  • It was just a matter of time (and don't be mistaken, he will act on it), but the general population sadly won't give a fuck (that's the only purpose we serve those in power, always have - a litmus test to see how comfortable the general population is with inflicting suffering on to and even exterminating groups of people), if anything a lot more than just maga people will be cheering this shit on, or at the very least "passively" supporting it (even if they don't think they are, saying shit like "stupid people shouldn't breed"* is the same eugenicist shit).

    The usage of IQ as a measure of anything at all is in itself deeply eugenicist (so ableist, but also racist, classist, and sexist), but try telling people that and see how quickly you get dogpiled by so so many desperate to cling on to the sense of superiority an arbitrary number (which often came from an online quiz, though tbf, those are about as valid as a professionally administered one) gives them. It's so problematic on so many levels, and serves no purpose but to divide and oppress.

    I agree, it really is fucking scary..

    E: *like several variations in the replies to this very post, people seriously need to do better.
