    The dissolution of the Soviet Union was a disaster for the human race...

      I read the book The Piratization of Russia about it, the author was an anticommunist lib and he still thought it was all a massive disaster.

      Well said unfortunately. To add.... The brain drain was already bad at the turn of the shock therapy and now with the pending economic reality and this war along with more regressive policies I can't help but think its gonna get worse.

          I didn't realise how bad shock therapy was for them until I read into it. The redistribution of wealth. A quote "For the years 1987 and 1988, roughly 2% of Russia population lived in poverty (surviving on less than $4 a day), by 1993-1995, it was 50%". That even if remotely accurate even with parameters for poverty changing is terrible

    Instead of supporting people and making it easier to have children, they'll punish people that state they enjoy or want to be CF. Neat. Also, the policy is ethnocentric considering world population is still increasing.

    Hot take but weird shit like childfree reddit should unequivocally be banned. It's one thing to be like I don't want to have kids or whatever but to have what basically amounts to hate groups directed at children is toxic and corrosive, like all other hate groups

      I won't lie peering into that and seeing em call children crotch goblins is ridiculous to me. Why they have that enmity towards possibly the least protected group is beyond me

      Don't visit any of the /r/[insert word]free subs. Worst mistake of my life.

      I'm pretty sure looking at /r/dogfree is a form of self harm

      Hating children in general is extremely liberal and counterrevolutionary imo.

      This is not to say I support the Russian policy ofc (first of all cause I didn't read the article)

      reddit-logo is full of manchildren that don't want to share the toys with actual children. A lot of them have SV tendencies and desires against children while hating them, too. libertarian-alert

    I'm pretty sure recruiting your already small young population to fight in the SMO, where they'll get PTSD, debilitating injuries, and possibly die, is it's self a "child-free ideology" at a state funded level. Sure, you're doing better than Ukraine, but you're still fucking over your entire population.
