The Creeps Of The Pronatalist Movement
Manage episode 509328088 series 2452062
We’ve been promised a new American Baby Boom by a man who wears diapers and calls himself president, but the plan isn’t going well. Trump has surrounded himself with yet another cluster of weirdos: the pronatalists. Pronatalists claim they are concerned with population decline despite no evidence of population decline. They claim their movement isn’t racist despite openly talking about ‘white genocide’ and the ‘Great Replacement Theory.’
In this deep dive, Francesca explores the characters who lead this eugenic-adjacent movement– from the Collinses who like to hit their 3-year-old in public, to the founder of the annual conference NatalCon Kevin Dolan, who is an extremist Mormon– and their close ties to the U.S. government via Elon Musk, Peter Theil and JD Vance.
What’s the real reason people aren’t having kids, and how are pronatalists and their friends in high places, totally unserious about changing that. Don’t worry, it’s not your genes they want, it’s their own. Their very very weird genes.
