Why do you want there to be more Americans? Is there some advantage to more people living in the geographical region?
Are you hoping that it will allow certain aspects of the culture to spread / persist?
If the latter, would it be as good to cultivate those things at home and allow them to spread on their own merit?
Or do you prefer for more people to exist under the national banner for its own sake?
- Causality1 7y agoAll of the above. More Americans puts us in a better position to compete against China and India, and we can't expect our technological superiority to give us an edge forever. My view is of course biased, but I sincerely believe the world would be a crueler place were Chinese culture and military power to replace American cultural popularity and military power.

- Noumenon72 7y agoAlso likely, "culture of life" virtue signallers will prevent you from doing what's right for you by nudges that make suicide difficult, painful, and illegal. Part of your plan should be to support assisted suicide politically. For example, Neil Gorsuch wrote a book advocating against euthanasia, making him one of the worst Supreme Court picks I can imagine. https://press.princeton.edu/titles/8317.html https://press.princeton.edu/titles/8317.html
