When will these people just die already?!

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 74 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

Let's send young men to die in Ukraine then I guess, IDK...

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 7 points 5 days ago

If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.

"Putin's purpose is to lick my dog's butthole" - me

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 21 points 5 days ago

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.

No wonder Republicans love this asswipe...

[-] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 21 points 5 days ago

Putin is now leading polls in the south.

[-] Desistance@lemmy.world 40 points 5 days ago

If Putin is doing it, then Republicans are not far behind. Look for that bill that taxes single people way more.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

Vance is already talking about it.

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Russia took a more original turn: as the key interest rate approached 20% APY, legislation was implemented to subsidize mortgage to people with kids (6% APY).

With rent prices soaring along (up to 75% in some places, about 40% on average year on year), housing market simply prices out everyone without kids, making living conditions way worse.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 days ago

Ohh, my wife's ex said the exact same thing to me whilst they were still married. He's also Russian and loves Putin.

I wonder why she's his ex now 🤔

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 28 points 5 days ago

There’s this shit, and there’s people right here on lemmy that worship the ground this piece of human filth walks on.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 12 points 5 days ago

I don't think you should take the words of paid actors seriously in that context

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 8 points 5 days ago

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

Where? I have never seen this...

sure. in putins russia. just like a mans is to die after insemination in the military.

[-] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 21 points 5 days ago

No, it's just to die in the military.

The government bureaucrats will do the hard work of inseminating their daughters for them, to serve the state.

[-] HomerianSymphony@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

Russian men are being inseminated in the military?

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 10 points 5 days ago

of course. its lonely in the front.

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Rape is rampant in Russian military and prisons.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago

I thought a woman's purpose is to seize the means of production, just like a mans?

[-] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

If you're saying this ironically because you think Putin is a communist, you're extremely misguided about the current political situation in Russia.

If you're endorsing communism, based

[-] FlorianSimon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

But what do you do with them after you've seized them? Do you still have a purpose in life? 🤭

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

"you will make us more wage slaves or you will be jailed"

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 days ago

He really is running low on soldiers, isn't he?

[-] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] emmy67@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

If what he says is true men have no purpose

"and a man must fuck around and find out" - also Putin

Russian "Mother's Cross" when: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/hitler-institutes-the-mothers-cross

Also the fascists call everything an “ideology”, except fascism of course.

Putin’s job is to bounce on my dick.
Fuckin shorty mktherfjcker im so sick of that twerp and everyone who thinks like him

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

No, that's a woman's specialty.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I wonder if Putin's plan to ban talking about childless lifestyle and saying this will work? Russias are not as traditional as people make it out to be, especially those in the cities. He will just rile up many folks.

[-] DODOKING38@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

*mans purpose is to procreate

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Where have heard this before? Hmmm.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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.
