Revealed: US pro-birth conference’s links to far-right eugenicists

This is the best summary I could come up with:

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.

On 13 June, Dolan was a guest on the Jolly Heretic podcast, hosted by Edward Dutton, an Englishman who left an academic position in Finland after his university found that a work he co-authored with the self-described “scientific racist” Richard Lynn plagiarized a student’s dissertation.

The advertised program for Natal includes one day of speakers, followed by a private second-day workshop involving “deep and honest conversation (closed-door, no phones) Chatham House rules”, according to the website, which also advises “there will be some light vetting of participants”.

Another speaker at the conference is Charles Haywood, the former shampoo magnate who the Guardian revealed as the founder and sponsor of a far-right network of fraternal lodges, the Society for American Civic Renewal, and who has speculated about his own future as a “warlord” in “more-or-less open warfare with the federal government” in a post-collapse America.

Another, Razib Khan, had his contract as a New York Times opinion writer abruptly withdrawn just one day after his appointment was announced, following a Gawker report that highlighted his contributions to outlets including the paleoconservative Taki’s Magazine and anti-immigrant website VDARE.
