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.
The article simply labels people and organizations “far right” without specifying what “far right” means in this context or what exactly most of those people and organizations have said or done which is supposedly “far right”. It might as well just be a list of names labeled “bad guys”. I expected better reporting from the Guardian.
Do you really have to be hand-held past the “eugenics” and “white nationalism” mentioned in the article to figure out what they mean by “far right?”
Well yeah. Show me where the eugenics abd white nationalism are, because Im not seeing it.
Looks like bog standard name calling to me.
Dutton, Dolan said: “I think that the pro-natalist and the eugenic positions are very much not in opposition, they’re very much aligned.”
From the article you didn’t read!

He’s the organizer of the conference, which again is in the article you didn’t read. And clearly they value certain babies over others. It’s looking like you do too.

Also how do we know this alleged conference is even happening? And “Austin, Texas”? Sounds like a made-up place to me! The whole article is shady AF.
