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.

Founding of the Trump youth organization in 3... 2... 1...

Students For Trump already exists, sorry.

Oh, well. Better just start working on the propaganda now in case I need to blend in:

what? no. Trump would never use child soldiers.

He needs them in the factories cranking out more of his cheap-shit product lines like hats, ties and bibles with the constitution in them. If they survive the factories- then they get to become soldiers and die for him. he doesn't like losers, afterall.

If we ever get a group of MAGAlings running around, I'm going full Anakin Skywalker...

That's what they're hoping for. That's the whole point of using children as human shields.

Making American kids exert their bodies in ways Trump never ever has.

Have you heard about the military parade on his birthday?

the Trump administration has shown signs of enthusiasm for a pronatalist agenda. DOGE head Elon Musk, a father of 14, posts regularly on social media about the need for Americans to have more babies; he has also promoted NatalCon on X. Vice President JD Vance has proposed the idea of a weighted voting system, in which the votes cast by parents would be valued more highly than those by the childless. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy (a father of nine) signed a memo recommending that his department prioritize “communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average.”

Got to provide a continuous supply of children for the labour camps.

yeah its mask off now what with the deathcamp

medals would be worrying like 13 years ago, and we would be saying, "hey i think this guy might want to do a deathcamp"

but there's a deathcamp now sooooooooooooooooooo

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

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.

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone -2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

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
