The world is 60% Asian, 18% African. If America and Europe really turn to right wing populist movements when they have shrinking birth rates, Asia is catching up to the west in terms of technology, and Africa’s population is growing, what if the west starts a fight and it doesn’t win?

I’ve just been thinking about it, white people are really confident that they’re superior because we live in a world where the west is rich because hundreds of years ago the west defeated the rest of the world. But hundreds of years ago, Europeans were a higher percentage of the world population. But if that’s not true anymore, what if next time they actually don’t win?

By 2100, Africa will be 40% of the world population and Asia will fall to 45%. So Africa and Asia combined will go from 78% to 85%. So if in 2100, the western world is 15% of the world population, I kinda wonder about that…
