    It’s curious to see “natalism” at the top of the list, when I regularly see “anti-natalism” pushed by the same group at minorities and other “undesirable” populations.

    Similarly, Woke DEI Rainbow Capitalism was all the rage right up until the federal government changed hands. I wonder how many people will think “We Won!” when Facebook and Tesla pivot back to liberal pastiche.

      Malcolm and Simone Collins, the pro-natalist couple who are reportedly consulting the Donald Trump administration on how to encourage American women to have more babies, are something of a deliberate heel: they often seem to be attempting to provoke the ire of their audience. The couple espouse the pro-natalism that is sweeping the political right with an explicit eugenicist tilt (self-styled “elites”, the Collins scan their IVF-generated embryos before their pregnancies, in an effort to select for features like high IQ).

      Anti-natalism is for the plebs. Natalism is for the white christian american ubermensch.
