The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

    Wow, these people have not planned anything at all. They’re going to homeschool all 7+ kids? And go into politics, a job that infamously has long, unsociable hours?

      No, they’re counting on not spending time with their children. Their worldview is all about populating, not educating.

      In fact, if you pester any of these people how they would plan to educate all these millions of new children you’ll quickly find out that either:

      • That is actually not planned for at all (hand waving).
      • They actually only want certain (White people of means) to be having lots of kids.

        Or option 3: they subscribe to the mudsill theory, under which education will no longer be wasted on the lower orders of society, whose lot is to die in harness.

      No need to plan things when you can use Rationalism, nominative determinism, and first principles to get over any troubles. Also the people who give them gifts are very rich.
