Turkiye’s Erdogan declares population crisis, blames LGBT ‘fascism and oppression’ for falling birthrate

There's one source of fascism and oppression in Turkey and it's sure as hell not LGBT people, dawg.

Provide social services so having a child isn't cost prohibitive and more people will have children.

Idiots in power seem to frequently have a complete inabilty to understand societal changes...

I guess theoretically LGBT fascism could exist in some alternative timeline. I'm trying to imagine it. The uniforms would be wild.

He's talking about people no longer being muslim. Because muslim men can marry 4 wives, and produce children 4x as fast as one-man one-woman marriages.

It's a technique from thousands of years ago, that still is used by religions. Outbreed your enemy. Turn the women into slaves, and in 20 years, you have 4x the population as your enemy - so now, it's time for war. And war is used to capture more women, etc...

All religions are conservative, and when conservatives try to get more power, they appeal to their conservative religions with conservative religious bullshit.

No other religion is better than the one I'm talking about. They all pull this 'global domination through assholeishness" bullshit.

Politicians and their voters in low birth-rate countries will blame everything and anything but the real issues. If you have to stay at work all day to pay for a small shitty appartment, have little to no disposable income on top of that, and are staring down the barrel of a new world war + the end of livable climates for humans, having multiple babies is not very high on the list of future plans.

But sure. Blame the queers that make up what... 5% of the population?

I'm sure blaming unrelated people and things will magic more babies into existence /s

Try giving people the means to live a dignified life, with proper housing and food security, and wait a while.

The population won't boom but people will be more at ease to consider having children.

Most even want to have children. Unfortunately, they can't because they have a consciousness.

There's a population crisis because people stopped fucking and making babies cold türkyie.

Yeah, well he's an idiot and always has been

Not surprising - traditionalist liberals attacking LGBT people because they dare defy the holy family structure is very common.

I doubt this has anything to do with religion though, apart from it being used as a convenient tool to add credence to the rhetoric. More people being born and raised via unpaid labor of their parents (usually mothers) means more future workers for the ruling class to extract labor value from, which usually means more economic growth and more bodies for when war breaks out.
