Key Notes
He argues that demographic replacement naturally produces conflict because the existing majority sees cultural destruction in outsider fertility and will not simply sit back.
He uses European prehistory as evidence that population replacement is a normal historical pattern: farmers displaced hunter-gatherers, then steppe pastoralists displaced farmers.
Jiang describes Proto-Indo-European or Yamnaya displacement of European farmers as violent population replacement, including killing farmer men and taking women as captive brides.
He names neoliberalism, technofuturism, world government, population replacement, and bureaucratic incompetence as partial theories, but argues the better method is to ask who benefits from the trends.
