Summary

Simone and Malcolm Collins, outspoken advocates of a “pronatalist” agenda, envision a model city-state focused on increasing birth rates and “genetically selected” citizens to counter demographic decline.

Simone, a candidate for Pennsylvania’s legislature, supports Trump, Elon Musk, and a conservative agenda with Silicon Valley backing. The couple’s controversial ideas include selective voting rights, targeting the “elites,” and embryo selection based on intelligence.

Despite their fringe positions, they seek to influence politics by mobilizing conservative voters, promoting family values, and experimenting with low-cost election tactics to sway swing districts.

The couple’s pronatalist foundation received significant funding from Estonian billionaire Jaan Tallinn. Child protective services (CPS) have visited the family twice following scrutiny over their parenting.

    lol those are the people, in the picture, those people are arguing for superior genetics? Wife is super unattractive, guy looks beta af, both parents have glasses. They are obviously not very smart. And Silicon Valley is backing this? Aside from VC douchebags and execs, Silicon Valley has a ton of immigrants, because we can’t be bothered to educate native born US children properly to do these jobs.

    “Counter demographic decline”

    Holy fuck is that some crazy shit right there. Didn’t make it past that sentence. Imagine white washing “creating a master race” with something almost acceptable sounding. Fuck right off.

        Eugenics can be traced to Ancient Greece and Rome, and the modern flavor and actual term were coined by Francis Galton of the United Kingdom, a half-cousin of Darwin.

          Obviously, these things are much older but the wave which inspired Hitler and his minions originated in the US before spreading their ideas in Europe.

            Yes because removing unwanted babies from the gene pool has never been mentioned outside of American ideas. Much less closer to hitlers home…

    I’m sure nothing could go wrong with the Brave New World they envision.

    I mean we could work on the root cause of demographic decline?

    Naaa that will effect our corporate donors! Let’s just make a dumb solution that can be capitalized!
