I'm just doing some reading on malnutrition for class, and Africans literally have a name for a disease that happens to the first born child after the second born child comes. My question is, why the fuck do they keep having kids when they know they're so poor they can barely feed themselves and the offspring they have? It's something I've never understood about poorer countries. If you know your children are dying from lack of food, why keep popping them out?

Can't afford condoms, and nothing better to do than fuck.
 
Because in a society heavily based on subsistence agriculture it means more hands to share the workload, and with higher child mortality there's a decent chance at least some of them won't survive to adulthood. Africa's birth rates have already decreased noticeably from where they were 20-30 years ago.

Really though, large-scale famines in almost all of Africa in particular are basically a thing of the past. West African countries are starting to see the opposite problem, namely growing obesity.

Makes sense actually, thanks for the genuine response. I want to say it's surprising that obesity that obesity is growing in Africa, but with the increasing amount of bullshit disguised as food being sold to us it honestly doesn't surprise me one bit

This, but you also have to remember that almost all African's are more or less subsidized via NGO's and government backed charity organizations from the west. This enables them to keep fucking and having kids without much worry about being completely unable to support them. A lot of these charities also focus on medicine and food for children, which has increased their odds of surviving, whereas in the past they died like flies and thus pumping out kids was simply what they did. Its hard to change that mindset in only a few generations for most Africans.

Much like every charity though, it destroys the local economies by making it impossible for local businesses to compete against "free". So they are essentially subsidized into a permeant poverty (much like in America with African Americans, who alternatively pump out shit tons of niglets for gibs).

Add on that African's have a biological tendency to not factor in long term planning (as shown in IQ tests which are partially biological), the strength of religion in their cultures which forbids contraceptives (along with the again the costs) and the high mortality rate (relative to the rest of the world, compared to the rest of African history its the lowest its ever been) for youths, and the low average lifespan in general, which only encourages families to pump out more of them to make sure there are enough survivors to do the agricultural work.

Its really just a covalence of factors that adds up to African families growing massively in size.

why did the poor people in victorian london keep having kids? because a majority of them would die before they became adults
 
It's simple. They are poor. What's the one fun thing you can do that feels good and is free? Fucking. They literally have nothing else to do but fuck.

The same reason poor people anywhere have kids. Have you ever heard of the spike in births that come after people are stuck in their houses for a long time like during a snow storm or lets say a pandemic where the government shuts everything down and tells people to stay inside their homes and starts giving them free money. People don't have anything else to do. They can't or aren't working so they fuck. Then about 9 months later a baby is born.

Now in the West we kind of went through a reform. We stopped being nigger tier and stopped having kids we can't afford. For many this means no children at all. It doesn't help that most of the economies in the Western world are so awful people can't even afford to have 1 or 2 children anymore which was considered the nuclear family. A father mother and two children. The only people having kids in the US are niggers and other shit skins. Especially the beaners which are basically just niggers from south or the border. The government is paying them to breed. The government does not pay whites enough to breed. If they did you might see more white people. Can't have that though.

Now there are still some nigger tier white people out there that do have kids they can't afford. It's just that the number of these people are in decline. There isn't enough of them, and they aren't having enough kids to keep white people from going the way of the dinosaurs and dodos. The vast majority of your population came from poor people. The poor working poor working class lower middle class and some of the middle class. The upper middle class and higher never really had that many kids. Most of the population came from poor folks. This is back when things were a lot cheaper. There was a job on every street corner and so on.

Now you have to get into the why. Why do all these dirt poor niggers have so many kids. It's because they are stupid niggers. They don't have any education. Niggers are retarded and don't know any better. They also have nigger tier self control. Being this way also makes them very selfish. They don't care what happens to the kids as long as they get their cummies. They don't care if the kids die of starvation or not. As long as the nigggers get their rocks off and the sheboons get their tingles. What happens to the kids it doesn't matter them. Most whites are not this way. At least not anymore. At one point we kind of were. But like I said we went through a reform period. The niggers in Africa never had this. Hell, niggers in America never reformed either. That's mostly because of the welfare system. Again, paying people to breed. The more little nigglets they have the more welfare they get.

When you see the little nigglets in Africa starving to death this is just nature's way of keeping the nigger population in check. It's because the niggers are having more little niggers than they can provide food for. This what you don't see happening in the US thanks to the welfare system. But you will see the West try to interfere in the natural order by sending aid to Africa. So when you hear about niggers dying of starvation or disease in Africa just remember it's because there are too many niggers and nature is trying to get rid of some of them. It's trying to bring things back into balance. Stupid white people in the West would love to stop this but the problem is just too much for them to intervene. Don't feel bad. It's just that there are too many niggers.

Does this happen in poor slav countries? Poor american countries? Poor asian countries? No?

So the common denominator isn't "poor countries" specifically.

And if you want to understand why, try and do any type of work in those countries for 2-4 weeks and you'll understand and also deprogram your false perception about these people.
 
Because it means more resources for them. As was explained to me in college by an African professor, Africans tend to be very communally oriented. A village, or nowadays an urban neighborhood, is populated by extended families and in-laws of each other, who are all responsible for looking after their distant relatives. The more kids a family has, the more they can marry the daughters of the other families, or marry their daughters to their sons.

It also means more work. Child labor is expected in Africa, so African children traditionally helped on the farm, the fields, the cattle herds, etc. Today this has been expanded into all sorts of awful jobs like child prostitutes or the kids in Ghana who sort through international scrapyards to look for hard-drives, which they sell to organized crime (this is how Africans can get your bank account info) who once they go through it, sell it back to the kids so they can bake the gold out of the hard drive (or motherboard/other computer parts).

And if you're wondering, yes, this is part of why Africa is so corrupt, because if those kids grow up and get into politics, they are socially expected to send money back to their village/neighborhood. And yes, displays of status go a huge way in Africa, so that's also why politicians do shit like buy expensive foreign cars or most famously, when the dictator of Ivory Coast moved the capital to his home village (an insignificant place) and built an enormous cathedral there.

It used to until very recently. The neo-Malthusian Bible "The Population Bomb" was written during a time when Latin America exploded in population (i.e. Guatemala went from 2 million people in 1921 to 17.6 million in 2021). The Russian Empire's population more than tripled during the 19th century, and it took two world wars, a civil war, famine, an insanely high level of emigration, and intensive communist family planning to keep the population low in the 20th century. The infamous "One Child Policy" was put in place because Mao was absolutely terrified by the sheer number of people being born.

Africa can't have family planning because in addition to religion, they are all very tribalist. Not having more kids means the other tribe is having more kids. The government is usually controlled by one tribe and their allies, so the government does not want to offend their own political allies and rival tribes consider it a plot against them. This happens everywhere, hell that's part of why blacks in the US have more babies because they ain't listening to no cracka telling them to use birth control/get a vasectomy.

The same reason that animals breed without looking towards long term survival - They just don't think about it. You need to remember that Africans and Afro Americans are virtually incapable of long term planning and delaying pleasure. Actually a lot of animals have more planning out than Africans.
