Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the lower house of parliament and an ally of President Vladimir Putin, said a new bill would tackle the “ideology of childlessness.”

      Contrary to popular belief, you are actually factually spot on. It is all described in detail in soviet-era files, locked away.

      Even JD Vance confirms this, ans I challenge FSB to release any documentation that disputes it.

    Anyone who can look at a human being and say “this is what your just do no matter what because of what parts you have and nothing else” doesn’t see others as full people.

    All living things purpose is to reproduce, that being said, If your leader tries to restrict your freedom’s to your most basic instinct you can probably find a better value with someone else.

        It doesn’t matter. If a living thing “chooses” not to reproduce, it will not pass on its genes, and that decision was detrimental to the species. As such, it no longer exists. This could still be considered a choice, just a flawed one. However, this has taken place trillions of times throughout history, and anything that made that choice was weeded out. You might not understand your purpose, and you might die before fulfilling it, but make no mistake: you have a deep evolutionary instinct to prioritize reproduction over anything else. Everything else consists of instrumental goals that emerge from the primary goal of reproduction. It is literally mathematically, scientifically, psychologically, sociologically, experimentally, and simulatively PROVEN—to the extent science can prove anything and even further thanks to mathematics.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

        Incorrect, you can purposely build things, you can build a birdhouse for the purpose of housing birds, a factory can build a car for the purpose of driving and cells can build a human for the purpose of reproduction.

        Oh I don’t. But the fact that there are people here that will, does concern me.

        People will probably say hexbear or .ml, but I’ve been browsing hexbear lately and haven’t seen any of that. In fact today I saw a post bringing attention to this particular topic (Russian gvt cracking down against “childfree lifestyle”)

      Right-wingers reach for these religious or moralistic justifications and laws, but Putin is probably just noticing, like many other countries, that their economy is screwed if their birth rates continue to decline. And yet the planet is screwed if we continue to increase. As climate change eats away at the habitable areas of the planet, the obvious thing is for habitable countries with declining birth rates to accept many immigrants from places climate causes people to flee from. This will help those people and help the receiving country’s economy. Unfortunately the right wing is also too wrapped up in xenophobia to accept this solution. They’d rather double down on controlling women.

        I recently heard a “housing expert” say that cities have to keep growing, there’s no sustainable static level of population, and I thought “there’s better be or we’re all fucked.”

        The problem with capitalism is that it only works if there’s perpetual growth, which (as many before me have pointed out) is the logic of cancer.

        Economies are only screwed with declining birthrate if the goal is unlimited growth. What will happen if the trend continues is stability. Stability is bad for empire building types. It leaves less room for manipulation.

          In any country with public healthcare, there is a problem with how to afford to care for the elderly when the population contains more elderly people needing expensive healthcare than working people paying the taxes that fund it. This seems like a problem that extends beyond capitalism’s growth-seeking. It’s an issue of how to achieve stability.

            That is the hole you dig with the myth of unlimited growth. No doubt the correction will be somewhat uncomfortable.

      New ones are born every day, as the “women’s purpose” dictates. I wish it was a generation thing, but I’m afraid it’s ingrained on a deeper level.

    Pooty poot knows how bad off russia really is. The population has taken several generational hits in the last hundred years and he just delivered another. To him women are nothing but things and those things better be producing male cannon fodder.
