tomorrow, Pro-natalists and the ‘Under-Population’ Conspiracy: A Deep Dive~
alt text: thumbnail for my next video essay which depicts a collage of four images and my face imposed in the center. the first photo is of a map of the world which shows arrows going up in all continents around the world except Europe, which has a down arrow. the text below reads "under-population crisis?". the next photo is of malcolm and simone collins, known pro-natalists, the next is of another pro-natalist Elon Musk, and the last photo is of human embryos with the text "embryo IQ" over it. the text in the center reads "pro-natalism and the end of humanity?"
hi everyone, thank you so much for raising over $1k for the Palestine Children Relief fund on my latest video. My next video will be about pro-natalism and the falling birth rate/alarmist culture etc. If you haven't read Jenny Kleeman's gaurdian article about the faces of pro-natalism in the U.S. I suggest you do so. Afterwards, I suggest you go to the UN Population fund site and read their info-graphics about the problem with 'too many' and 'too few', which debunks popular pro-natalist talking points. Thank you and see you soon!~

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’"
image 2 - screenshot of the "problem with 'too few'" infographic that reads:
"Birth rates plummet, threat to national security =>
Young people want kids, but can't afford them. How can societies help?"
"Ageing societies: The world's next demographic time bomb => World rejoices as lifespans grow and seniors enjoy better health."
"Birth rates fall as women reject motherhood in record numbers => Women's desire for motherhood undermined by relentless gender discrimination."

🎤👀 new video out now. This one is a fundraiser for the Palestine children relief fund. Please engage with it so it doesn’t get shadow banned and donate if you can. Thank you

an oldie but a goldie - looking into sci-fi allegories (ps the planet of the apes reboot trilogy did it best)
before i do this deep dive, i'd like to know your thoughts on Borat, The Dictator and in general - Sacha Baron Cohen and 'liberal comedy'?
