Maybe if they weren't destabilising the world, their citizens might feel happier about bringing children into it.

Feelings are gay. No gay there, it's unruzzian.

Why does the far right obsess over whether or not women have kids? It’s so creepy.

You don’t think wars fight themselves do you? Or that munitions self-assemble do you?

The lower class exists to keep the middle class in line so that the upper class can continue to make money. And the upper class, for now, requires human capital to do the work that makes them money.

Human capital thst’s educated enough to work the machines but not educated enough to know that they’re being exploited, and hence rebel.

Need more workers/consumers, full stop. The main and most important reason. Doesn't matter if it's an authoritarian state like Russia or a "free" capitalist state like USA.

Need more bodies to produce and consume.

In addition to other reasons, it keeps women "in their place". Barefoot and pregnant is a thing.
