I wasn't being impolite, maybe you are inferring impoliteness into it where there is none?

Unjustifiable? Not at all.

I am fully aware of how much of a third rail my point was, and you guessed right about why I used this account to make it. Shouldn't that say something to you? I don't think I am saying something necessarily bad, but it's impossible to have a reasonable discussion about this because neither side is really willing to give any ground. I'm also glad the backdrop of this discussion was the fucking South Korean army's size as you can't really get more high stakes (for South Korea at least) than that. Yet still, we're somehow not allowed to discuss it, it's too taboo.

And why are you framing it as a conspiracy? Prima facie, is my point really that incoherent? Inflammatory, sure. But is there really no link between births in a country and that country's female population being largely in the workforce? C'mon. Please do stop this inane shouting down of taboo subjects, do not brow beat people for using anonymous accounts when it's clear why they are doing so. Discuss the issue rather than brush it under the carpet until the hump gets too large to ignore and absolute trash like Tate and friends make use of it to increase their platform. Be smart, maybe learn lessons from the last few years in politics.

Ah yes the epic downboot. That will definitely stop this issue metastasizing into something that will get hijacked by the Andrew Tates of the world. Let's just pretend until we can't!
