The idiot is the jerkoff you see in the mirror. You can buffalo your
braindead peers, but you're way out of your league.
Try learning how the real world works rather than sucking the
teachers/handlers dick.
Are you even remotely familiar with world-wide demographics the past 50
years? Doubtful.

Learn some history (not the public skool variety), learn some economics (not
the Marxist variety), learn something about production, creativity and real
demographics.
In other words: Get a clue.
Or, I suppose you could just keep demonstrating your real ignorance.
Or you could just respond like the typical children, mimicking what your
handlers want to hear and understanding nothing.
In fact, I expect more of yours and "aem" (who can't even abbreviate his
name) churlish drivel.
At least you don't make idiots of yourselves in a open form like Paul Erlich
did.
