Huh. I had actually developed some sympathy for Russia after hearing some of their policies. The last drop of that sympathy has now evaporated.

Once a Fckin' Communist, always a Fckin' Communist, I suppose. Pardon my French.

It gets worse. Russia is poised to ban MGTOW entirely!

<i>Sept 24 (Reuters) - The Russian parliament is working on a law that would ban what the authorities cast as the harmful promotion of a child-free way of life with heavy fines for "childlessness propaganda", a close ally of President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.

Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman of the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, said parliamentarians had begun to examine legislation to outlaw what he described as propaganda on the internet, in films, in advertising and in the media that encourages "a conscious refusal to have children".

"Groups and communities on social networks often show disrespect for motherhood and fatherhood and aggression towards pregnant women and children, as well as members of large families," said Volodin.

<b>"A friendly and large family is the basis of a strong state."</b>

Volodin said the draft legislation envisaged fines of up to 400,000 roubles ($4,300) for individuals found guilty of "child-free" propaganda, 800,000-rouble ($8,602) fines for state officials, and fines of up to 5 million roubles ($53,763) for companies.

When asked last Friday about a potential ban on "child-free" ideology, Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, said it was too early to comment, but that Russia needed initiatives to boost the birth rate.</i>

He illustrates exactly my post's point. Children don't come from government procurement orders. They come from allowing men to behave male, and forcing women to behave female. But healthy societies don't need a totalitarian State.

It's possible that the Russian concept of "child-free" is a specifically antifeminist one, but that would not be consistent with Putin's quoted-above statements about women belonging in the workplace. My read is that Russia is trying to coerce reproduction as an alternative to mass migration. Neither plan will work.

But they'll try anyway, because they care nothing for humanity and everything for worldly power. And so those bureaucrats continue the humanist journey from "there is no God, there is only the State" to "we must kill God again".

There is nothing that can be done to mitigate the Russian State's problems regardless. Big families are a threat to the State! Population collapse is a threat to the State. The only way around this is full State control of reproduction via birth factories and compulsory "reproductive service". I've seen that movie. The State like wouldn't survive that either.

Everyone: "Soviet Communism is the greatest scourge on humanity in history!"

The Globalists after the Soviet Union collapsed: "Hold my beer!"

"After"? Don't be ridiculous. The USSR collapsed because the USSA got tired of its fumbling mimicry. Between the Trotskyites and the Nazis crawling under our floorboards, the Cabal was already well established since AT LEAST the end of WWII.

I can't think of a better way to track Satan's progress than in Babies Murdered, so let's see... According to the Guttmacher Institute, there had already been almost 10 million, ahem, "l e g a l" baby-murders between Roe and Reagan's election. By the time the Hammer 'n Sickle went down at the Kremlin on Christmas 1991, that number was 27 million. If those people were alive today and lived in their own state, it would be the third largest state in the Union by population.

The USSR (and Russia) has historically been even worse than the US in slaughtering the unborn. I hardly think a little workplace fornication is going to reverse that attitude.
