In this spicy episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Simone & Malcolm Collins, known as the “pronatalist” power couple who went viral following media attacks on “The Pronatalist Movement” - a response to the global fertility crisis and how birth rates are rapidly declining everywhere, especially in Asia and Latin America.

Malcolm and Simone Collins host the podcast called “Based Camp” and are the founders of “The Pragmatist Institute.” Together, they have published multiple books, such as “The Pragmatist's Guide to Crafting Religion” (Being the only one I read).

Simone & Malcolm Collins consider themselves to be part of “The New Right” - a pro-tech progressive conservative movement that is anti-racist, pluralistic, tolerant of sexuality, yet pro-religion and quite socially conservative for today’s standards. So, full disclosure: even though Malcolm & Simone Collins are quite unconventional conservatives, they still see themselves as part of the Right and are trying to reform the Republican party. In this episode, after getting Simone & Malcolm Collins to clarify their political positions, I try to challenge views on Capitalism, Socialism, and contemporary American politics in general.

In The Backroom on Patreon, I challenge Malcolm Collins’s views on the modern Conservative movement and his belief that the Republican Party is the lesser evil. Become a Patron at Patreon.com/OneDime if you aren’t one already. You don’t want to miss this one!
