Students at Cambridge University are protesting a movie about population decline that they have not seen. They say that speaking about population decline is anti-feminist, oppressive and hateful.
The film is called “Birthgap” and was made by demographer Stephen J. Shaw. He discusses the various reasons countries around the world are experiencing population decline. The student who invited Shaw to screen his film at Cambridge says that she has been subject to personal attacks but that protestors will not explain their objection to the film or rebut the film’s premise that global populations are in fact in decline as even the United Nations has acknowledged.
This is further indication that in the modern world, people who oppose ideology are too lazy to rebut. So they cancel. Watch our take on the discussion in Tuesday’s episode of Redacted.
