Natal conference, to be held in Austin in December, promoted on far-right podcast circuit and set to host self-described eugenicists
A high-end hotel in the liberal Texan enclave of Austin is playing host to a conference whose theme is boosting global birth rates, but which will in fact feature racist and eugenicist internet personalities and far-right media figures.
The Natal conference – whose website warns that “by the end of the century, nearly every country on earth will have a shrinking population, and economic systems dependent on reliable growth will collapse” – is scheduled to be held on 1 December at the Line Hotel.
Anyone who thinks that should start with themselves
The idea is that infinite growth is unsustainable. We are feeling the initial effects of it today. Individuals who are scared of it today are simply not having children. So they are starting with themselves.
As with other grand scale problems facing humanity; I think we will simply chug along until it blows up in our faces.
We’re not even close to the point at which population growth becomes unsustainable. We’re in the position we’re in because we failed to invest in infrastructure.
