@JugglingWithEggs @AlexGallagher some women can't physically have children. Some men are infertile. Why penalize someone for something beyond their control?
@FaithinBones @JugglingWithEggs @AlexGallagher
Why pretend youre getting pregnant for the state? These fascists are pretty fucking crazy.

@kevinrns @JugglingWithEggs @AlexGallagher I agree

@JugglingWithEggs @AlexGallagher
You know what the greatest incentive for having children is a fat paycheck a stable job with good benefits and access to daycare, healthcare and affordable housing.
Oh, and politically and economically stable nation and world
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @AlexGallagher
I agree. But I fear these rightwing men who want to make the Handmaid’s Tale a reality are looking back to the historical drivers of large families and are trying to:
- kill the NHS, remove universal healthcare at the point of need, increase infant mortality
- skew science education - not only against understanding climate breakdown but also against sex education and LGBTQ+
- side with religious fanatics who don’t believe in above

Are you a woman? Is your mother a woman? Is your wife a woman? Sister? Daughter? Do you have a Granny? Aunts? Female cousins. Is your neighbour a woman? Do you have female friends? Are you a decent, respectable human being?
Then there's no way you can vote for this.
Spread the word.
Just like the Nazis.

@AlexGallagher I'll reconsider listening to this shit once he gives birth to his first baby.

@AlexGallagher I think Matthew left out the word "white" before "women". I don't think they want non-white women to have more children.
@howard
Similar occurred to me. I wondered if he'd change his tune if women said "yes I'll do that and bring my kids up as intelligent, left of centre atheist, anti-capitalists!"

Matthew Goodwin, I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for a position in government, I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you stop talking shit now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I and everyone I know will vote against you. -

@AlexGallagher and how about folks who wanted larger families, but were unable by to have them? On top of everything else, should they be “penalized?”

@Npars01 @AlexGallagher also hoping to create cannon fodder for whatever war they start (or continue) in 15-20 years
I saw once this "demographic bell curve" of Russia from 2010s (before the war started), marked up "surplus male population". It appeared to be from somewhere like Wikipedia and/or a University, not some fash place and was simply making the bald statement that there were that many "surplus" young men in Russia, it simply doesn't make that a big dent in the population (or prevent it from still growing to some extent) if a lot of them are sacrificed in a war. Which is exactly what has happened just a few years later..

Russia has been in a population decline for at least the last decade. Killing off hundreds of thousands of men of breeding age is going to lead to a massive population crash, which is why Putin is stealing Ukraine's children! -
@AlexGallagher Why are the metro interviewing this loser? If they wanted some edgy moronic vox pop they could have asked some black cabbie on Smithfield. Probably response would have been more entertaining and less detached from reality. These shitheads have already bankrupted their first council with corruption. Change of prison clothing is the only thing that should be coming.
@nf3xn @AlexGallagher Mostly because it's picked up and read by the credulous on the bus.

Certainly Putin is stealing Ukraines children, but like other oligarchs him (and his supporters) are likely also preparing for worlds where fewer people are actually needed to keep countries running (we are even seeing it in the West with the pivot to AI and companies all being run as lean as possible)

China has the potential for an insta-army.
After decades of femicidal one-child population policies, there is a gender gap, with more men than women.

A declining world population might help slow climate change though.

@AlexGallagher Mat Godwin had a rather short marriage, and has a daughter aged approx four years old. According to Wikipedia, He and his wife divorced in 2025. Big ‘she doesn’t let me see the kid’ vibes.

Oh, yes, I remember now - the media is mostly owned and controlled by the fascists!
