WTF

Edit: I wasn't sure what I was appalled by at first but now I realize it's that this fucking medal just encourages women to be treated no better than a prized heifer.

Nonsense! Wages are still nonzero. They can go much lower.

wages can go lower, but what will the people eat?

the people would need subsidies by the rich, which hurts the economy!

Have you heard about the military parade on his birthday?

I think of all the oppressive governments, giving this medal must be a near universal thing that separates them from other governments.

Ugh, we shouldn't condemn something for being something Nazis did. Hitler liked dogs, doesn't make it wrong.

I don't approve of natalism. Some natalists are driven by white-replacement cringe theory. Some are just inexplicably concerned about population decline. (I still don't understand why.)

Fuck this medal though. It's going to help make people think women are only good for one thing.

population decline is incredibly problematic… demographic crises can literally lead to the collapse of a society in a slow enough manner that it’s kinda difficult for people to see coming unless they know what to look for

i’d highly recommend the recent kurzgesagt video about south korea

The U.S. has/d very high immigration rates, which counters many problems of population decline.
