Honestly, I would really want more information on this before making a clear cut judgement.
A ton of what caused extremists to attack moderate Hutu and the Tusti is opportunists and Hutu elite drumming up hate, and again would like to know more information

You are right, you do need to weigh everything they said
Besides the poor name choice and a willingness to give some praise to right wingers when they increase social benefit, the vast majority of the site content is items we all can agree on like increasing Housing supply, promoting working from home, increase benefits, etc
With that in mind, I can understand why you are cautious because the worse thing the site could be are smart and patient right wingers
And best we are dealing with progressives with an obsession over population decline because of brain worms
My money is on we are dealing with a group of people with brain worms

Most right wing states
Hungary may be an exception to the rule, but the rule generally stands, considering the shit Sunak and Trump are up to in their respective countries
Especially in the case of the states where the GOP end the US’s expanded child benefit

It’s frustrating that almost every paper I read besides the Star, gives them some benefit of the doubt

Nope, they post a lot of stuff I like

Might be? The site itself has attacked Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (stoppopulationdecline.org/silicon-valley-pronatal…) , so it’s probably not funded by them. It also praises WFH, Paid Leave, Unions at the like, which makes it less likely its funded by the right.

“In fact if your social spending is geared towards having more babies, it most likely won’t be.”
Except most right wing states hate any and all social spending all together, especally in the US and the UK

There is a common misconception that many women prioritize their careers over family relationships because they believe their self-worth comes from professional success. However, this myth is often perpetuated by right-wing extremists that seek to avoid addressing the need to improve material conditions for the majority.
Maybe? But it seems his fundamental premises is right wingers screaming about culutre are bad
From his Medium site, he apparently also thinks about food security in other countries
It is hard to draw conclusions, but I fail to see smoke

Next, let’s talk about British millennials. Before we assign them the blame label, it’s worth diving into some history. The birth rate in the UK has declined since 2013, and this decline isn’t floating in a vacuum. Its roots trace back to the austerity measures implemented post-2008 financial crisis. These cuts have deeply affected social care, welfare, and local government. Between 2010 and 2017, private rents soared by 24%, while social housing options dwindled. Adults, particularly young ones, found themselves either stuck with rising rents or moving back in with their parents. Combine this with the growth of precarious employment, and you get a generation deeply impacted by retreating state support and a daunting economic landscape.
You forget this part from the same article, which changes the context quite a bit

the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Israel offer lessons. These countries have managed to increase fertility rates by introducing pro-natal policies — a combination of cash incentives, subsidised childcare, and housing assistance
On the other hand, they are explicity focusing on the increase in social benefits, not anything dealing with anti-choice elements, and praised American Democrats for expanding Paid Leave and Unemployment, not to mention you guys left out this quote

If this was a right wing rag, then they would focus on culture or other nonsensical dogwhistles, but they are clearly hostile towards the right but willing to give praise to anyone who increase social spending

- Comment on Polluters, tax avoiders, misfits: forget Labour’s pals, Tory donors are in a different class | Catherine Bennett 1 year ago:
They think silly protests and being a pain in people is how we gotten our earlier gains, despite it not working.
I think its because of shows and stuff saying that these methods do work, when in reality is gaming the system (which they only do if it means blocking new housing for some strange reason)
