@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.
@HarriettMB @AlexGallagher "Big ‘she doesn’t let me see the kid’ vibes.".....I can understand that, lol! Who wants their kids brain washed with fascist ideology?

@AlexGallagher Why does the media give airspace to these fascists?
Oh, yes, I remember now - the media is mostly owned and controlled by the fascists!

@AlexGallagher I am not from Britain and do not really follow your politics but isn't "reform" basically your trump party? Perhaps take a brief glance at what is currently happening in the usa.
@Ulrich_the_elder @AlexGallagher I'm in the UK, and you're almost correct - reform, the tories, (conservative party), and the 'labour' party are all on board with trump's fascism.
Imho, the only way to return socialism to the UK is via the Green Party - they now have the same 'fire in the belly' that the old Labour Party displayed.

All of this makes me angry. This is where folks like them want to take us. Be poor and respectful baby machines.
"A very awful right wing law that tries to define who is the “deserving poor”. It judges poor women with multiple children. Our society loves to blame women for it's lack of care of poor families. We've not moved beyond Victorian Industrial morality."

@Ulrich_the_elder
Yes, Farage is a Trump wannabe. But I've met people here who think Trump is doing OK and we should have a similar leader here. One, a retired lawyer for god's sake, told me we should have gun laws like the US.
@AlexGallagher@pthane @Ulrich_the_elder @AlexGallagher In case Trump's performance on the international stage isn't enough, at home the US is kidnapping people in broad daylight, including children. Our government is building concentration camps and threatening to do away with elections while cutting key services and driving up the cost of living. I can't imagine an intelligent person who wants that for their own country.

MATTHEW GOODWIN INTERVIEW"Reform will give incentives
to women who have more children and will penalise those who don't. Change is coming” -
hopefully this will create at least /some/ reputational damage to Reform to make them less popular - it goes beyond even what full on religious wingnuts were advocating back in the 1970s/80s (at least here in Britain as opposed to USA)

@aadeacon @nf3xn @AlexGallagher the rope only works if people understand fascism. a lot of people are too poor to hear anything complex, if you cant pay the rent or buy enough food, any change at all sounds better that what youve got now sadly

@AlexGallagher even if someone had somehow never met a woman in their life, we are human beinga first and foremost and being defined in relationship to or in terms of our usefulness and importance to men continues to dehumanise us.
