        There’s also a strong white supremacist aspect to natalism. It’s a form of racial eugenics.

      They literally think they are part of a Master Race and that their magic jizz will create a future line of ubermensch.

      It’s esoteric fascism.

      Is it possibly an extension of their “line goes up” mentality? Or is there a possibility they’re moving towards something more nefarious? 100 kids seems like a lot to try and manage if you’re actually acknowleging them as progeny and distributing your wealth among them.

            Trusts don’t pay inheritance tax, and LTD companies don’t pay capital gains. Loophole’s everywhere, by design

        Or is there a possibility they’re moving towards something more nefarious?

        The Khashoggi killing had roots in a cutthroat Saudi family feud

        The cutthroat scheming within the House of Saud over the following years matches anything in the fantasy series “Game of Thrones.” The fallout extended to the United States, China, Switzerland and other countries, as the two most powerful clans of the royal family jockeyed for power. As the tension increased, the royal court around Mohammed bin Salman, the new king’s favorite son, even dared to try to kidnap a member of the Abdullah faction in Beijing in a brazen operation in August 2016 that reads like a chapter in a spy thriller.

        MBS, as Salman’s son is known, became increasingly anxious and aggressive toward those he considered enemies. Starting in the spring of 2017, a team of Saudi intelligence operatives, under the control of the royal court, began organizing kidnappings of dissidents abroad and at home, according to U.S. and Saudi experts. Detainees were held at covert sites. The Saudis used harsh enhanced interrogation techniques, a euphemism for torture, to make the captives talk. They were forced to sign oaths that if they disclosed any of what happened, they would pay a severe price.

        This real-life drama was described to me in a series of interviews by prominent Saudis and U.S. and European experts, in the United States and abroad, in the weeks since Khashoggi’s death. These sources had firsthand knowledge of events but asked not to be identified because they involve sensitive international matters. The information was checked with knowledgeable U.S. sources to confirm its accuracy. It helps explain the vortex of rage and lawlessness that ultimately sucked in Khashoggi, a Post Global Opinions columnist, when he entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.

        Here’s the bottom line, for U.S. and Saudi experts who have reviewed the intelligence findings: Khashoggi was murdered by a team sent from the royal court in Riyadh, which was part of the rapid-action capability that had been organized 18 months before. Khashoggi’s provocative journalism and his ties to Qatar and Turkey had offended the increasingly autocratic crown prince, who issued a “bring him back” order in July 2018, one that wasn’t understood by U.S. intelligence until three months later, after Khashoggi’s disappearance in Istanbul.

      They have a breeding kink and the means to realise it. You are kink shaming them.

      Must be something with psychopaths, for all I know about it was very important to have many children.

      Stronger primal instincts maybe, and not augmented by responsibility or fear or love.
