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.
It’s nickel plated in the event the woman sleeps with an incel and gets knocked up.
My great grandma got that one. It allowed her to be a bitch towards the Nazis, as they had to honor her.
Another coinkidink.
Ah, here is step one. The “Mutter der Nation” medal for women having 5+ children.
Next stop: Lebensborn projects where women are forced to get impregnated by real american patriots ™
Blessed be the fruit.
Why do you think he wants to be “The Father of IVF.” Musky’s little breeding program.
The truth is that Trump is a poster child for why abortion should not only be legal, but encouraged.
Trump is the sum of the reasons I won’t procreate and can shove every single medal up his rectum to form Trump piñata. However, we can then string him up and take turns beating Trump-yata with a bat until we all get a medal, and the world will be on its way to healing.
ok so this is inconsistent
i read two fucking weeks ago that economists around the world are waking up to the idea that people should have fewer children because otherwise the rich and corporations might have to pay taxes to provide income to the people that the wages don’t. if there’s fewer people, they don’t need to pay people subsidies so much. trump should talk to his economists.
edit: context: wages are predicted to drop so low over the next 20 years that people will not be able to feed themselves on wages alone. social unrest is painful and to avoid it, some sort of Universal Basic Income will be unavoidable. That would have to be paid for by taxes that the rich would have to pay, since literally nobody else has any money. You see where this is going: the rich don’t like their wealth to be taxed.
It wouldn’t help unless said economists drew pictures and used simple words. Even then there’s no reason to believe he would understand.
Can this medal be exchanged for food and shelter?
That would be communism!
I feel like I missed part of the article where it said that the current administration was planning on distributing this medal. What I read was more along the lines of them saying that the current administration is potentially implementing some pronatalist policies and the it describes one policy promoted by a pronatalist group, but nothing about the current administration planning on implementing that specific policy.
Not saying any of this is good and I tend to mentally gloss over parts of text that I read, I’m just earnestly missing where it says that specific policy is one that is being looked into and I would appreciate someone pointing it out to me.
You’re not wrong. The link seems to be based on a couple who are very pro-babies sending the idea of the mother medal to the Trump administration. Then, the article talks about how conservatives are trying to change the national dialogue about having kids and showed several quotes posted on social media saying why having babies is great.
The author of the article seems to be the one who made the link. They probably aren’t wrong, but it wasn’t the Trump admin who came up with it or started talking about it.
Wait so we have too many immigrants but not enough babies?
What’s going on?
Keep track, we have too many of some immigrants, but not enough of some other immigrants. We have a tariffs on some stuff, but other stuff you don’t need to worry about. We support babies and infants sometimes, but not other times, but we ALWAYS hate China. That’s 2025!
Sounds about white.
Augustus did this 2000 years ago. Dictators can only imagine so far.
Meloni copying this (once more, as Italy has already done it many times, since the 1920s) in 3…2…
“Coincidentally” also a thing that Putin is currently doing
the US Government is bought, paid for, and owned by the Russian Mafia. So much so that the Subordinate tries to emulate the master in every facet now.
This is the more accurate comparison. Yes, Trump’s government is like nazi Germany in many respects but the pronatalist movement is straight out the Putin playbook.
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.
seems like that might reduce pretty damn fast very soon
Offering a medal for baby making while erasing women’s achievements in science and leadership is definitely sending a message.
comes with bag of onions.
