Summary
Russian lawmakers passed a controversial bill banning “child-free propaganda” to reverse a demographic slump and promote traditional family values.
The bill targets materials that promote a conscious rejection of having children and includes fines and deportation provisions.
It comes alongside existing bans on LGBTQ+ relationships and gender reassignment.
Coming soon to an American state near you!
Took me a moment to understand this headline wasnt banning “propaganda that doesn’t include children”
China and Russia are pushing their people to have more kids and increase their numbers while amplifying the sentiment that people from enemy nations shouldn’t have kids.
Because nothing says, “I should have children” than living under an overbearing autocratic government trying to control your life!
Children are future workers, soldiers and parents.
These countries see that birth rates are dropping in the west and are looking to become dominant in numbers.
I’m pretty sure their concern is their own birth rate dropping, actually. Have you seen the demographics graph for Russia? They’re facing a complete collapse of their working-age population in a decade or two
I haven’t to be fair.
Doesn’t help when you send the men to war.
promote traditional family values*produce more meat for the imperial meatgrinderRussia giving JD Vance some great new policy ideas
The only thing more pathetic and limp than this law is the men who wrote it.
LOL. Fuck the blyats. The war will just accelerate their demographic crisis.
I have a feeling that they are planning to use the survivng ukranian women and children for something.
Lmao, not like anyone is gonna want to have kids there anyway
Putin enacting a law that wont affect him in his life time…
That is not the problem. Politicians should often be forward-thinking. In the US, failure to plan more than 2 years ahead is a huge detriment to infrastructure funding. Of course, central long-term planning à la USSR that does not consider market developments is an example of how wrong the opposite extreme can go.
