Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Does he not know that would mandate the entire government to be executed?

How does this interact with male doctors' right to deny women elective sterilizations based on their hypothetical future husband's desire for a kid?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

The women are demonstrating too much intelligence (and independence) by seeking control of their own bodies

Eugenic at its finest. Galton would be proud of them.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

So, they'll start with red state Trump voters, yes?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago

So… the trump party? That’s the biggest chunk of low iq trash I can think of

[–] [email protected] 114 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

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.

It seems that Trump and Kennedy are going to lose their balls then. ✂️ A minute of silence. 😔

IQ tests don't measure intelligence. It measures how good you are at passing an IQ test.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every tests measures first and foremost how well one takes that test. There are many IQ tests with varying usefulness.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Nope. IQ measures how Western you are.

We cannot test intelligence. That's what the creator of the IQ test concluded after the eugenics championed their attempt to do so.

Orrr we could sterilize fascists while the rest of us work towards egalitarianism and protecting the sanctity of life unlike these degenerates.

No, really, people like this should get a maximum of three comments on racial purity per lifetime before they get a guillotine to the nutsack.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's eugenics just the same.

Best case would be for Thanos to come and we convince him to snap his fingers and sterilize a random 90% of the human population. That would solve the majority of our problems

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Fascists are a threat to all life, including those that they define as their ingroup. They just feed them into the military machine in perpetuity. Totally on board with an antifascist Thanos.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Oh look.

Eugenics.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Anyone happen to tell Republicans that those are their voters?

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago

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...

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.”

Pretty sure he means anyone not white. That's most people in the world.

OP's article is 3 months old, being dated 2025-02-11.

I did Nazi that coming.

Start with Trump. I recommend steam sterilization - it's the cheapest option, and kills nearly all traces of bioburden.

There are a few chemical options as well, such as hydrogen peroxide plasma.
