Salon: Malcolm Fantasizes About Simone Dying (This Article is Insane)

In this episode, Simone and Malcolm Collins discuss a recent Salon article that heavily criticizes their views on pronatalism, egalitarian marriage, and conservative ideologies. They delve into multiple misrepresentations and factual inaccuracies presented by Amanda Marcotte. The couple questions the efficacy of programs like Head Start, advocates for more parental control over education funds, and reacts to allegations of misogyny and eugenics. Additionally, they touch upon Trump administration policies, conservative stances on daycare regulations, and how their personal experiences with childcare shape their viewpoints.

Simone Collins: [00:00:00] Despite the couple's empty claims to have an egalitarian marriage, they admit Simone Collins does most of the childcare and housework , with the usual false claims that women are intrinsically better at these tasks. B***h, how many men do you know? Who can really, really can do laundry and dishes and cleaning house well.

The type of men who she pegs

Malcolm Collins: do.

It's all consensual, okay? Let's be clear. It's not that I don't keep my wife in chains, or bark orders at her, or tell her what to do, or make her make my food, or do most of the cleaning in the house, or handle our livestock, but I'm a feminist, which means I also force you to earn most of our money.

Would you like to know more?

Malcolm Collins: Hello, Simone. It's exciting to be here with you today. We have news articles about us all the time. Just yesterday, we had a big feature in the Washington Post. But and news features, honestly, often mischaracterize us, and I've come to expect that from the mainstream media.

But [00:01:00] we had one from Salon on us recently that was the most It almost felt like the person writing it was screaming the entire time they were writing instead of, like, actually writing it.

Simone Collins: Yeah, the Right. The author, Amanda Marcotte, just seemed kind of unhinged through the whole thing. Like, just Her picture

Malcolm Collins: on Twitter is, by the way, her cat.

But I wanted to get an understanding of, like, before we get into this, because this is just going to be amazing. Like, it is amazing, this feast. When I got my Google Alert on this, It said, Malcolm Collins, who fantasizes about his wife dying in pregnancy. And then to, to hit that point home, they use the quote where I said you know, my wife does put her life at risk with every pregnancy, and that's something that I appreciate.

And Of course, the point I'm making there is I appreciate how hard pregnancy is for women and that there are real risks. Oh,

Simone Collins: [00:02:00] sorry. No, no, no. Malcolm, you're a white man. There's no way you can win this. But actually, I found the article so objectionable, I want to go through it line by line. Because one, I think anyone will find it entertaining.

Two, I think it exemplifies a lot of ways that the left misstates pro natalism. And also just what the Trump administration and conservatives in general are doing anyway. Well, so I don't

Malcolm Collins: know. Okay, so you got to get this from the Trump administration. We need to set the record

Simone Collins: straight. We need to set The lovely

Malcolm Collins: young press person who Trump has right now

Speaker: I was, uh, made aware. of the funding from USAID to media outlets, including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room. Uh, and I can confirm that the more than 8 million taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico on the American taxpayer's dime will no longer be happening.

Uh, the DOJ team is working on canceling those payments now. Again, this is a whole of government effort to ensure that we are going line by line. When it comes to the federal government's [00:03:00] books, and this president and his team are making decisions across the board on do these receipts serve the interests of the American people?

Is this a good use of the American taxpayers money? If it is not, that funding will no longer be sent abroad and American taxpayers will see significant savings because of that effort.

Malcolm Collins: so don't be expecting that money anymore. That is amazing. We have since found that they had been funding anti Gamergate stuff. We found that they were funding anti Lives of TikTok stuff. We found yeah, we'll have a separate episode. I really want to collect all the receipts on this because this is like this huge scandal, but the, the, they put.

Sent 4 million to the New York Times. What are they doing that for? This is, this is where the USA, this is where your tax dollars were going to create all of this nonsense. As we've also shown, Reddit largely astroturfed by the Fed as well. Wokeism doesn't exist. That's why the one thing the Fed forgot to do is to put a layout up for some money to buy these video games.

That the [00:04:00] companies were making for this audience. One of my favorite things that Asma Gold did recently, another guy was talking about this, the guy we have a big overlap with, the little troll guy. Anyway this really was like all of this pushback, all of this insanity that came for our video games.

Never should have, never should have touched the video games. That's when they crossed the line. That was when they crossed the line. We were all just in our rooms, not political, game for the video games. But I want to get to this piece because this piece is insane.

Simone Collins: Yeah, so it is titled, Elon Musk's War on Head Start Childhood Education Exposes How Quote unquote Pronatalists Are Really Anti Woman.

So, let's go into it. Thank you, Amanda Marcotte, for that beautiful, beautiful oh, oh, amazing. And actually, the subtitle of this article quotes you Malcolm, quote, you do not want to give money to women, unquote, declared one leader of the movement to make more babies. Beautiful, beautiful.

I'm going to start with the section that [00:05:00] focuses on us, because it will better demonstrate to our audience how intentionally lying the author of this article is writing for a mainstream newspaper, which I think will be shocking to you, because if you aren't close to a subject of a piece, you can sometimes think, well, maybe the truth is in between.

Maybe they're just being bombastic. And I think this shows just how just straight lies pretty much everything you read in something like Salon is.

On Tuesday, the Washington Post published the approximately billionth profile of Simone and Malcolm Collins, whose entire existence is built around getting soft focus media coverage meant to represent, misrepresent the toxicity of their natalist ideology.

Okay, first off, that's insulting, because we actively try To, to

bring in

negative, like, negative coverage. We, we ask people, like, when journalists come, we're like, Hey, make this controversial, or no one's gonna read it. So, soft focus, excuse me? [00:06:00] Ouch. She continues, The two are thin, wear nerdy glasses, and repeatedly swear up and down that they're neither racist nor sexist, which is often credulous audiences to code them as, quote, liberal, unquote, or at least not MAGA.

We are the most MAGA! Why does she have to point out that we're thin? Like, one, is thin just a sign that we're evil? Like in Star Trek Troopers?

Malcolm Collins: Being fit, being thin, going to a gym, people talk about all of these as like negative signs. It's like, there's like posts about how to know if your kid is getting influenced by red pill ideology.

And it's like, is he working out? Is he masturbating less?
