I'm feeling physically ill after reading this article: America’s premier pronatalists on having ‘tons of kids’ to save the world

www.theguardian.com 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’

Elon Musk (father of 11) supports their cause. Thousands follow their ideology. Malcolm and Simone Collins are on a mission to make it easier for everyone to have multiple children. But are they really model parents?

- she observed when she saw tigers in the wild: they react to bad behaviour from their cubs with a paw, a quick negative response in the moment, which they find very effective with their own kids. “I was just giving you the context so you don’t think I’m abusive or something,” he says.
  Oh so they beat their kids too and lie about?
  
  TIGERS CANNOT TALK AND HUMANS HAVE LANGUAGE, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE
  
  I hate the "I saw wild animals doing it" argument. Not only is it constantly used to justify fascistic beliefs and actions it's also so fucking dumb. What's next? Giving a TED talk about how anthropology isn't needed anymore because I stared at a tank full of fucking sea monkeys?
  
  At one part of the article the interview got interrupted because one of the children gabbed the poop from their diaper and ran around with it in their hand. The parents seemed distraught over this, but it's obviously okay because the child is doing chimpanzee behavior.

- Listen this isn’t being a doomer, this is just reality. America will lead an eco fascist alliance of western nations against allowing refugees in their nations. America will likely have a full scale war with at least half of Asian before 2050. America will prevent the world from making global solutions towards climate change. We need to understand as the left that all these things will happen BEFORE the left even rises from its death in 1991.
