Modernism as a Social Experiment: The Birth Control Pill, Abortion, and the Depopulation of White Western Civilisation
Modernism, in the context of 20th- and 21st-century Western society, can be viewed as a grand social experiment aimed at reshaping traditional structures of family, sexuality, and reproduction within white Western civilisations. This experiment, often cloaked in the rhetoric of individual liberation and progress, introduced technologies like the birth control pill and legalised abortion as purported tools of empowerment.
Sold as “freedom” for women to control their bodies and destinies, these interventions have instead contributed to profound demographic shifts, including the depopulation of white populations in Europe and North America by 2025. Far from benign advancements, they form the core of what can be described as a social pogrom. A deliberate, culturally embedded death cult that prioritises short-term autonomy over long-term societal vitality, eroding the familial and reproductive foundations of civilisation. As one critique articulates, “Birth control, and to a lesser extent, abortion, are bringing about the destruction of our civilisation. It is now only a matter of time before Western civilization collapses.” 1
This framing draws from historical and sociological analyses that link these reproductive technologies to a broader anti-life ethos, where sexual gratification is decoupled from responsibility, leading to cultural decay.
The Birth Control Pill: Sold as Liberation, Delivered as Devastation
Introduced in the 1960s, the birth control pill was heralded as a revolutionary means for women to achieve sexual and professional freedom, allowing delayed childbearing and greater participation in the workforce. Advantages include enabling better family planning, reducing unintended pregnancies among those unprepared for parenthood, and, in some cases, alleviating medical conditions like severe menstrual pain. However, these benefits pale in comparison to the disadvantages, particularly in their toll on individual health and collective demographics.
Physically, the pill has been linked to weight fluctuations, lowered libido, and increased risks of conditions like blood clots. Mentally and emotionally, it exacerbates mood disorders: “Hormonal contraception is known to precipitate or perpetuate depression in some patients.” 2
Women report severe side effects, such as “I tried once this winter to go on [the pill], and within the first few days I was so depressed and I wouldn’t stop bleeding. I will never be on birth control again.” 3
Another account highlights, “When I was PMSing while on the hormonal birth control pill, my anxiety became debilitating.” 4
Studies confirm that users are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, with one finding that “those who do are more likely report feeling depressed, anxious, and angry.” 5
Emotionally, this fosters instability, with users noting “mood changes and anxiety on implant.” 6
A disconnect between patients and providers amplifies the harm: “Mood changes [were the worst side effect] and I was dismissed when I mentioned it to my GYN.” 7
On a cultural level, the pill has trivialized sex, severing it from procreation and commitment: “The key point is that contraception uncouples (in the mind of the individual who accepts it as normal behavior) the relationship of sexual intercourse to babies and to life-long commitment: in a word, it trivializes sex.” 8
This shift has eroded traditional white Western family structures, promoting “cheap sex” that diminishes self-control and societal energy: “Civilisation is built largely on erotic energy that has been blocked, concentrated, accumulated, and redirected.” 9
Spiritually, it conflicts with religious teachings, particularly in Christianity, where Roman Catholicism deems artificial contraception “intrinsically evil,” as per Pope Paul VI’s Humanae vitae (1968), viewing it as violating the natural order of procreation. 10
In white Western societies, where Christianity has historically dominated, this has fostered a cultural alienation from life-affirming values, contributing to a “death cult” mentality that prioritizes hedonism over legacy.
Demographically, the pill has accelerated fertility decline among white populations. Widespread adoption has lowered fertility rates below replacement levels (around 1.6 for non-Hispanic whites in the US by 2025), with studies noting that “changes in attitudes toward the feasibility and acceptability of birth control were pivotal in the decline of fertility rates.” 11
In the US, white women have higher pill usage rates (17.8% vs. 7.9% for Hispanics and 8.1% for non-Hispanic blacks), amplifying its depopulating effect. 12
Globally, “widespread use of contraceptives… [has] the greatest impact in bringing down a country’s fertility rate.” 13
By 2025, this has contributed to white populations shrinking as a proportion in Western nations, exacerbating aging societies and cultural erosion.
Legalised Abortion: A Mechanism of Depopulation Masquerading as Choice
Legalized abortion, following decisions like Roe v. Wade in 1973, was positioned as a safeguard for women’s rights, offering advantages such as preventing births in cases of health risks or economic hardship. However, its disadvantages dominate, manifesting as a direct assault on population growth and cultural continuity.
Physically, abortions carry risks like infection and future fertility issues. Mentally and emotionally, they often lead to regret and trauma: women experience “severe mood swings” and debilitating anxiety post-procedure, mirroring pill effects but intensified by loss. 14
Culturally, abortion reinforces the anti-life ethos: “Trivial sex, in turn, leads inevitably to unwanted pregnancies, which inexorably leads to abortion.” 15
It has “helped to bring about a radical change in social perceptions of sexual intercourse, marriage and parenthood.” 16
Spiritually, it is condemned as equivalent to murder in Catholic doctrine, with Humanae vitae labeling it a “grave sin.” 17
This has deepened a cultural rift in white Western societies, where traditional values once emphasized large families as a bulwark against decline.
Statistically, abortions have significantly impacted white populations. From 1973 to 2020, the US saw approximately 63 million abortions, with non-Hispanic whites accounting for about 34% (roughly 21 million). 18
In recent years, whites comprise 32% of abortion recipients. “Birth rates fell more rapidly after 1970 in states with legal abortion.” 19
In Europe, similar trends in countries like Spain show legalization decreasing births among young women. 20
By 2025, combined with the pill, this has driven white fertility below replacement, contributing to demographic contraction and cultural homogenization.
Combined Impacts: A Social Pogrom and Death Cult
The synergy of the pill and abortion has inflicted multifaceted harm on white Western culture. Individually, they cause physical ailments, mental distress like “increased risk in mental health issues like depression and suicide,” 21
emotional instability, and spiritual voids by defying religious mandates for life. Culturally, they promote “an extension of sexual opportunity which has always accompanied [female emancipation],” leading to societal energy loss and collapse. 22
As a death cult, this pogrom manifests in declining self-control: “Birth control and abortion have freed men and women from the self-control necessary to maintain and propel a civilisation forward.” 23
By 2025, white populations in the West face existential threats from depopulation, with fertility declines attributed to these interventions: “family planning is associated with significant and persistent reductions in fertility.”24
This experiment has not liberated but undermined, turning progress into a veiled mechanism of self-erasure.
