Far-Right Influencers Are Hosting a $10K-per-Person Matchmaking Weekend to Repopulate the Earth

[demmiblue]

The Natal Conference, which costs up to $10,000 to attend, features multiple matchmaking strategy sessions and onsite ministers so attendees can get married, WIRED has learned.

Organizers behind a pronatalist conference with far-right ties in Austin, Texas, this weekend have set up matchmaking events for attendees that include the option of getting married onsite as part of their greater effort to repopulate the world, WIRED has learned.

According to its website, the sold-out Natal Conference, taking place March 28-29 at a hotel operated by the University of Texas at Austin, has “no political or ideological goal other than a world in which our children can have grandchildren.” But the event, an earlier version of which was promoted by Elon Musk, features speakers like Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec and Crémieux, an online pseudonym linked, according to The Guardian, to Jordan Lasker, who discusses falling birthrates and promotes eugenics.

Natal Conference organizer Kevin Dolan, a father of at least six, according to Politico, has previously stated that eugenics—the belief that white people are genetically superior—and the pronatalist movement are “very much aligned.”

Publicly available details about the Natal Conference are scant, with the vague online conference agenda promising closed-door sessions to address collapsing birth rates.

1. Where's that asteroid when it's needed?

[SheltieLover]

2. Great question!

[canetoad]

48. 22 December 2032

But chances of it hitting are diminishing by the day. Probably won't happen.

[Ocelot II]

3. I wasn't aware the world was underpopulated.

Unless they're talking about a certain sort of population...

[The Madcap]

4. Is this the far right version

Of Epstein's Island?

[Rebl2]

68. Sounds like

it to me.

[brush]

5. What makes these far-right winger a-holes think their kids...

will buy into their white supremacist bullshit? They should research what happened to the Nazis in the '40s and the pro-war assholes of the '60s.

[EYESORE 9001]

16. Well, in the nature-vs-nurture debate, the most strategic was definitely steeped in apartheid and nazi ideology

It’d be hard to deny the effect of growing up in such a household, but he’s still a bloody bastard as a human being, and I think he’d still be an insufferable prick regardless of upbringing.

[brush]

18. Both trump and musk are products of such households. Some teens rebel and some...

like those to bullies buy into it. Fortunately there are often outside cultural influences that pushback against the crap.

[meadowlander]

50. Yeah, my very Catholic grandparents had eight kids each and 16 for 16 ended up atheists

mostly because of Catholic school. At the 80+ grandkid level only a handful are religious and not that devoutly.

The more you insist on indoctrinating kids into a very rigid belief system the more likely they are to rebel against it.

[Blaukraut]

6. Well, the billionaire city fiefdoms won't run themselves

They need plenty of willing serfs to see to their lords' needs. And because they'll be turned into biofuel when they're no longer useful, there needs to be a steady supply of little worker bees.

[efhmc]

7. Women beware. Rich and creepy.

[GopherGal]

24. I would think the Austin PD Vice Squad is on alert..

unless they're all registered (gratis) for the conference.

[allegorical oracle]

45. Numerous cross-wearing mega-church grifters. nt

[alarimer]

8. Are they unaware there are 8 billion people in the world?

The world hardly needs more people. I guess they really mean white people.

I mean, immigration actually solves a lot of issues with low birth rates, but these people are all racists.

[Retrograde]

32. but not the "right kind" of people (nt)

[John1956PA]

9. Gene pool from hell. n/t

11. History doesn't necessarily repeat itself, but it echoes.

This is a bit of an an echo of the Nazis' Lebensborn program. "Lebensborn e.V. (literally: "Fount of Life" ) was a secret, SS-initiated, state-registered association in Nazi Germany with the stated goal of increasing the number of children born who met the Nazi standards of "racially pure" and "healthy" Aryans, based on Nazi eugenics (also called "racial hygiene" by some eugenicists)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensborn

[tanyev]

12. LOL, what's the man to woman ratio?

Bet a lot of chumps will come home alone and $10,000 poorer.

[kysrsoze]

15. I'm sure it's a sausage-fest 😄

[valleyrogue]

13. LOL!!!!!!! Funniest thing I have seen in weeks.

Thanks for the laugh.

[Lovie777]

14. With what?.............

[valleyrogue]

17. What gets me is on the main page of the Natal Conference website,

there is a vintage picture of Jackie Kennedy with daughter Caroline on the beach. It was taken by Mark Shaw back in 1959. The Kennedy family, especially Caroline, should speak out against this misuse of a well-known photo.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

19. When was the Earth depopulated?

[Comrade Citizen]

20. Making Austin worse with help from UT

These lunatics should stay away from Austin and stay away from Texas.

The public university flagship should not be accommodating them.

Meanwhile, we normal native Texans are preparing to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Head Start at our local Community Action Agencies.

[blm]

21. Fvkkking Moonies.

22. From the Horse's mouth...

53. Where's my checkbook? What a catch 🙃

[Ilsa]

60. The world doesn't need more sociopathic ideology

and DNA.

Maybe this is why trump wants Greenland?

[IcyPeas]

23. Netflix should film it. It could be the next big hit similar to "Married at First Sight"

I would love to see the contestants' list of what they are seeking in a mate.

[Meowmee]

25. Omg

[bucolic_frolic]

26. Please explain how this is not pandering. /nt

[RandySF]

27. Repopulate?

I didn’t know we were endangered.

[milestogo]

28. These folks are apparently unaware of climate change.

[dweller]

29. ewww

just ewww



✌🏻

[allegorical oracle]

43. X1000 and I'll add a YUCKKK. nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

30. Sad that they need to have a special conference with a $10K cover to meet your lifemate.

But, when you live on the extreme, perhaps this is needed.

[Demovictory9]

31. world demographics are about 15% white??? the other 85% aren't going anywhere

[Renew Deal]

33. Why do you have to get married to repopulate the world?

Seems inefficient.

[Hekate]

42. Good point. Elon's not married to most of his brood-mares, iirc, & he's all about "efficiency"

[Renew Deal]

46. lol

[Norrrm]

54. Don't republicans have negative feelings about 'baby mamas'?

[Hekate]

57. The possession of enough money soothes all their moral feelings. Clearly gawd has favored Musk...

…and others like him, so they can do what they like.

It’s just the melanin-enhanced and money-deficient who get the scorn, derision, kicks, and blows — because just as clearly gawd has not favored them.

[meadowlander]

49. Sperm donation risks your little uberkind being raised by lesbians or other thought criminals.

It's not enough just to spread your useless genes if you don't also activate them with your useless parenting.

34. They need to make sure none of the women have gone through a divorce.

Matthew 5:32 ESV

"But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

The sanctity of Holy matrimony for conservative Christians - Kim Davis

Jesus was quite vocal about divorce/remarriage and the possible resultant sin of adultery.

[Abolishinist]

39. Makes my head spin, and she's still at it (the court part, not sure about her husband situation)

Appeals court rules in Kim Davis case aimed at overturning same-sex marriage (Fri, March 7, 2025)

A legal appeal filed by controversial former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis that aimed to eventually overturn the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision was denied this week.

Davis gained fame and notoriety in 2015 by refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her Christian faith and First Amendment rights.

A ruling this week by three Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals judges noted Davis previously had claims of qualified immunity denied in two separate court decisions, and her actions as a public official in denying those licenses were not protected by the First Amendment.

38. It'd be hilarious if it were just a few guys, and no one else

[dalton99a]

40. Hey Trump: Well-known antisemites are speaking at a major public university

This year's speakers include Jack Posobiec, a hardline conservative influencer who allegedly has ties to neo-Nazis; and a blogger who openly questions whether Ashkenazi Jews are as inherently intelligent as non-Jewish white people. Another speaker was fired by The New York Times after his work for a white supremacist website became public. Another reportedly posts homophobic, racist content on X and has called for journalists to be lynched. (The Guardian has a more detailed breakdown of some of the event speakers.)

47. I wouldn't want to be in the same room with those guys

Just reading about them gives off super creepy vibes

[Retrograde]

41. When I was born the world population wasn't quite 3 billion

It's now over 8 billion - I don't think the planet is in danger of depopulation.

[dobleremolque]

51. Uh-huuuunh.

closed-door sessions to address collapsing birth rates.

Right then and there, ya say? Hmmmmmmm.

[Emile]

59. LOL

[Blue Owl]

55. Will there be a session where Andrew Tate beats and abuses the women participants?

[Norrrm]

56. Conservative dating site.

A dating website promising to match pro-Trump supporters has removed the main photograph from its homepage after local media identified one of the people portrayed in the image as a North Carolina conservative activist who has a child sex conviction.

61. FUCK EUGENICS, NOT EUGENICISTS

[Quiet Em]

62. Let me know how many women they get to show up.

I remember they tried to do a dating site back in the con's first term and it ended quickly because there were no women, only men, who signed up for the dating site. lol

[Conjuay]

63. Let me get this straight-

WOMEN are willing to spend 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS for a chance to meat (heh heh,,, sorry) MEET Mister Reich?

That there should be grounds for a mental evaluation.

[Paladin]

64. What a slap in the face, to Austin and UT. (nt)

[Hassin Bin Sober]

65. Sign up for the "Roofies and you. How to spread your seed." seminar at 11 am.

[travelingthrulife]

66. Sick people...but I won't talk down to them!

[Hotler]

67. $10,000.00, I wonder what Epstein charged? "a world in which our children can have grandchildren."

Those are their words. Are not children age 12 and under?
A reminder;
Not one single person who paid to rape children on Epstein's island has been arrested.

[Kid Berwyn]

69. Gee, times really must be tough for oligarchs these days.

Read they’re paying a million per vote in Wisco.
