Fears that falling birth rates in the US could lead to population collapse are based on faulty assumptions

Why Silicon Valley leans to the right should be no surprise to anyone.

A part of it comprises of people who believe they are so superior, they won’t even let their kids mingle with ”commoners”. These people are already raving about the superiority of AI in homeschooling and emotionally supporting their kids.

They were already eugenists. It’s really always the same.

"[There is a] sort of a chauvinism or racism, that is a certain kind of people — the wrong kind of people — are having all the children these days so we will be replaced by new populations of people who have higher birth rates, people who aren't as good or desirable for some basically racist reason."

That is exactly what makes danmei so "subversive", says Dr Liang Ge, who teaches digital sociology at University College London. It allows women to "detach from gendered realities", which they often associate with marriage and motherhood.

"The Chinese government wants to promote traditional family values and liking danmei novels is seen as a factor in making women less willing to have children," Dr Ge explains.

"Great Replacement Theory, or the idea that White Christians are being outperformed demographically by non-Whites, threatening the survival of the race and 'civilization,' was central to Fascist ideologies and practices and it is central to anti-immigrant and other racist platforms of far-right parties and governments today."

Writing from her vantage point of growing up in rural Missouri and Arkansas, marrying at 18, becoming pregnant at 19 — "I couldn’t order a beer, but I could change a diaper" — and delivering a baby at 20, Jess Piper casts a cold eye on the pronatalist policies proposed by the Trump regime.

It's no accident, Piper says, that the folks most gung ho re: pronatalism are those rabidly opposing abortion but welcoming child brides.

#Pronatalism is here. This #rightwing social movement of promoting higher birth rates is rooted in #religion #patriarchy #technology and fear of falling birth rates. Some of these people are self-described #eugencists. A common belief is to see #women as mere objects for breeding.

From the article:

"'Women are to be subordinated to men. [They] largely are going to be responsible for managing the household, although with no real particular authority. .'"

We cannot treat #MAGA #pronatalism and mass #deportations as separate issues.

MAGA is stealing our tax dollars to terrorize and deport the people we need for a strong society and economy.

"Because these people are styling themselves after the villains of a Saturday morning cartoon, they are of course now deeply influential in the Trump administration." #maga #trump #eugenics #authoritarianism #pronatalism #fascism #motherhood

"Historians may one day reflect on the open concubinage at the end of America’s experiment with liberal democracy, and what it revealed about the disruption characteristic of our era: the compromise of the right’s typical defense of traditional families by the Nietzscheans of Silicon Valley, in favor of having children for quantity’s sake."
