Nothing anywhere says there has to be a France or a French people. And if this trend continues, there won’t be.

Births in France fell to their lowest number last year since the end of the Second World War, the country’s national statistics office has revealed. As in much of Europe, fertility rates in France are declining, while mass immigration keeps population numbers up.

Around 678,000 babies were born in France in 2023, the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee) announced in a report on Tuesday. This figure represents a 6% decline from 2022 and the lowest number for any year since 1946, when much of the country lay in ruins and more than half a million people had been killed in the war.

After a baby boom beginning at the turn of the millennium, births in France have fallen every year since 2010. The country’s fertility rate – or the average number of children for each woman – has fallen from 1.99 in 2013 to 1.68 last year.

Despite more than a decade of declining births, France’s population has continued to grow, rising by 0.3% last year to 68.4 million. Insee cited declining deaths, rising life expectancy, and the influx of 183,000 immigrants by the end of the year.

Again and again and again, NOW! is the time for emergency action of the kind the US missed in the 1980s. But if the dipshit French want to lose their country and die off, then, well, there is that option.
