Russian women decry plans to therapise them into having children
(www.bangkokpost.com)
Brainwash. It's brainwash. Just make more babies with the women who want to have kids. I mean, maybe you shouldn't have killed your people in a war of useless aggression?
Therapise is what a person who doesn't understand or believe psychology thinks happens with therapy. It's some vague verb applied to a person like a salve.
When you run out of people for the meat grinder, you turn women into breeding factories.
This is a bigger problem that predates the Ukraine invasion, though war also tends to be bad for fertility and some people will also die in Ukraine.

The last time Russia had a population-sustaining total fertility rate was a period in the 1980s when it spiked.
Turns out people don't want to have children when they live under fascism.
“Therapise”… they’re going to try to brainwash these women until, eventually, they will likely be put into forced breeding camps. It’s disgusting.
If only there were some way to provide a society where women felt safe, secure, and comfortable to willingly bring in and care for new life. If only.
And if only that way was more profitable than treating your people horribly.
In Snow Crash, dentatas seemed like one of the more effective deterrents.
How long before the billionaires start forcing this? They'll start with the poorest white women, then move on to all white women. Forced enlistment for all males, and forced pregnancy for the white females. The forever war needs grist for the mill, the number must go up.
This was already tried. Romania is the prime example. The end result was kids being dumped into vastly underfunded orphanages. It isn't the recipe for indebted hard working consumers they think it is.
I would enjoy psychologically destroying a therapist who tried this with me. I removed reproductive organs to avoid children so it would be worthless on their part but I can unload on them until they commit suicide.
Russia's motto: ...and then it got worse.
If the US wasn't dealing with a conservative plague in government we would be the perfect country to annex Russia. Plenty of practice overthrowing dictators. We need oil to support the three largest militaries in the world. Could even give sections the option to form their own country instead of joining the USA.
Yes, yes, annex bad but Russians don't even like their leaders and Europe isn't about to do anything to stop their governments meddling.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
