Ohh, did someone let their young population die in an invasion?!?
Less to do with the SMO and more to do with the population drinking themselves to death since the Tsars.
Most people fighting for Russia in the Special Military Operation zone are old and the old aren’t contributing to population growth much.
Oh, in the videos I've seen they all look extremely young. But maybe that doesn't paint the whole picture.
These young are from ethnic minorities, they don't count.
Sadly, you'll want a /s on that if current events are any indication.
There are other sites than PornHub, ya know.
Average age of a Russian soldier in Ukraine is around 50.
Citation very much needed. Especially because it is a load of bs.
It is now...
The invasion also drove quite a few people away from the country that are of an age to have children.
Indeed, and it probably resulted in some nasty brain drain.
Another strategy - fucking during breaks.
"Being very busy at work is not a valid reason, but a lame excuse," he [Health Minister Yevgeny Shestopalov] said. "You can engage in procreation during breaks, because life flies by too quickly."
Asked when people who work 12 to 14-hour days would have time to procreate, Shestopalov replied: "During break times."
I believe they also have special fertility camps for young couples.
This ties in sexual aspects of fascism - the control over fertility and the obsession with the correct kind of sex.
This has to be the weirdest porn/hentai scenario around
So they can send their boys to die. Nice
More meat for the grinder.
You wear pretty red dress, you get baby.
*we get baby
And they should smile more, too. /s
Russia’s demographic collapse would be a boon for humanity.
All the smart ones have already left anyway.
I wear a mini-skirt regularly and have never got pregnant once.
But I suspect that is due to my dick and balls dangling out for all to see.
“Because of modesty, women are getting married less often,”
How about "because of the war, women are getting married less often,” or "because of the bad economic situation, women are getting married less often,”?
On the other hand, as a normal, breathing, warm-blooded male, I have to admit that more women wearing mini-skirts is something I would definitely not object to. Maybe not in Russia, as it is too far away, but in general...
We can also add: “because of increased communication, women are feeling more confident about ignoring all the shitty men who can’t clear even the lowest bar.”
Seriously, absolutely wild how low the standards are right now and how so many people still can’t hack it. Love is love, people will marry and even have kids with someone they really care for ni matter the situation but if they can’t find anyone who can handle a baseline level of respect for their personhood and autonomy, well, they certainly aren’t gunna be getting married or having kids.
Next headline from your favourite conservative tabloid: "Women are getting unreasonable standards"
Gotta be feeding the meat grinder.
Gee, I wonder why Russians aren't making babies. Is it the economy and cost of childcare, like in several other countries?
Nah, it's the wimminz, they should wear more slutty outfits
Has anyone noticed lately the uptick in overly cute videos of Chinese parents playing with their kids on social media every fucking day in the last month? They're on the front page of reddit everyday new video, and they all have weird musical multi camera fake vibes around them.
This is not a conspiracy theory, they are all astroturfed to maniplate mellinial couples to produce the next generation of workworms for the companies owned by CCP billionares.
That's not how making babies works. That's not how any of this works!
I support this, of course.
Seems like no matter what country you go to these people are just weird and gross.
C'mon women! Be fuckable!
ruzzian women... Must keep shopping to loose weight! But no shops! What to do? Vindo shopping!
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
