Why would you even want to stop population decline? It's, like, actually very beneficial for the ones who then live in a less crowded world : |

Liberals believe in infinite growth, and for that to happen you also need infinite demographic growth to get an ever increasing work force and mass of consumers.

They are just a bunch of weirdos.

And conservatives don't?

Capitalism is built on infinite growth.

Get out of here with your political bullshit, especially when you don't even know what you're talking about.

They are referring to those who hold liberal market beliefs. Not liberal social beliefs. Also known as conservatives in the US.
