Thailand grants citizenship to half a million people – but not farangs

Generally speaking, smart people do not allow anything to be pushed upon them, nor to be "instructed" with regards to how they conduct their lives; especially on how many children they have. 

Smart people choose. Idiots are "instructions" takers (and usually become serendipitous parents when proper "instructions" are not timely given).

When it comes to Thai people, they tend to be in average pretty smart, and perfectly capable of deciding by themselves what's best for them, with or without 'the "save the planet" crap'.

See the "Millgram Experiment" - obeying authority.  The same sad (terrifying) result is found in nations with higher and lower average intelligence.  Most decisions are made subconsiously, then acted-on with a conscious "justification" created.

 

The messages being pushed matter, because whether us "black-sheep" types see through it or not, we will be run through the same corrals as the non-critical-thinkers.  They will even bash us if we don't "follow the leader" with them.

If you know the Millgram Experiment, you surely also know that each experiment lasted 50 minutes only, but you conveniently decided to ignore this fact.

 

If it has proved easy to push a person to obey for 50 consecutive minutes, in an unexpected and unusual situation, to antisocial orders, the decision of consciously having children takes a long time, sometimes a decade or more, and it is usually a decision taken by two people.

 

And it really takes a lot of idiocy to stick to a decision, we would otherwise reverse, for such a long time based on brainwashing only.

Said this, I acknowledge there are a lot of idiots around, for the simple reason that the idiots' mothers tend to be pregnant all the time (grasping contraception is beyond their ability). But I doubt they are so many to cause a demographic crisis, in Thailand or anywhere else for that matter.
