    Brainwash. It’s brainwash. Just make more babies with the women who want to have kids. I mean, maybe you shouldn’t have killed your people in a war of useless aggression?

    But Maria said the government’s efforts to pull Russia out of its demographic rut were “pathetic”.

    “Tightening the screws, making safe abortions inaccessible, brainwashing people, bragging about supposedly huge benefit payments, sending them to a psychologist. It’s cruel and completely ineffective,” she said.

    “Everyone understands what women really want: social guarantees, an adequate income, the ability to afford housing, and, most importantly, tranquility and security,” she said.

    The US is on this exact same path. Horrifying.

            many of the folks who have advocated dissolving the post cold war NATO long before Donald Trump or the Ukraine invasion are anti-imperialist they’re not tankies or pro-russia

        It’s part of the reason they trained Republicans to be pro life. It’s not even a religious thing if they’d actually read the Bible.

          “Pro life” is misleading. They aren’t. It also implies that the other side is “anti life”, which also isn’t true.

          A better term is

          Anti choice

    Therapise is what a person who doesn’t understand or believe psychology thinks happens with therapy. It’s some vague verb applied to a person like a salve.

    “Therapise”… they’re going to try to brainwash these women until, eventually, they will likely be put into forced breeding camps. It’s disgusting.

      If only there were some way to provide a society where women felt safe, secure, and comfortable to willingly bring in and care for new life. If only.

    How long before the billionaires start forcing this? They’ll start with the poorest white women, then move on to all white women. Forced enlistment for all males, and forced pregnancy for the white females. The forever war needs grist for the mill, the number must go up.

      This was already tried. Romania is the prime example. The end result was kids being dumped into vastly underfunded orphanages. It isn’t the recipe for indebted hard working consumers they think it is.

      Epstein was already building something similar. Look at Musk. I’m positive they aren’t the only ones working towards having breeding stock.

    I would enjoy psychologically destroying a therapist who tried this with me. I removed reproductive organs to avoid children so it would be worthless on their part but I can unload on them until they commit suicide.

    If the US wasn’t dealing with a conservative plague in government we would be the perfect country to annex Russia. Plenty of practice overthrowing dictators. We need oil to support the three largest militaries in the world. Could even give sections the option to form their own country instead of joining the USA.

    Yes, yes, annex bad but Russians don’t even like their leaders and Europe isn’t about to do anything to stop their governments meddling.
