Great... How many weeks do you think it'll take Republican creeps to parrot the same proposal?
lol, if they deport foreigners, even if they don't want children, that leaves them with even less population 🙃
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in early September that his government must create the conditions “so that having many children becomes fashionable again, as it used to be – seven or 10 people in a family.”
Getting back up to a sustainable TFR of 2.1 hasn't been achieved by a number of countries that have tried. I don't think that there's any chance that Russia is going to hit between 7 and 10 via trying to control the information enviornment.
But we shall see.
Lmao
I disagree with policies that constrain speech, would not want to do this in the US, and I'm skeptical that this is going to work, but I will give them this: Russia does have a serious demographic problem, and they're at least trying to solve it.

There are a long list of points on which Russia has constrained speech that have fuck-all to deal with real national concerns and are just about benefiting the current government in power at the expense of the country. But here, they're actually trying to address a real and serious national problem.
And Russia volunteering to be a guinea pig will at least provide data that benefits everyone else. If it works, then we learn something, and if it doesn't work, then we learn something. My guess is that it'll be the latter, but this is the empirical way to determine that.
We don't have a policy answer yet to maintaining a sustainable fertility rate either, so it's not as if we have a tested alternative available.
I'm not sure "shut up and fuck... or else" counts as actual policy.
...hey’re at least trying to solve it.
Forced births by not allowing abortion or speech about not having children is not solving the problem.
Doing something to promote wanting to have children, like social supports, would be trying to solve the problem.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
