"Putin's purpose is to lick my dog's butthole" - me

Contrary to popular belief, you are actually factually spot on. It is all described in detail in soviet-era files, locked away.

Even JD Vance confirms this, ans I challenge FSB to release any documentation that disputes it.

sure. in putins russia. just like a mans is to die after insemination in the military.

No, it's just to die in the military.

The government bureaucrats will do the hard work of inseminating their daughters for them, to serve the state.

Right-wingers reach for these religious or moralistic justifications and laws, but Putin is probably just noticing, like many other countries, that their economy is screwed if their birth rates continue to decline. And yet the planet is screwed if we continue to increase. As climate change eats away at the habitable areas of the planet, the obvious thing is for habitable countries with declining birth rates to accept many immigrants from places climate causes people to flee from. This will help those people and help the receiving country's economy. Unfortunately the right wing is also too wrapped up in xenophobia to accept this solution. They'd rather double down on controlling women.

I recently heard a “housing expert” say that cities have to keep growing, there’s no sustainable static level of population, and I thought “there’s better be or we’re all fucked.”

The problem with capitalism is that it only works if there’s perpetual growth, which (as many before me have pointed out) is the logic of cancer.

Tbf, people moving from rural areas to more dense and urban areas is kind of inevitable as time goes on. Megacities when?

Dense and (I guess I should have said or) urban areas. If these people are moving to the outskirts of metro areas, they're creating a dense, if not urban, community.

If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.

New ones are born every day, as the "women's purpose" dictates. I wish it was a generation thing, but I'm afraid it's ingrained on a deeper level.
