- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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 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.
-
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.

Putin caused a population catastrophe and now is trying hard to fix it lmao
More meat for the grinder.
Wow, the new superpower race is on to see who can implement The Handmaid's Tale first.
Gross weirdos, too fragile to even have a conversation without making rational arguments illegal.
Gotta keep the blood factory running.
Childless couples and single bachelors finally united by one powerful force!....still childless? Okay so basically two guys and a fertile woman united by another guy! Finally the family we all need! Oh. She's already 52? Well, keep trying. That's the spirit!
I see where JD Vance gets it from
It's like the US and Russia's new competition is who can be more authoritarian.
Cold War 2: the electric boogaloo
"You WILL provide meat for the grinder!"
- "Do you want kids?"
- "No"
* Gets fined *
It's basically making consent illegal.
Can't wait to hear the tankie apologetics for this one.
"umm akcshually this is a good thing because the US is bad and I'm way too dense to understand that two countries can be bad at the same time and you're fascist if you disagree with me" How about that?
"The revolution will need future soldiers to fight the imperialist dogs!"
Yeah, but you put a quarter in their shopping carts guys! What an organized and crime free society guys.
Their subway is super clean guys we can't compete with freedom like that guys.
Guys, Tucker said groceries are cheaper than America, guys. We've been duped into thinking life is OK guys. But also lowering prices in America is also communism guys. Russia has literally the least communist history guys, America is the real Marxist guys.
Trust me guys, American freedom has nothing on Ruzzian freedom guys. All of the benefits with literally 0 drawbacks guys, it's insane how little consequences there are to living in Ruzzia guys.
There's nothing more free than a brutally oppressive police state run by a dictator guys, it's the secret recipe for freedom guys. Trust me bro.
Completely unrelated, but your comment reminded me of this old meme that always cracked me up 
Reminds me of my ex
I noticed how your message addresses guys only.
"Listen, verbally defending your actions from criticism is just a western plot to sully the great minds in Russia..
You're all just paranoid westoids who are too propagandized to understand how this is a good thing."
-Every tankie reading this article before hearing their own idiotic thoughts and going back to hexbear to have an ego-masturbating championship while being too ignorant to seize the means of their own betterment.
Is there any comment in Russia that won't get you fined or out of the nearest window?
Believe it or not this comment sends you straight to gulag
“I want to have Putin’s babies indefinitely.”
Not specific enough - straight to gulag via Siberia
“I want to have Putin’s babies for as long as he wants me to have his babies.”
So, how long until the Republicans start calling for this in the US?
They have already done that, just read their Project 2025.
Wait is something like that actually in Project 2025?
The document also proposes linking federal assistance to family-oriented marriage plans calling out the Biden administration for “subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage.”
Under its family first agenda, federal aid should be used for “policies with those encouraging marriage, work, motherhood, fatherhood, and nuclear families.” https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-election/how-project-2025-could-affect-women/
I wouldn't be suprised if there was
True
We need more meat to the grind machine
Some important info that is missing:
-
Proposed legislation is far from being an actual law. It has only once passed the committee (1st stage out of 5), after which got sent to be re-written. Now it's at pre-1st stage.
-
So far, it has received 2 negative reviews from the administration. First one, from 2022, said it's redundant, and second one, from 2023 that it's... still just as redundant as it was.
-
2 out of 3 authors have removed their signatures since the first negative review.
Basically, there's little to no chance this would ever pass. Our "crazy printer" may be insane, but it only does so if there is an ass to lick.
I could even link everything if anybody wants me to. Doubt it won't get removed, but still.
They put themselves in this position (the government), so I'm not surprised at this... in a convoluted way it is a necessary evil to combat the evil that brought this reality upon themselves.
Thank fuck we dont live in Russia.
religious reasons
I've just remembered. We're all Shakers.
