@kaia AFD dislikes this toot ;_;
Though IG they'll see that once they have deported those what was it? 20 million people? They won't have to be obsessed or even think about race (in Germany) anymore! /big s

Take them to Russia for a quick tour of "traditional values". We are already seeing a taxi ride price hike due to sharp decline in number of drivers, thanks to recent "counter-terrorist" measures. Uber is against our tradition — walk on foot, or get a Chinese car instead!
Somehow it didn't solve the demographic crisis, neither did reducing the availability of abortions and oral contraception. I wonder, maybe the war and declining economy have more to do with it, hm-m-m? 🤔
Not at post communist Slavs and central Asians.
@special-boy
There is nothing traditional in these "traditional values", it's the same image of great past they attempt to sell to those who are younger and the unsuspecting westerners.
The number of abortions (and miscarriages) per woman have been much higher in the USSR, it was just most often performed out of clinic, and they will likely revive this particular "tradition" by making more civilised means of birth control less available.

Well, that's natural — they have very few ways of entertaining themselves,
which also used to be true for rural Russia — they had vodka and
fucking, but now, due to aging population and declining health even of those who are younger, it became mostly vodka 😩
That is their tradition at this point.

For Russians, I think alcoholism is a symptom than a core problem, during the periods of greater political freedoms and economic prosperity, hard alcohol consumption drops significantly, it also "coincides" (not really) with growth in birth rates. But this threatens the centralisation of power. And vice-versa actually, there's a theory that Gorbachyov's anti-alcohol campaign might have contributed to the dissolution of USSR.

@special-boy
Unfortunately Russians themselves don't see centralisation as a bad thing, but the worst part is that the international community doesn't see it either — just watch them, when it caves in again, western politicians will do their best to keep it in one piece, they would rather deal with some new "owner of these lands", than with dozen representatives of smaller entities.

Ha-ha-ha, happens on Fedi a lot! It's not the Boy, but rather the instance the Boy is on, poasties get wild at times that's why they are blocked on many instances.
But there's actually nothing of the sort in the posts I'm replying to, you can open the thread on the instance I'm on to read them: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/113090137801172461
If you're getting annoyed with all the notifications, you can mute the thread or, if you wish, I can just unmention you if and when I reply again.
@m0xee @kaia yeah just unmention me 😂 I don't wanna mute you since nothing wrong but getting replies for a Convo I'm not in is kinda weird xD
I know it happens, but haven't had it happen to me much yet! Maybe because I'm on m.s, I keep hearing it has a bad reputation but it works perfectly for me, and it has (over?) half the userbase on it so at end of the day almost no admin of another server will block it as they'll hear the sound of a hundred annoyed users leaving their server 😆😂
@special-boy
They just want someone more cooperative than Pooteen — replace him with Hooteen and be done with it, but I have digressed…
Russians actually stand their ground against alcohol relatively well. From what I can see — much better than many ethnic minorities from the eastern parts, for whom wide availability of alcoholic beverages becomes a really harsh blow, their traditions immediately start deteriorating 😅
