Trump State Department official has called for mass sterilization of ‘low-IQ trash’
Trump State Department official has called for mass sterilization of ‘low-IQ trash’
The march to Nazism takes another step
They can start in the Oval Office.
Seems weird that they'd want to go after their voter base so publicly.
Who needs voters, when you do not have elections?
So maga folks. Lol
That's going to cost them votes in the long run, if their base can't reproduce.
Start with Trump.
He is probably too old already.
Men don't age out of fertility. Though if we're going to start force-sterilizations, why not just euthanize the fucker?
Bold emphasis is mine
But idea of offering** feral populations **financial incentives for voluntary sterilization is completely taboo.
Wow, just wow.
When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).
Sure... some new sneaks for never being able to procreate? Sounds legit (heavy /s obviously)
I have a suspicion where this is being aimed at:
It's not politically correct to say, but low-IQ, low-impulse control populations lack higher reasoning and moral faculties - they require strict corporal punishment and threat of violence to function properly within a society.
It's the people RFK is targeting - people with Autism, ADHD, other neurodivergent conditions, the physically and mentally disabled. Cull the ones who are already "diseased" and leave the healthier ones to live one and procreate. At least that's my suspicion here - basically they're pushing the discourse towards an acceptance of some form of eugenics. It's terrifying.
The point in the last quote - 'to function properly within a society' is really a veiled form of saying - 'you will work until you die in whatever way we see fit'.
There's a similar push in the UK to get disabled people into any job, seemingly regardless of suitability, workplace accommodations (despite there being legal requirements to make such things) - and the way this is being done is to effectively penalise them financially by sanctioning the disability allowances, refusing PIP (Personal Independence Payment) and forcing those with lifelong conditions to undergo a full review every year. This pretty much can starve out someone into finding a way to live that means the Government pays less and the quality of life the person has is drastically reduced owing to the various stressors inflicted on them. The whole thing is a shitshow and is being argued about a lot at the moment in our Government parties.
Can disabled people work? For sure, and many do. Can all disabled people work? No, but the Government is going to make damn sure that you at least try, and if you fail, then find another job cause we ain't supporting you now we know you can work regardless of how effective you are... From a Govt statement:
We’re determined to fix the broken benefits system as part of our Plan for Change by reforming the welfare system and delivering proper support to help people get into work and get on at work, so we can get Britain working and deliver our ambition of an 80% employment rate.
In other words, to "function properly within a society".
...did you read the same text i did?..that was fcking code-speak for urban black populations...
The Air Jordans comment especially was a dead giveaway.
"When you've only seen Boss Baby, all other movies get related to Boss Baby."
For some people, their induction to civil rights (and blatant civil rights abuses) has been the recent, overt pushback against neurodivergence or the LGBT+.
Seems that, but can be aimed at anyone different from what their herd considers normal too.
And the herd never barks at psychopaths, because it fears them. It's the non-predatory conditions that the herd openly hates.
holy shit that's literally social darwinism. that's some nazi shit.
So they gonna set up radiation booths at rallies?
The irony. I bet most MAGA have sub-median IQ. But apart from that:
That stance of mass-sterilization is quite a hefty turnaround from "people should have more children", which we heard just a few months ago.
I don't want to be a doomer, but the economic prospects are bad. Lots of people already struggle to make end's meet, and if the mass layoffs of white collar workers due to AI are real, it will be even worse. Notice that it doesn't matter whether you think that AI can replace people, it only matters whether companies think that AI can replace people. Now, having children costs a lot of money, at least $100K, depending on where you live, and i understand people being reluctant about having children.
I also think that it's politician's job to improve the living conditions of the people, and GOP might actually for once be doing its job if it starts educating people about the socio-economic implications of having kids.
I also advocate for UBI (universal basic income), but the way i see it today, there's a high likelyhood that it will come, but will be too little to actually cover cost-of-living costs. I.e., it might be a "support", providing $400/month no-strings-attached and it would definitely improve the living conditions of many people, especially in low-income households. But it would still not solve all problems.
Good, white people should have more children. Just like Lebensborn in Nazi Germany. And they also did this forced sterilization thing on "unworthy lifes".
I don't want to appear snobbish, but if economic prospects are bad, then you need even more people. In economics scale makes everything better.
Basic food is, if we think about it, very cheap. Even the USSR managed to solve that problem. Everyone could find buckwheat\rice\some other grain\potatoes\vegetables to eat, salt sold for food was mandated to be iodized, for prevention of scurvy even on very basic diet, and some (bad, ugly, but edible) fish conserves were generally available everywhere, also "sea cabbage".
Depending on area there'd also be (bad, thin, kinda soup-only, not the broilers you're used to, though about USA I've read that food products quality is not nice generally) chicken, some fish, some meat. Some fruit, something else. The previous paragraph described the baseline that was always there.
So hunger is avoidable even if the economy sucks huge stinking donkey balls.
If hunger is avoidable, having more people is, of course, a disadvantage in terms of social conflicts, but they don't have to fear that - the most angry and dumb part of the population is voting for them.
Notice that it doesn’t matter whether you think that AI can replace people, it only matters whether companies think that AI can replace people. Now, having children costs a lot of money, at least $100K, depending on where you live, and i understand people being reluctant about having children.
There's a bit of tunnel vision here, I think. It costs that to have children in the USA, but in Mexico it'd be cheaper probably.
That's because value is created by labor, if your labor isn't needed and you don't have a job, then you'd still produce value if you had one. And when you can't afford something, that disadvantaged labor might produce it. OK, I'm a shitty explainer, what I mean is that, if there are no regulations directly preventing it, there's a feedback of creating another bucket of demand and thus jobs to fulfill it. Not an economist.
I also advocate for UBI (universal basic income), but the way i see it today, there’s a high likelyhood that it will come, but will be too little to actually cover cost-of-living costs. I.e., it might be a “support”, providing $400/month no-strings-attached and it would definitely improve the living conditions of many people, especially in low-income households. But it would still not solve all problems.
It might create hyperinflation, first and foremost affecting those owning money and not assets. And your average person is more dependent on money as opposed to assets than a businessman or a company or a fund. I'm not an economist, that's just how I see it.
As the contradictions grow with capitalism, they will fuel the revolutionary change of the proletariat...
The irony. I bet most MAGA have sub-median IQ.
Not all conservatives are stupid, they're too easy a pool to grift from but overwhelming, stupid people are conservative.
"I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. - John Stuart Mill
Judging from them aping Hungarian "pro-natalist" programs like the tax-writeoff, when they mean "we need more babies", they mean "we need more white babies from high-IQ families".
Context: The tax-writeoff for children actually comes from The Bell Curve, and Hungary first tried to implement it to try to incentivize richer people to have more kids, since they would get more money per child from the state. It got repealed by the centrist-liberal MSZP-SZDSZ after Fidesz lost the 2002 elections. However, to please the more right-libertarian parts of the SZDSZ, the replacement of it was technically a welfare trap, as some people could get more money from it than the minimum wage, which forced a lot of Roma people with bigger to either not work at all, or to work illegally, and ultimately created a hot bed for the local far-right to create their own brand of "welfare queen" narratives. While it wasn't as bad as the far-right wanted to paint it, them really focusing on a few crime cases commited by Roma (similar to the whole Casey Riley situation), they spinned the narrative to their side. And later on adding the disabled to the mix thanks to godawful jokes about the intellectually disabled then successfully convincing people that "rt** might be too stupid to even stand up thus they might be in wheelchair", used Forrest Gump to convince that disabled people only get jobs out of pity and "connections", and that "rich G*psy drug dealers pretend to be amputees to get enough welfare money for Mercedeses" (turned out that many of those cars belonged to old white lawyers). After the 2010 election, we got back our tax-writeoffs, and all our welfare system got destroyed in order to build a "work based society".
Also if you ask, the myth of "women using frequent abortions instead of birth control" came from that very same era of Hungarian politics, likely from Tamás "Tomcat" Polgár, who made embarassingly bad and fashy games before AndyPants.
What a wild read ! thanks for that
I bet most MAGA have sub-median IQ.
So they're clearing out the current administration?
One fucking month ago we, for the first time in human history, cured a genetic disease in a human at the DNA level, using gene editing techniques that fixed a 10-month-old's liver specifically without altering the rest of his body's DNA (thus preserving genetic diversity). Are we really going to start fucking genociding people while we stand at the very goddamn cusp of cleanly subduing genetic disorders?? And we're going to fucking revive measles and polio while we're at it?
Frustrations aside, I hadn't heard of that but damn that's quite an awesome thing. Weird how you can have hope and despair for the future simultaneously.
And we’re going to fucking revive measles and polio while we’re at it?
Yep. Thats the US right now.
checks notes yes
IIRC, the Trump Regime defunded that research. The ghouls don't understand that looking after everyday people is the key to figuring out cures for rich fuckers.
Seriously, the wealthy don't understand that they achieved their great height from standing on the backs of ordinary folks. They will take quite a tumble when society falls apart, due to their stupidity and greed.
Seriously, the wealthy don't understand that they achieved their great height from standing on the backs of ordinary folks
Oh no, they absolutely understand that, and if they have to they would stand on a pile of corpses rather than let their steppy stools get out from under them
That’s probably a factor in their moves to bring back child labor, if your serfs keep dropping dead from easily fixed diseases you just need more workers for the mine and problem sorted. It’s both exciting to see the success we’ve had in science and terrifying to think of the future since they’re just straight up running the Nazi playbook again, last time they didn’t have access to CRISPR so things might get a lot worse in the eugenics chapter.
You dont need access to CRISPR if they just make being brown a crime again like it was in the 1900s
Looks like nobody gives a shit.
Sounds like he needs to get sterilized by his own logic.
Wait, wait, wait. I thought they were just bitching that we don’t have enough people, now they want mass sterilization? Can they make up their minds?
They want to do a Nazi. Basically, find something they can encapsulate as a minority, remove them, and then move in on their assets to sate their loyalist's hunger. It's the alternative when these sort of people don't have a Palestine they can ransack. I can only imagine the amount of corruption between the immigrants being deported and the ICE agents peddling over everything they were forced to leave behind, it probably makes civil forfeiture abuses seem like peanuts now.
Read "low IQ" as non-white. That's what they want to remove.
No in trumps mind, EVERYONE who disagrees with him is “low IQ”
Yeah, I feel like people are missing the part where he literally said "Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.)"
He is very clearly talking about a certain demographic, but because he didn't explicitly say it, he can still deny it. But we all know exactly what he meant.
Pretty sure it’s just their voters they’re referring to.
You will literally purge Trump voters first. Statistically republicans have lower IQs. Fuckin Mein Kamf reading idiots.
reading? lol... they just roughly know what it's about; that's why they like it. none of them fucking reads it.
The shitheads rambles imply that any one who is not straight or white is low IQ trash.
Not ya know.. stastically proven morons like you said.
These people never mean what they say. And by that I don't mean the "sterilisation" part, I mean the "low iq" part.
You're correct, if they had any authenticity. However this is a dog c whistle to man "people we don't like". Basically non white right wingers
You are, incorrectly, assuming that they are going to administer the tests in a traditional fashion (a fashion which is, already, deeply racist).
It's going to be a new kind of IQ test requiring the use of a manila envelope.
This is a reference to something but I can't put my finger on it
You're really assuming they read.
To be fair they at least know how to read names. Mostly.
Because thinking Trump isn't perfect and local MAGA having your name down as "troublemaker" or refused to hate on transfolk won't get you automatically graded as lowest-IQ.
Yep.
....soooo Trump voters?
It's so funny that these maga hogs think they're the peak of humanity
He can start with himself
Yeah, they don’t want this to happen. It would kill off their base. I guess it wouldn’t matter once they’re in a permanent officialdom, but if you’re trying to run a democracy, that ain’t working.
The US is a fascist state. They are enacting Nazi policies such as:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_unworthy_of_life
RFKs autism list will lead to life unworthy of life.
That's a lot of MAGA to sterilize.
You think they don’t have a very specific definition of “intelligence” in mind that might not include their own voters?
American eugenicists tended to believe in the genetic superiority of Nordic, Germanic, and Anglo-Saxon peoples, supported strict immigration and anti-miscegenation laws, and supported the forcible sterilization of the poor, disabled and "immoral."[13]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_in_the_United_States
So just standard Republican Nazi shit.
Back in the day, eugenics in the US was most enthusiastically promoted by the progressives such as the family planning movement, early feminists and the temperance movement (and those movements overlapped and allied with each other at times).
Wasn't Harvard and such mixed up in it as well? Phrenology and race. If people knew history, we wouldn't be staring down the barrel of the current nightmare.
The problem is they can't find enough racists who happen to have that background.... So south Africa white people who used to have servants is where they're at. I got German, English, Italian, Netherlands and Spanish friends and they are very nice people.
So Republicans?
Yep, where do I sign? Is there a petition or vote?
Same here, you need signatures?, start with me.
Wait...why cull their voter base?
They don't need voters any more.
I have a feeling they're going to define anyone who has a college degree and leans anywhere to the left of conservative extremism "low IQ trash".
Yep, the Nazis defined socialists as degenerates, so I expect any sign of empathy to be seen as a sign of low IQ.
Shit! I just paid for a vassecectomy!
Yeah, that's why they're trying to make questioning Trump's greatness a mental disorder. So they can identify us as irredeemable to dispose of us
Probably worse, enemies or the state. Anyone not in lock step will be put in a camp...prolly about a year out...stay safe
Your college degree will be the new “Star of David” to identify you to the authorities.
Maybe, but I think it will probably start with the amount of melanin you may have first.
I read the article. He defined it as people that like the Fast and the Furious franchise.
I’m not entirely opposed to his suggestion.
Most of Trump's base was probably cheering him on until he got to this part:
"The same low-IQ trash who watch the fast and furious franchise."
Eugenics..
Don’t be suprised if they add gas chambers to RFK’s wellness farms.
The original nazis got eugenics from the US. That's why there were so many sympathizers prior to Pearl Harbor. They faded into the background after WWII got going, but they never went away.
Eugenics was fairly popular worldwide until Hitler, US included.
The Sympathisers didnt change their tune over Pearl Harbor. PH was a Japanese attack. not a German one
Japan and Germany were aligned with each other, but People who agreed with Hitler didnt just suddenley change their mind because their Asian allies attacked them in the Pacific.
Eugenics also includes in-vitro sterilization and selecting against horrible illnesses like sickle-cell anemia. Nazism, and what Beattie is proposing, is the dark side of eugenics, but eugenics is not inherently bad. Please try to look past the propaganda.
It’s important to separate the personal from the political here. You’re right that not every instance of genetic selection is equivalent to Nazi-style eugenics. But you say that eugenics is “not inherently bad” without really looking at proper definitions or recognising the deep social and historical baggage it carries, especially in how it’s been used to justify racism, ableism, and state violence, and that risks repeating the same logic that allowed those atrocities in the first place.
Choosing not to pass on genetic diseases through voluntary IVF and screening isn’t the same as state-led population engineering which is what eugenics often refers to politically. The key difference is consent and context.
When you talk about selecting against diseases like sickle-cell anaemia, you also have to ask: who defines what counts as a “horrible illness”? Who decides which lives are worth living? (For example, your example of sickle cell anemia comes with the caveat that this illness makes one immune to malaria, which is why it evolved in a significant chunk of the subsaharan african population. Yet Sickle cell anemia was also a favourite scapegoat by 20th century eugenicists to argue that african genes were “inferior”).
Historically, eugenics has disproportionately targeted disabled people, people of colour, poor people, communities with less power. Even modern-day genetic screening isn’t free from those power dynamics. So, no, it’s not “propaganda” to be against eugenics, it’s a necessary ethical stance informed by history and lived experience.
And the IVF example isn’t really eugenics as it is understood. For example, here is the wikipedia definition of eugenics:
Eugenics (/juːˈdʒɛnɪks/ yoo-JEN-iks; from Ancient Greek **εύ̃ (eû) 'good, well' and **-γενής (genḗs) 'born, come into being, growing/grown')[1] is a set of largely discredited beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population.[2][3][4] Historically, eugenicists have attempted to alter the frequency of various human phenotypes by inhibiting the fertility of those considered inferior, or promoting that of those considered superior.
So a better example of eugenics is for example the nazi slaughter of 80% of people with schizophrenia. Thinking that by “removing the bad genes” schizophrenia will go away. Yet modern day germany has an average rate of schizophrenia, so that didn’t work. (Ignoring that fact it was literally genocide and is morally apprehensible in nearly every way).
“When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”
Holy shit. What a piece of shit.
Offer MAGA a chance to hunt with Ted Nugent or pit row seats at a NASCAR race, that will get unlimited stupid removed from the gene pool.
Just a quick reminder that the US Supreme Court affirmed the federal government's right to sterilize citizens in Buck v. Bell and it's never been walked back.
So that's cool.
Nazi fucks busting out the calipers?
Thought i was reading the onion for a second
More proof that their alarmism about declining birth rates is bullshit
So they stop funding education and now they can want to sterilise low IQ individuals. Seems like a well thought out strategy
"You got a vasectomy because it was forced on you for having low IQ. I got a vasectomy because I refuse to subject another human to this batshit world. We are not the same."
Which begs the question, how are they going to juxtapose this bullshit with the "nobody is having babies to sustain my precious system!1!32!@!!"
Is he talking about Musk?
Right on schedule. These guys are following a playbook...step by step https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-biological-state-nazi-racial-hygiene-1933-1939
OP's article is 3 months old, being dated 2025-02-11.
The soap boxes, ballot boxes, and jury boxes didnt work.
the Nazis are laughing that you're calling them Nazis, all while they're making plans to kill you.
Harbor freight got the boxes you need for like $3 a piece. It's on you to fill them though
The fact that there are Nazis in the US government, and that that fact is met with an attitude of "Oh well!" instead of torches and pitchforks is what makes modern USA sickening.
So, themselves?
Yep, again just following Hitlers Playbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_sterilization#Germany
That was one of the first laws that the Nazis enacted...
Hello to my Americans friends, and an outsider looking in, we have a very famous saying about the situation you're currently in. It roughly translates to, "holy fucking shit, you guys are totally fucked". Honestly I'm baffled by the seeming lack of tangible response from the general public, I understand 30 odd % voted for this and another 30 or so couldn't be bothered. But the rest of you should be shutting down everything, how are you just holding these weekend protests and hoping for change. Cripple the bloody country! The longer you wait the worse it gets.
Sincerly someone who knows what Dictatorships are.
I'm an Australian. We have a similar phrase with the same translation. In our language, we say: "cunts fucked"
I love the versatility of the way Aussies use the word cunt.
I feel this way every time I wake up. I am a pretty avid history enthusiast. I know what the parallels are. I know the direct analogies to what’s happening here now.
It ultimately boils down to the fact that the vast majority of the country is unable to mount a general protest because we’re all wage slaves, and healthcare is tied to having a job here, so we’re all predominantly conditioned to be nice little worker lemmings for the most part. And then there’s the imbecilic “exceptionalist” streak that a lot of people have, which is more or less the societally-toxic idea that you’re just a temporarily inconvenienced billionaire who hasn’t come into their own yet.
"It ultimately boils down to the fact that the vast majority of the country is unable to mount a general protest because we’re all wage slaves, and healthcare is tied to having a job here, so we’re all predominantly conditioned to be nice little worker lemmings for the most part."
That's the problem right there, right now you NEED action, no revolution was won and no government overthrown by people tweeting, and we all know how well "Thoughts and prayers" works.
That's fair, but I think that a non insignificant number of people just don't care. Yes, protests in big cities seem large, but like the other commenter was saying, only 1/3 of people really oppose this. And some of that 1/3 don't oppose it particularly strongly if at all. I know lifelong Rs that luckily didn't vote for Trump, but mostly because he doesn't stand on ceremony. They voted Harris, but they legitimately have no problem with rounding up immigrants and attacks on the LGBT community. Local resistance is just not really possible when 1/3 of your neighbors have trump flags in their yard, 1/3 think your resistance is stupid and maybe 25% of the remaining 1/3 care enough to join some of the time. How do you do a work stoppage if only 1/12 of your colleagues would even consider it. I'm not saying resistance is futile, but I don't think it's about the wage slave issue as much as it is that there's no real public will to stop this. Wage slave issue is of course still a problem and likely contributing factor.
Honestly I'm baffled by the seeming lack of tangible response from the general public
The general public will never hear about this, and those that do, won't believe it.
I fled the country, so it's been fascinating looking in from the outside while still having a stake vis-à-vis all the people I love back home.
On the inside, the people that matter are terrified. It's easy to tell someone to grab a rifle and "do something", but the average person is now more focused on their own immediate survival than anything else. People are losing access to life saving medicine, they're worried about catching a life threatening illness, and basic costs of living (rent, food, health, etc) are getting more expensive. Even privileged people are starting to feel the screws tightening. The US is a ticking time bomb and something is going to give at some point, but it's going to have to get significantly worse first.
On the outside, everyone understands why we fled. My new country has been so incredibly welcoming and sympathetic, with a hint of curiosity. I realized yesterday while I was reading about the Philly mass shooting that I've yet to hear of a single mass shooting where I am, and I immediately felt a sense of relief.
Edit: wording
"but it’s going to have to get significantly worse first." Unfortunately given what we (the rest of the world are seeing) I think you're right, but it just makes no sense to me (who comes from the middle east, had to flee civil war and lived in the west) how easily it seems to be for this administration to literally dismatle the US as we know it.
"but the average person is now more focused on their own immediate survival than anything else. People are losing access to life saving medicine. They’re worried about catching a life threatening illness, and food costs double what it used to" This, in hindsight has been a strategy that has worked brilliantly in controlling the general population.
Well done for getting out and giving yourself this peace of mind).
The media is compromised. People are organizing but you're not hearing about it for the most part. No one's talking about it on public forums for obvious reasons. You will start hearing about it when things come to a head.
Yes we know.
I'm and American and yeah, I figured that one out for myself years ago. A lot of us did. There's just not much we can fucking do about it.
There is actually, unfortunately it's a very hard choice and it will require sacrifice, be it jobs, etc, otherwise you'll end up being the worlds riches failed state.
I came in here to call Americans cowards but it looks like you’re already here making sure it’s covered.
Nazis gonna do nazi shit.
Wait a minute... deep in there he suggested incentivizing smart people to have babies. Like a handout? Susidized childcare, free healthcare for kids? He must be a socialist. Lol.
Oh he's a socialist alright... the "national" kind.
You could say he's some sort of... national socialist, even.
Also, improving sex education and access to contraceptives would almost certainly reduce the number of poor Black (which I'm about 100.2% certain is what he means by "low IQ") children being born, but I doubt he's in favour of that either...
That always did strike me odd that they are against such things. But I guess the greedy ones who want more poor people to exploit win out over the eugenics people onthat one.
He must be a socialist. Lol.
It's probably more like Robin Hood: take from the brown, give to the white.
Intelligence isn't genetic. Its determined by large set of environmental factors as well as societal ones
It's genetic and environmental (I'd argue that societal is a subset of environment - the society you live in is part of your environment).
IQ is far from a perfect measure for intelligence, but it has a high degree of inheritability - up to 80%.
However
As soon as malnutrition comes into play, IQ is automatically severely diminished. Add in all the other environmental factors too, and - it turns out we do have a lot more we can do to increase peoples intelligence, before resorting to eugenics.
I mean, the validity of IQ tests in general should be questioned when the largest variability in scoring is if you've previously studied for an IQ test followed by what language you speak.
Philosophically I don't really think there's a uniform agreement on what exactly defines general intellect, or if that general intellect even matters considering were a species that relies on specialization.
As far as heritability, I imagine that would be a horribly difficult topic to actually get enough research to rule out variables like socioeconomics and cultural differences. I mean I doubt there's that many twin studies to establish the efficacy any particular theory.
There's no evidence it's generic at all. It's very difficult to access 'intelligence' or make usable data about intelligence. You really can't test how intelligent people are, most of what we can test with repeatable results is skills, which famously can be improved over time reliably. To the point there's time estimates on how long it takes to be a skilled person in one ability or another. I work with special needs kids, and let me tell you, you learn real quick working with these kids that there's close to zero differences between them and their same age peers. People are very similar, and even people you'd consider rather foolish on a lot of metrics interacting with them, can be quite brilliant at what they are interested in and skilled in.
I don't know about intelligence, but it's well-known that IQ results are partially heritable genetically. (Yes, even when controlling for environment one is raised in.) Did you actually research this or did you make that up because it sounded nice?
That's not true at all. No biologist will agree that IQ tests produce usable data that shows anything of the sort, IQ tests are a skills test and the biggest skills it tests are studying for an IQ test and speaking English fluently.
I don't know if you know this, but Eugenics was bunk science and it's been shown to be nothing more than academic racism that holds no validity
Genetics are only a small fraction of what makes up intelligence. Is far more important as other commenters pointed out to have enough nutrition and the right type of education the right type of social environment.
It's also known by the MIT that race can be identified on X-rays using AI, and that doesn't mean much, does it?
So uhhh
When is their entire political party to be lobotomized?
well they just said they are thinking about it, those things takes time, let things start to roll
soooooo...... basically themselves?
So he doesn't want a future generation of Republican voters?
So I know you're joking but I want to make the point so there's no mistake from you or anyone scrolling by in what this guy means.
He means black people. Like the whole of this statement is targeted at black people in the US. Dude is a hard-r neonazi.
Oh I know that's the dog whistle. But fun fact, what he really means is anyone who's black, brown, or not the right kind of white... Oh, you also have to never disagree, even when it becomes clear that you're the right color, but the wrong class
I think the USA is taking a turn to the right more than americans care to admit. It's hard to believe some of these news.
Also, peace on Europe depends on those 1945 treaties. Things can't go wrong. Something needs to be thought up, and the destruction of universities don't help. Duke University and others work hard but guess what? A lot of them are on the United States.
This symbol of freedom won't go out without a bang. Who will support the world in these trying times? Which philosophers will bring the glue that holds us together? We need that.
Honestly, I think that America we knew needs to be broken, on progressive terms. The conservatives are aiming to shatter America, such as Curtiss Yarvin and Peter Thiel. As such, the best option is to oblige them by cutting them out of our society. That means taking control of real things, such as factories, farms, hospitals, mines, weather stations, water, and so forth.
They worship money. Let them have it, in its meaningless glory when there is no people nor property for it to command.
This is accelerationist bullshit. You're conveniently leaving out all of the innocent people that will die and face oppression while you allow fascists to destroy our country. Because you think that (somehow, against all evidence to the contrary) that the American people will replace it all with a progressive utopia.
It's short sighted and naive, at best.
Is it bad that my first thought was Emil Cioran?
70,0000
It's wild that such a typo could slip through. The number, according to the source cited in that article, is 70,000.
They probably intended 70,000 based on the comma placement.
The nazi's called them "useless eaters."
It's funny, because I've heard anti-natalists use the same turn of phrase.
How does this interact with male doctors' right to deny women elective sterilizations based on their hypothetical future husband's desire for a kid?
The women are demonstrating too much intelligence (and independence) by seeking control of their own bodies
The problem with abortion/sterilization isn't that we're "killing babies", it's that a certain group of conservatives don't get the opportunity to spike the football over a woman's stomach when the killings happen.
Like, ask any of those Pro-Life Red State Republicans think of the genocide in Gaza and you'll get a whole litany of "Fuck 'dem kids" and "Those were terrorist infants" and "It's actually antisemitic to mention the leveling of Al-Shifa Hospital". Ask them about the bombings in Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan and you'll get a mixed bag of "We were greeted as liberators" and "That never happened but if it did it was good". FFS, ask them about the kids in cages at the US/Mexico border and you'll get the same response.
The very term "Anchor Baby" should be all you need to hear in order to understand what Americans think of infants.
So… the trump party? That’s the biggest chunk of low iq trash I can think of
Basically, Darren is referring to the fucking MAGA voters.
Sadly this was inevitable.
I think it was in the skeptics guide to the universe book, they covered the history of eugenics.
It has a significant history in the US, and loads of ne'er-do-wells were sterilised before eugenics was adopted as a policy by the german nazi party.
All of these "inevitable" thresholds being crossed are picking up incredible speed though. At this rate they will have the civil war they're clearly trying to create in less than a full year tops.
He's a white supremacist. He means black people. Note the bold.
In October of that year, he responded to a video of people in a neighborhood in Atlanta, saying: “When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”
“Where do these population reduction conspiracies come from? All I see is trash multiplying,” he wrote in January 2023.
In May of that year, Beattie wrote on X that “It's not politically correct to say, but low-IQ, low-impulse control populations lack higher reasoning and moral faculties---they require strict corporal punishment and threat of violence to function properly within a society. Instead of anarcho-tyranny, we need Singapore for the dumb and violent, and Sweden for the more elevated.”
Where's those 2nd amendment lovers?
Let a nazi into a bar. He brings his friends. And it becomes a nazi bar.
That's free speech absolution In a nutshell. This is what it leads to.
The right to debate the merits for eugenics, genocide, ethnocide, and just straight up murder of those people I dont like, has turned into this, the rise of another Nazi Regime in all but name.
The sad thing is they aren't even the first. The argument can be made about a number of Regimes big and small, Russia and El Salvador for example. and they got to where they were long before Trump was back in the WH
FASCISM STATS +1
A better idea would be to sterilize people of low empathy.
Andy Warhol allegedly had an IQ around 80-90. But contributed a lot to society.
IQ as a measure of the value of people is bullshit, because it's an extremely narrow part of our combined intelligence that is measured.
For instance empathy is not part of an IQ test, but is a crucial feature for societies to work well. As societies with higher social intelligence function relatively better.
Something Trump is actively demonstrating right now. Remove empathy from how society works, and the losses are enormous.
Trump and his ilk do not understand that, because they don't have it.
I don't think there would be much actual measuring of IQ.
-I'm literally under water right now because of climate change
-Climate change is a hoax, you must have low IQ!
gets executed
But empathy is a weakness…
Side note: I’m autistic, so I might be approaching this differently from how others do, but is it so uncommon to know that you might be exploited and not care? I’ve put tampons in every shared bathroom I’ve used with any regularity, and sometimes they all get stolen. That sucks, but I can afford it, and maybe the person who took them all can’t. I once stocked a work bathroom with them four times in a month. Maybe one of my coworkers was getting one over on me, maybe all of my coworkers took two or three extra, maybe I saved one coworker’s budget. It doesn’t really matter to me. My buying tampons for people is a “weakness” in the sense that it is an exploitable tendency, but, like, so? I’ve got lots of exploitable tendencies, but I’m okay with that (and in fact, I prefer it).
I guess what I’m asking, is whether or not it’s just the nutso fascists who think exploitability is automatically a negative or whether that’s a common belief (that they’re expanding to include all forms of empathy) and I’m the odd one out? I don’t know if this can really be answered, lol.
I once stocked a work bathroom with them four times in a month.
I have no idea why you would do that? But maybe the reason they are taken is because they think it's the administration that puts the there.
To the question, it's obviously not nice to be exploited, and the one doing it is not a nice person. If someone continues to exploit, I definitely wouldn't support that.
It's only a weakness in a world where those without it have been allowed the same rights to participate in society as the rest of us, and haven't been made extinct. I'm not saying that's what we should do, but I'm saying that's what it would take to actually fix things.
Of course we're not going to do it... because we have too much empathy for them. So they win. Again. As always, and until the bitter end of humanity.
