“A woman’s purpose is to procreate" -Putin
(www.nbcnews.com)
When will these people just die already?!
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.
Tbf, people moving from rural areas to more dense and urban areas is kind of inevitable as time goes on. Megacities when?
And why is that “inevitable?” Is it because capitalism makes agrarian life basically impossible?
The problem with studies based on any current trends is that they are all framed with the assumption that capitalism will continue to be the dominant socioeconomic system.
Currently the earth is overpopulated and many parts of the world are only just starting to slow their population growth. The problem of crowding is going to be here for awhile. Eventually it would be great if we could reduce our population to the point where there's plenty of space for all, if that sounds utopian to you, but for the time being we're going to have to live in denser areas if we want to deliver amenities and services to all (and we do).

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

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.
If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.
Who said it? Putin or JD
Yes
"Putin's purpose is to lick my dog's butthole" - me
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...
Putin is now leading polls in the south.
If Putin is doing it, then Republicans are not far behind. Look for that bill that taxes single people way more.
Vance is already talking about it.
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.
sure. in putins russia. just like a mans is to die after insemination in the military.
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.
Russian men are being inseminated in the military?
of course. its lonely in the front.
Rape is rampant in Russian military and prisons.
I thought a woman's purpose is to seize the means of production, just like a mans?
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
There’s this shit, and there’s people right here on lemmy that worship the ground this piece of human filth walks on.
I don't think you should take the words of paid actors seriously in that context
Oh I don’t. But the fact that there are people here that will, does concern me.
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 🤔
"you will make us more wage slaves or you will be jailed"
"and a man must fuck around and find out" - also Putin
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.
He really is running low on soldiers, isn't he?
Putin’s job is to bounce on my dick.
Fuckin shorty mktherfjcker im so sick of that twerp and everyone who thinks like him
Where have heard this before? Hmmm.
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.
What do humans learn from the past: That humans don't learn from the past: https://www.statista.com/statistics/896181/putin-approval-rating-russia/
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.
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.
No, that's a woman's specialty.

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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.
