they’re really just spitballing genocide huh
We’re going straight to eugenics in under a month? Jesus fuck.
ETA: Also, you chucklefucks, I already got fixed years ago because of the horrific state of affairs in the world. I find it morally reprehensible to bring children into this world given what we know about climate change alone. Political shifts are just icing.
So… Trump voters?
They could start with Trump and Musk.
Too late, the bastards have already bred.
Ah, the White Nationalism to Eugenics to Nazism pipeline is alive and well, it seems.
Less of a pipeline and more of… a fetid pool of shit
"Abstract - The first negative eugenic measure passed by the Hitler regime in July 1933 was the forced sterilization law, which primarily targeted neuropsychiatric patients with “feeble mindedness,” schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Also included were Huntington’s chorea, bipolar disorder, and alcoholism, along with other congenital defects.” - https://academic.oup.com/book/40410/chapter-abstract/347295636
Not surprised, but didn’t expect to see this quite this early into the Trump regime.

But then who’ll vote them back in based on vague promises to fix the price of eggs and absolutely no track record of helping ordinary people?
Unless…
Unless
Exactly.
They’re just so eager to pull their masks off, like. Like, there is only so much algorithm manipulation can do to obscure observable reality from their audience.
They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence
Or fake social security checks going through when some idiot breaks the COBOL code that runs federal payments system.
I wonder how far they would walk that comment back when they learn how common high intelligence is among people who are neurodivergent.
The real reason they said high IQ probably lies in the fact that it’s an incredibly biased test, with Black and Hispanic students performing worse compared to White and Asian students
And technically having an IQ that’s 2 or more standard deviations outside the norm makes you neurodivergent, by some definitions of the word. That means everyone who can get into Mensa can be considered neurodivergent by definition.
Heh, that’s a good take on Mensa. IQ tests at the higher difficulty questions, add some aspect of “lateral thinking” to spot a pattern, which is another way of saying “thinking out of the box”, or a type of neurodivergence.
How long until the return of phrenology?
At this rate?
Probably next Tuesday.
Not the type of speed run I was hoping for :-/
Destroy the USA any% run
First you need the baseball bat phase … where they beat each other over the head to produce enough bumps so that the phrenologists can analyze them.
No, altering the personality by adding bumps is retrophrenology.
“Pay smart people to have more kids, disincentivize stupid people from having kids."
Why?
Dingledorf assumes smart people breed smart kids and stupid people breed stupid kids?
Title of article should be “Stupid Person makes Stupid Assumptions”
assumes smart people breed smart kids and stupid people breed stupid kids
From a “nature + nurture” point of view in a primitive world, it can be argued that people who strike the combo, are “more likely” to both pass on their own genetic predisposition, and be “more prepared” to raise their kids up to a similar standard.
In a modern world though, I’d still rather have professional teachers take care of the nurture part, and shut up about nature at least until someone can unequivocally point to the “smartness genes”… at which point I’d ask for a GMO cat with a 200 IQ, yay!
More like “known nazi repeats ancient nazi talking points about eugenics”
“Low IQ Person Requests Sterilisation”
We’ll start with whoever’s behind the resolute desk
Look at the article, scroll down about half way and look at Carlson’s face (I know that’s a painful thought but just humour me) then tell me you didn’t burst out laughing.
Isnt that his neutral facial expression?
Oh boy.
How do they have the courage to say this? Them and their biggest supporters will be the first on the list
