The Russian CRACKDOWN on Antinatalism

The Russian government is pushing forward a bill to crackdown on "childfree ideologies". This is bad news for antinatalists and for anyone who doesn't want to reproduce.

Were you aware of this potential crackdown in Russia? ❓

[barsbold]

The reason is very simple: more slaves/work force and cannon fodder for the rich and wealthy

[watkins]

Why bring children into a world where free speech is not allowed?

[kartik]

something as simple as not having children triggers these "powerful", shows how strong of a rebellion this is which pisses off these people. If at all it happens so not having biological children is punishable in any way like tax or worse, i would try to move to another country, if thats not possible, in worst case i would rather take a leave.

Viewing humans like Cattle well actually every country does.

We need to take it as a warning for the rest of us.

Imagine giving your life's energy, time, money raising 2-3 sons and then sending them to war
because a psychopath with a suit in his office ordered it

[TempehLiberation]

Based on how things are going here in America with the Christofascists, won't be long now before we have a Forced Birth Dystopia (or rather more of one). Stay safe out there everyone.

And gone is the freedom. Not that they ever had any anyway.

[KateeAngel]

Yeah I live in Russia. It gets shittier every day. This government destroys everything good

[Thunderwake.]

"our country is so prosperous and our people so happy satisfied that they won't dare have children"

[jacquelineentwistle]

it's more harm bringing kids in to exsitence so disgusting what they are doing so wrong

[greenleaf]

In the US, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has questioned whether the ruling that allows for access to birth control in all the states should be reconsidered. Scary shit!

Basically the Handmaid’s Tale politics are happening in russia lol

[cosmicprison]

And that’s the actual reason behind the fear about “LGBT propaganda”, both in Russia and elsewhere in the world: They’re all concerned about the promotion of any “counter-reproductive behaviour”.

[asya.and.barsik]

It's also scary for the folks in Georgia cos it's like these russian laws are being mirrored - the foreign agents law is now in effect, the anti LGBTQ+ bill got passed, and we fear anti-childfree laws could be next...! 😭😭

[divineantiwokegangster]

that looks basically like Nazi Germany to me Hitler also once violently tried to enforce a higher natalistic behavior of his country. but it depends on god and the jews to regulate a countries natalistic behavior

[gaydukovdmitrij]

And now, here in Russia, there are more and more talks among our lawmakers about introducing a childlessness tax. Here is a translated excerpt from an interview one of them gave to our news outlet. It is so laughably illogical that I can't even begin to comment on it.

... Fedorov also clarified that if a person does not have children for medical reasons, this should not exempt them from the higher tax rate. Explaining this nuance, the deputy compared the principle of imposing a childlessness tax with the payment of alimony. "The childlessness tax is in no way related to medical issues. Imagine that an alimony payer, for some reason, can no longer have children. Does he stop paying alimony? No. The same here. Essentially, we propose to introduce 'alimony' for people who could have children but do not have them due to various circumstances. Accordingly, they are not investing in the development of the future, including their own personal future. Others do it for them, " emphasized Evgeny Fedorov.

The Russian government's Maternity Capital initiative, launched in 2007, initially saw some success but ultimately failed to reverse the country's long-term demographic decline. While families used the financial aid for housing improvements, economic instability, such as recessions and rising living costs, made larger families unaffordable for many. Russia’s declining birth rate, which hit its lowest point since 1999, has been further exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, leading to significant population loss. Now, Russia’s proposed legislation against antinatalism and child-free ideologies, driven by so called "traditional" values and the desire to boost the birth rate, is another attempt to combat this crisis. Life never had any worth:

1. Крепостные крестьяне (Serfs): In Tsarist Russia, serfs were peasants legally tied to the land and the landowner, essentially treated as property. They had almost no rights and could be bought, sold, and punished at will. Their labor was used for next to nothing, and they were often exploited, leading to severe poverty and suffering. Serfdom was only abolished in 1861.


2. ГУЛАГи (Gulags): The Gulag system of labor camps, established during Stalin's rule, imprisoned millions of Soviet citizens under brutal conditions. People were sent to these camps for political dissent, minor offenses, or arbitrary reasons, forced into hard labor, often in freezing conditions, with little food, no healthcare, and inhumane living situations. Many died from overwork, starvation, and mistreatment.


3. Погромы (Pogroms): Violent riots aimed at the mass murder or expulsion of Jews from towns and cities in the Russian Empire, especially during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These were state-condoned or ignored, and thousands of Jewish families were killed, displaced, and looted in brutal mob attacks.


4. Большой террор (The Great Purge): Initiated by Stalin between 1936 and 1938, this was a campaign of political repression where millions of people were executed or sent to labor camps. It targeted perceived political enemies, the military, intellectuals, and even ordinary citizens accused of being traitors or spies.


5. Концентрационные лагеря (Concentration Camps): Like the gulags, Soviet concentration camps were used for mass internment of political prisoners, dissidents, and marginalized groups. Prisoners faced starvation, physical abuse, forced labor, and often execution.


6. Коллективизация (Collectivization): Stalin’s forced collectivization of farms in the late 1920s and early 1930s led to widespread famine, particularly in Ukraine (known as the Holodomor). Millions of peasants died from starvation, and many more were displaced, imprisoned, or executed for resisting collectivization.


7. Раскулачивание (Dekulakization): This policy involved the persecution of wealthier peasants (kulaks) during collectivization. Many were executed or sent to labor camps, and their property was confiscated. It was part of the state’s effort to break rural resistance to collectivization.


8. Чистки (Purges): Systematic elimination of perceived enemies, often including intellectuals, military leaders, and political figures. These campaigns were widespread under Stalin and continued under subsequent Soviet leaders.


9. Зачистки (Sweep Operations): These were brutal military operations often conducted in conflict zones like Chechnya, where Russian forces would “sweep” through villages, arresting or executing civilians suspected of supporting rebels, often without trial or evidence.


10. Холодная война (Cold War): During the Cold War, political dissidents, intellectuals, and cultural figures who challenged the Soviet regime were imprisoned, exiled, or executed. This repression extended into Soviet satellite states and led to further human rights abuses.


11. Красный террор (Red Terror): A period of political repression and mass killings carried out by the Bolsheviks during and after the Russian Revolution. It targeted perceived enemies of the revolution, including monarchists, capitalists, and counter-revolutionaries.


12. Голодомор (Holodomor): A man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions. It is widely regarded as an act of genocide due to Soviet policies that exacerbated food shortages and restricted access to aid.
