actually a book called One Billion Americans which breaks down both how America would support a billion citizens, and why we'd want to do that.
> If the US had 1 billion White Americans Oh, but here comes the unique American advantage!
(You've got to stretch the definition of "white" quite a bit, though, but in the end it's not so critical.)
Pro-natalist policies can be somewhat effective, but especially alongside increased immigration. The US already has 1-1.5 M immigrants a year, and there's currently enough demand to spike that up by at least a factor of 4.
An interesting book on this topic is One Billion Americans by Matthew Yglesias. (One billion might seem like a lot, but if you want to compete with China you need to consider extreme options)
A cowards's move, but it is his right. It's not against reddit's rules, and he's willing to continue to contribute to the sub given his reputation. At least he doesn't complain about downvotes and responds within the context of the thread. It not like /u/thisisATHENS' deleted comment history isn't cached on pushshift if you want to understand the context of your own comments when you replied to him.
When speaking with Athens, say what you mean, mean what you say, disengage when the marginal utility of replying <0, and tag him links to books you are sure he'll love.
You’re right that I’m focusing on GDP, but I don’t think that comes at the cost of median income. Take your housing objection, that sure sounds like a boon to a local construction market in addition to a revitalized town that might have fallen into disrepair. An increased labor pool also means increased demand.
I also wanted to clarify that I’m talking about high skilled immigrants. Doctors, technical workers, foreign born students that came here for college. Put up incentives to drive that sort of growth where we drastically need more labor and that will drive demand for more low skilled labor in turn. I really struggle to see how an addition of high earning workers isn’t a good thing.
I’ve been reading the book One Billion Americans, so I’m particularly fired up about this topic. Have you read it? If not, I’d highly encourage it.
Tangential, but have you guys read One Billion Americans? Lots of really good pro-natal policy proposals in there. Big recommend.
I see you've been listening to Matt

TEN BILLION AMERICANS isn't the name of a new book by Vox co-founder Matthew Yglesias, available now on Amazon.com
US chamber of commerce, which lobbies for business, has called for expanding legal immigration
Matt Yglesias, a guy who generally takes a rather market oriented approach to liberalism (as contrasted to the more populist, protectionist, business-critical left), has argued for general expanded immigration
Wretched refuse, which argues for more immigration and discusses among other things various studies suggesting low skilled immigration doesn't actually cause harm, is written by some economists associated with cato
>How does low skill immigration benefit the country?
Labor isn't a lump. More people means more economic activity and more jobs. This helps everyone

Go find it on libgen if you don't want to pay for it. The same arguments work for any country.
How about 1 billion Americans?
https://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Americans-Thinking-Bigger-ebook/dp/B082ZR6827
As far as you can!
We can reevaluate after we hit one billion Americans.
This book makes a great case that if we use resources and energy in the right way we can continue to grow. https://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Americans-Thinking-Bigger-ebook/dp/B082ZR6827/ref=nodl_
Yeah, we should have One Billion Americans.

Unironically. It's not like we don't have space.
As another commenter noted, it is not always in a country's interests to reduce their population. In fact, many countries have tried to increase their populations.
Singapore, for example, tried to implement a Have-Three-or-More policy to get women to have more children. Likewise, Japan has historically had low birthrates, which is why they started their Angel Plan to make child rearing easier. In his new book, One Billion Americans, Matt Yglesias argues that having more people in America is necessary to maintain the dominance of American geopolitical power.
Finally, your claim that those in power are actively instigating conflict and unsafe health practices flies in the face of basic human psychology. People who are in power are still people. And few people are so callous and amoral that they would actively do such things. The fact that many countries enact bad policies is better explained by Hanlon's razor.
>your weird hate of the concept of open borders
I mean, it's far from weird. The vast majority of Americans don't want literal open borders where everyone who wants to can move to America. (As distinct from, say, limited and controlled immigration of people who contribute to America, rather than coming for handouts).
But elites, like Vox (owned by a Jew, Ezra Klein)'s top talking head Matty Yglesias (part-Jewish) does. He literally calls for 700 MILLION people to be allowed to move to America. Do you think that's a popular position, and that it's weird to not want 700 million people moving here?
>exactly what your views of minorities are though
The mainstream view of not having literal Open Borders tells next to nothing about my views on 'minorities' (and btw, soon Whites will be a minority in America!). In fact, lumping Asians, Arabs, Amerindians, Indians, West Africans, ... and hundreds of other ethnicities together as 'minorities' might indicate that you prefer White company and don't see the huge differences between those groups (which is human nature, not a bad thing per se, neither a good thing).
In fact, I judge individuals as individuals, and I judge groups as groups, and my judgements of groups are probably not precisely what the mainstream would have you believe. I can see good average qualities in people groups that are very distinct from me.
Moreover, I embrace friendships with people of other ancestries that are good personality matches for me. Obviously they should not hate me for being a White Advocate instead of a White Submissive.
>There is literally no organized Jews out there that think in the way you seem to beleive they do.
Ah, if only that were true! Now we get into the meat of the conversation.
Let's start with Binyamin Netanyahu, PM of the Jewish State of Israel. Pretty well organized Jew, would you agree? He was caught in a hot-mic moment boasting, in Hebrew, that it's very easy for him and his Tribe to manipulate American foreign policy to benefit Israel and hurt Americans and Middle Eastern Arabs. He crowed to his son (both wearing yarmulkes), "America is a thing you can move very easily".
And alas, he wasn't lying, that's the sad part! A fellow Tribesman of his, Steve J. Rosen of AIPAC (the biggest Israel Lobby on Capitol Hill, which funnels ridiculous amounts of dark money to Congresscritters and Prosticticians to get them to be pro-Israel and anti-Palestine), boasted (to a fellow Jew, not to a Gentile!!) that he could manipulate 70 Senators to sign onto whatever he wanted, on a napkin no less!
>“You see this napkin?” he said. “In twenty-four hours, we could have the signatures of seventy senators on this napkin.”
Rosen was prominent in the AIPAC Israel Lobby, that's pretty damn organized. They buy up Republicans AND Democrats, which is why Congress always shovels billions of dollars to Israel when Americans are hurting; why we're always involved in Middle East wars that make us less safe but help Israel grow towards "Greater Israel" which they want to rule "from the Nile to the Euphrates" in Iraq.
Speaking of control, even darker than buying politicians with Israel Lobby money is controlling them by blackmail of their evil deeds. Surely you're familiar with Epstein's blackmail ring, right? Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, their lawyer Alan Dershowitz, and their billionaire benefactor Leslie Wexner were all Jewish by ethnicity, religion, and allegiance.
Ghislaine Maxwell was the daughter of "Israel's Superspy", who betrayed the UK to Israel after the UK saved him from the Nazis.
Les Wexner is the billionaire owner of Victoria's Secret and a member of the Jews-only "philanthropy" (read: tax evasion) ring "MEGA Group". They donate money ONLY to their fellow Jews, and get tax writeoffs for their billions!
Alan Dershowitz is a prominent Jewish lawyer who boasted to his fellow Jews that they need MORE power over Gentiles, and started preaching to them in Hebrew! Pretty organized, wouldn't you say?
They psychologically/sexually abused Gentile girls to make them into sex slaves that they then used to collect blackmail on people in positions of power. Note that not one Epstein victim was Jewish (the Jewish religion allows the sexual abuse of Gentile women, but forbids the abuse of Jewish women: e.g. Numbers 31:47 wherein the Jews use Gentile women they captured as slaves and sacrifice them to yahweh!)
In fact, Jews have had the Chutzpah to moan that some of Epstein's victims have become """anti-Semitic""" after being prostituted by powerful Jews and having their lives ruined! For instance, Maria Farmer exposed the Jewish nature and goals of the crime syndicate that enslaved her and many others in this interview, which prompted Alan Dershowitz to bitch and moan about "antisemitism"!
In other words, according to Hebrew-preaching Dershowitz, Jews like him raping and sexually trafficking Gentile women is fine, but Gentile women speaking out about their abuse is anti-Semitic.
I know this probably comes as a shock, since it's totally against what the mainstream allows people to think out loud. It took me a long time to accept these grisly truths, since I once bought the mainstream message that criticising Jewish power is tantamount to Nazism. But look at it this way: what if what I'm saying is true? You'd expect this power to crack down on free speech criticizing it, to call names, but not to be able to refute it.
And if what I'm saying is true, surely it is the most urgent thing for people of all races to know.
Thank you for reading. This got very long-winded. lol
>there are too many people on the plane
And yet there are plenty of people with incredibly dumb ideas like this: https://www.amazon.com/One-Billion-Americans-Thinking-Bigger-ebook/dp/B082ZR6827
The case for a billion Americans is a good read on the subject. It talks a lot about immigration, but also ways to increase birth rate.
I want 1 billion Americans.
