This is exactly the point I've been pressing hard for a couple of years now.
Populations, including those of Europeans, are at 'crisis levels' if your primary, or only, concern is constant economic growth and the maintenance of the pyramid scheme that is the housing market and welfare economy.
Even with the low birth rates, there are more European people, Koreans, and Japanese (and everyone else) alive right now than ever before. Now, is it important to address why birth rates have fallen so low and search for solutions? Yes, I would say so. But people have been caught up in two false premises when it comes to this issue.
The first false premise is that displayed by E. Michael Jones and the rest like him (Elon Musk would go in this category too). They only care about birth rates insofar as they affect the economy and its growth.
The second false premise is one that people with a more nationalist position fall into. This is the idea that Europeans need to start having 5-10 kids if we want to save the huwhite race and compete against countries with megapopulations like China and India.
As I have said many times, entering a breeding war with 3rd worlders who have a long head start and don't even belong in our countries is a disastrous strategy. Consider every hurdle and impedement that the system places in the path of Whites who have families or want to create one. Consider the consequences that population booms have on resources and the natural landscapes carved up to make room for those ugly new houses.
Neither do Europeans need to have a numerical superiority over other races. Europeans didn't conquer the world because they went around in massive numbers. The sons and daughters of Europa have always been more about quality than quantity. It's also worth noting that birth rates are starting to plummet in the 3rd world too. There could very well be a balancing out, followed by an ascendance of White people who have already passed through the fires of Globohomo and emerged stronger for it.
The salvation of countries with low birth rates will come not from importating the next generations, nor will it come from trying to outbreed the unwelcome and the invader. Their salvation will come from acquiring the power to eject the foreign parasitic populations and refocus the State's attentions to the wellbeing of the native people. Specifically, that means promoting families rather than State enforced feminism and homosexuality. That means providing incentives for people to get married and have multiple children. But also, the State wouldn't have to do much. When people feel hopeful about the future and have a sense of financial stability, they will make babies.

Jones is right. Japan is absolutely doomed. They only have FOUR TIMES their pre-globalization population crammed into that island. If they don’t keep up with the endless population growth model they won’t have as many people to order shit off Amazon.

🇸🇪Regarding recent developments in AfS (Alternative for Sweden).
The split (several board-members left) was due to unexciting things such as differing opinions regarding administrative technicalities and finances. Thus, there is no drama to speak of.
Since I do not know the ins and outs of this particular situation, I will just share the following take in regard to leadership and finances (so this may or may not be relevant to the situation at hand):
Saving the Swedish people is either the highest purpose of all, or it is a hobby. A hobby is something you do on the side. Taking things seriously, on the other hand, requires one's political work to be a full-time profession. I want professionals to fight on behalf on my children's future.
Gustav Kasselstrand (in this case) should, optimally speaking, not have to worry about anything except for developing the party to the best of his abilities. This takes time. Time is money. Therefore, he must have a full-time employment by the party. Anything else is unreasonable.
A large issue related to this is, of course, that there are so many wealthy Swedish men (and there are plenty of them) who do not extend their financial support to initiatives like Alternative for Sweden. It takes money to make things happen politically.
I am not a party leader, but as an aspiring Philosopher Prince, I spare no expenses when it comes to optimising my health and mental acuity (we spend a lot of money on good, nutritious food – and not much on anything else).
I endeavour to make my mind as sharp as possible. I view that as my duty as an agent of European civilisation. Pleasant or unpleasant, I do what I can and must to optimise my chances to enact change in the long-term. This takes time and money.
I am tired of the loser martyr-mentality that says that a political actor or leader must live like a monk. The duty of a leader is not to live like a monk, but to bring victory, to make the correct decisions, to set the course and set the pace.

But of course, the Russian invasion is no threat to Ukraine's existence... That's just a paranoid anti-Russian idea!
Curiously, he also accuses the West of suppressing patriotism at home but encouraging it in Ukraine... While he and the rest of the RT propaganda op does exactly the same: seek to suppress patriotism in Ukraine but pretend to support it in the West.
