They are finally realizing that they are not having kids and the ones they do have are getting sterilized. As such, their ideas will stop existing and the world will move back to more traditional conservative ideals/values.

Much of the current talk about population decline fixates on how low birth rates ultimately doom humanity to extinction. The demographic math is grim. To simplify, imagine a population of one hundred and a total fertility rate of around one child per two adults, as in parts of East Asia and Europe. The next generation has fifty people, then twenty-five, twelve, six, three, and that’s that. It takes time, but the trend reflects exponential population decay and a slow fade from history.
