Generation Z: most conservative generation since 1945

This might be a small sampling of long term trends in childbirth.
Since liberals are more likely to be gay, abort, or not have children the demographics would have to skew over time.

It doesn't work like that though because culture and political opinions aren't genetic. The views of peers has a lot more influence on kids than the views of their parents do. And education and the internet allow kids to form their own views. Conservatives can have all the kids they like, and those kids will grow up to hold liberal views. That's why your/D.E.'s victory through outbreeding view is just a non-starter - social effects are liberalizing kids across the world at a much faster rate than the difference in birth rates between libs and conservatives or 1st and 3rd world. If you read a bit of sociological/anthropological literature about why that is and what effects cause societies to become liberal, you'll realize the trend toward liberalization is a product of economic development and is only going to increase as the 3rd world countries develop economically - as they catch up towards the Western world economically the exact same effects that made the West become socially liberal will come into play in the 3rd world countries and make them socially liberal.

Many arab countries are developed to 1st world levels and remain some of the most conservative places on earth, so that is complete BS.

Religious fundamentalism is a debilitating condition that delays normal progress. However, over time it will gradually decline. We've seen Iran gradually move toward being a saner nation as the religious fundamentalists gradually lose their hold on power there.

No, you're completely nuts. Iran used to look like a western country, until the mullahs took power. Radical islam > liberalism, just about everywhere. See also Turkey, another previously liberal country where the Muslims outbred the liberal degenerates (but I repeat myself) and are successfully stripping them of power.

Liberalism does not spread because it's a natural consequence of development, it spreads because it's a disease that got lucky and found a host with no antibodies (western white people).

Do you know why the mullahs took power in Iran? Iran was a democracy, but the Iranian democratic government committed the grievous sin of thinking that oil profits should go to the Iranian people and not US corporate oil interests, so in 1953 the US overthrew the Iranian democracy and replaced it with a military dictator who was friendly to the US. Go the US, gotta love that freedom! (The US tried to do much the same thing in Nicaragua, supporting the dictator Batista, and then after his ousting supporting terrorists loyal to him, rather than a democratic government)

The Iranian people were understandable rather peeved and sought to overthrow the US-imposed dictator. For pragmatic reasons the various groups trying to overthrow the dictator teamed up, and some of the more zealous religious nuts ended up in charge, so when they overthrew the dictator they put in a theocracy in 1979. The majority in Iran doesn't really support such a theocracy though, so over time the country has gradually backed off the theocracy and is now almost completely back to normal democracy where it was before the US interfered in the first place.

It doesn't matter how or why, there's always an excuse for why it just so happens that Islam always beats liberalism like a rented mule, contra your assertions to the contrary

so over time the country has gradually backed off the theocracy and is now almost completely back to normal democracy where it was before the US interfered in the first place.

lol iran bans women from watching male voleyball games and many of their universities recently banned female students from enrolling in some courses, and this happened in the last few years, not in 1980. This is an absurd comment on so many levels

I'm legitimately not sure if you think that's good or bad/if you prefer radical Islam or liberalism.

I'd guess that he'd prefer Islam, but only because Muslims are less destructive than liberals.

For me personally liberalism is better but for humanity there's no question that islam (and just about anything else) is better.

Under Sharia law in Iran, homosexuality is punishable by death, and capital punishment for homosexuals is also mandated in the Islamic religious writings known as the Hadiths.
