The article explores the complex and divisive issue of pronatalism within American politics, particularly focusing on its contentious reception on the left. While many might view the desire to promote birthrates as a universal good, it has sparked intense debate over the implications of such ideologies. The rights' framing of pronatalism, linked to national identity crises and supported by figures like Viktor Orban, raises concerns about potential fascist undercurrents. The article questions whether the left should engage meaningfully with these discussions or focus on their own agendas, revealing the broader implications of demographic shifts.
The idea is that declining birth rates are not just an economic issue but a fundamental threat to national identity and continuity, which has emboldened some dangerous ideologies.
Pronatalism, while seemingly innocuous, sits at the intersection of multiple political agendas, challenging not only demographics but also the values that shape societies.
