    Dear conservatives.

    If you want eugenics allow people to abort and do generic testing on their kids before they’re born. It accomplishes the same thing without the brutal state control and human rights violations.

      Well, that’s the problem. They can’t control people without those two components. It’s not really eugenics if it just naturally emerges from individual choices.

        It’s a stepping stone.

        They can’t say Black people are stupid criminals because they’re descendants of slaves.

        So they say pitbulls are violent psychopaths because they were (supposedly) bred to be tough and aggressive. They act like all that matters is they’re pitbulls, and it’s nothing anyone can change because “that’s just science”

        The implication is individual variation doesn’t exist and any population that’s been artificially separated for a couple generations makes them inherently different.

        Racists have always loved taking a tiny grain of truth out of context and then just bullshitting till they end up with their preconceived result. Then if anyone challenges it, they grab that tiny grain of truth out of their giant mound of shit and claims that proves everything.

      But that wouldn’t satisfy their sense of self righteous vengeance. If you prevent a problem altogether, there’d be nobody to punish for it.
