When there is nothing to die for, there is nothing to live for

I heard this quote recently as an explanation for the low and still declining birth rates. Without God, nation or a grand idea, there is nothing to fight and die for and thus you focus on surviving and enjoying whatever earthly joys you can get. That takes away any drive to procreate and continue the bloodline into the future.

Things being expensive are not the reason why people don't have families and related policies make very little difference.

This is why depression is so rampant in the west, despite our material conditions being leagues better than our ancestors, we have a completely godless and nationless society. Those are the two main things to motivate men to work, fight, and start families. No man is going to want to start a family in a Materialist hellscape, and he certainly wouldnt lay down his life to defend it.
