America’s premier pronatalists on having ‘tons of kids’ to save the world: ‘There are going to be countries of old people starving to death’ - eviltoast

The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

    Yeah these people have found their weird PR niche. There’s nothing separating these people from other rich white Americans who can also comfortably provide for ~3 kids with good schooling and higher education. The real pronatalists are the scary Quiverful people who are a lot more numerous but are also religious fundies. There’s no way the Collinses can compete with them because that subculture already believes around 90% of what they believe but are more effective at spreading their memes.
