Strange economic strategy: burn out the labor force before the economy collapses.

NeedleworkerOld4696 Mar 30, 2026 +143
This is actually step 4. It goes: * Step 1: Be in a demographic death spiral * Step 2: Throw your young men into a meat grinder * Step 3: Young men leave * Step 4: Work who is left until, see steps 2&3
143
InsanityRoach Mar 30, 2026 +20
Step 2 is somewhat incorrect. The average of those fighting in the war is \~41yo IIRC (between both sides). The truly young have been mostly sheltered from it. Mostly.

Bromlife Mar 30, 2026 +13
I think you’ll find any young men with half a brain have left Russia.

InsanityRoach Mar 31, 2026 +8
Ehh, a significant amount left, yes, but many were too poor/didn't have the means, or had to go back to Russia because they didn't have a way to stay permanently in another country.

KsanteOnlyfans Mar 30, 2026 +3
The only one that is making a dent is nr.1 The demographic collapse is incredibly understated by the media. It's like a constant WW2 in terms of casualties

You would think Russians would have a better understanding of this in particular.

Nope. Having a Russian boss, even working in north America, it was still no evenings, no weekends, no vacation. I burnt out, I left, and i was replaced with another fresh idiot to repeat the process.

Historically, the rich are so greedy that they push and push and push until it breaks. The problem with never being satisfied is that you are never satisfied.

I think the important thing this time is to document what happens to them. If we had 4k videos of the French Revolution we could show to these guys every few years they might reconsider some things.

namesoundsoff Mar 30, 2026 +3
the russians are such a brainwashed people they could be worked to death without pay and they wouldn't revolt. The many a revolution in history of russia have been palace coups rather than revolutions.

Weird how they largely did away with the aristocracy only to create a brand new aristocracy, innit?

Surroundedonallsides Mar 30, 2026 +73
Part of the whole deal with democracy is that the electorate must stay informed and actually vote for their best interests. This is an issue when most people who vote get their "news" from a combination of tiktok videos and headlines, and a huge portion of people don't even bother doing that much.
73
SomeRandomGuydotdot Mar 30, 2026 +22
The idea that this is the fault of the masses for not *being educated about their interests* is silliness. It's called the iron law of oligarchy and the faster people actually understand that there's a reason power concentrates in just about any organization the sooner we can stop blaming bubba for an evergreen problem.
22
RadioHonest85 Mar 30, 2026 +14
Well, US abandoned news for entertainment. Freedom of press orgs have been warning about this trend for over a decade in the US, and you score fairly low on press freedoms. Go watch the news from most European countries and you will be bored.
14
SomeRandomGuydotdot Mar 30, 2026 +5
Look, we still have real news in the US. It's not like CSPAN stopped existing, but this actually highlights the point. You can watch all the high quality news you want. It *does not bring you any closer to the levers of power*. Pretending like it does is just an *escapist fantasy* and displays the gross egoism that is pervasive in the modern era. It's a surrogate activity. It's not actual politics. The education most people need *doesn't come from the news*. It would come from having a gross understanding of civil engineering because we mostly live in a technocracy. At least then they'd be able to meaningful engage with the larger local proposals. What a broad education would probably achieve is making people less xenophobic assholes, but I wouldn't hold my breath there either.

Aristocracy owned the land and made serfs and peasants work. These guys own capital and the means of production and make workers do the sweating. But they needed the aristocracy gone to free the manpower.

12 hours a day, six days a week. This sounds like a catalyst for an uprising revolution. Which is exactly what Russia needs. So I'm all up for it.

strychninex Mar 30, 2026 +13
This is what people that casually call for revolution don't understand, its not usually the nicest or smartest good people that end up in power, its the most calculating and ruthless with no value on their allies lives when they take over and consolidate power. In places like Iran, well you already got the worst in 1979 a terrorist regime funding proxy groups with nuclear ambitions. Russia still could be much worse, sadly, and it would be a nightmare for the world because of the nuclear threat whatever state that emerges poses plus the possibility of their use in a civil war.

Silent-Storms Mar 30, 2026 +5
Yea, the revolution fetishists always seem to omit all of the death and suffering that comes with it, without any guarantee the end result is better.

Spiritual-Pear-1349 Mar 30, 2026 +42
Well, yeah. The 8 hour workday was a compromise between allowing workers 8/8/8 work/rest/sleep, and not having their factories burned down.

Keep the populace busy and they can't revolt. They're too busy trying to keep food on the table. This isn't just a one nation thing. This is a global concerted effort by world leaders and billionares working together to destroy the entire working class and suppress them as far down as possible.

Silver-End9570 Mar 30, 2026 +18
He's clearly never worked 12 hour shifts before. Back in 2019 I started working for Amazon during the Christmas season. Mandatory 12 hour shifts, on top of an hour commute getting to and from work. For a month, I had 10 hours to sleep, eat/cook, and take care of any business I had before I turned around to go back. Half a decade later and I still barely remember what happened that month from the severity of sleep deprivation. I actually fell asleep on my feet at my work station and went home because I didn't feel safe doing my job. I shit you not that if that's mandatory in Russia, the Russian soldiers in Ukraine won't be the only ones killing themselves - intentionally or otherwise.

murppie Mar 30, 2026 +9
I read an article a few months back that detailed the life of the billionaire owner of some sports team on his "X hour workday." There was MAYBE 2 hours of stuff us normal people would consider work. Most of it was "say hi to people" and "had someone drive him around"

That’s literally why labor laws exist.
53
MainBeing1225 Mar 30, 2026 +44
Labour laws exist because workers fought back often resulting in their own blood being spilled in the process. Modern day workers are feckless and have forgotten how terrible conditions were in the past so we will let billionaires abuse us until a breaking point is hit.

Who needs to eat and sleep or spend time with our families? In fact us women can't even admit to our bosses we want to get married or have children because they see that as a red flag it will distract us from our work. We must live to work and not the other way around according to management. Meanwhile, none of these rules apply to them.

"It's a banana. How much could it cost? Ten dollars?" Americans fight tooth and nail for the benefits of the millionaires and billionaires that they'll never be. The bottom 50% of Americans hold about 2.5% of the country's wealth.

I think it's actually the [head of their central bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira_Nabiullina) (who has tried to quit, only to be told "no") who is more likely to get pushed out a window. Even though she's heavy into the bribes and shenanigans, even she was unable to make Putin's war policy make economic sense, and it has cost her.

I remember working in the computer chip industry from 1994-2009 and one particular bad year during a turn down all of or raises were cancelled but management got huge retention bonuses in to form of stock options when our stock was in the gutter. They made it sound like we were all taking the same haircut but they were actually making millions more. Another bad time when we had a bad year the CEO got. 25% pay raise while rank and file workers barely got anything.

Yelworc0242 Mar 31, 2026 +2

Reminds me of Gilligan’s Island, where the Howell’s learn their marriage was not official. Lovey wants to be courted but Thurston does not. So they “date” others at the recreated Tour D’Argent restaurant. Thurston with Ginger and Lovey with the Professor. Lovey asks the Professor to say something “scientific”, so he blurts out “salicylic acid!” Lovey exclaims “Salicylic acid! I’ll buy you one! I’ll buy you a dozen!” Thurston scowls and tells Ginger “Little does she know how hard other people work to make me money!” It’s a comedy, but that’s 100% spot on. You know that POS isn’t working 12 hours a day for shit wages.

Ah yes, also force ppl to have more children that will take over at 15 because parents will be either empty husks or dead. Great plan.

Best way to “fix” economy is to pay people on the bottom ….money is the life blood of the economy… only healthy as it circulates, if it pools in the head bad things happen … bad things are happening, but the brain damage has already set in , they can recognize the problem but could never ever envision a solution where the don’t get increasingly wealthy . Some even recognize the problem but can’t see a way to not grab everything. All the blood pools in the head, causes delusions , stroke , eventual death .

I agree. Since russians like so much to be vassals, why not. They can also give putin the right of the first night.

There's this tactic to tell something more shocking, to act on something a little less shocking later. Also there are lot of idiots there, I guess.

Maybe trickling down some of those billions would be a much better way to fix the economy, or you know not wasting billions on stupid wars the vast majority of people don't even want.
