We have an overpopulated planet and if we continue to allow really stupid people to breed all we are creating is more fucking tards like this guy. There should be very serious testing at around age 20, and if you dont pass: sterilised. Sure this is harsh, and inhuman many will claim, but I really do believe it would make a better world.
You were not really being serious about that, were you?
Do you really think, if that was up to you, that you would enforce such a rule?
That just sounded like an extremely childish statement.
Something of a kind like "Let's punish the people who shoot homeless dogs with death penalty" or "People who commited a murder should be killed by the law".
History lesson time!
History has a tendency to repeat it self, exactly as we see right wing ideologies (neo-cookies/nationalism) rising in Europe once again, which is the same type of people who supported eugenics in the past.
Eugenics isn't exactly a new or groundbreaking ideology though, forced sterilization was practiced in Europe all the way up until 1975, by
Sweden. They did that because the state/people believed it would be the best for their country.
Denmark had their own eugenics crusader too, K.K.Steincke, circa 1920 though, he was after anyone who was different, if you were lazy, unintelligent, mentally inept, anyone who was a little weird or just poor; based on the notion that "they would pollute the Danish gene pool".
1891, Virginia Woodhull, first woman to ever run for a presidential election in the US, said: "
The best heads of our time has accepted the fact that if we want the best 'people' they have to be bred, and if imbeciles, criminals and poor people plus other maladjusted individuals are unwanted citizens, they must not be bred"
1909, John Franklin Bobbitt wrote the article "Practical eugenics" where his argument for eugenics were that the best 'race' included protestant anglosaxon and german blood because of "unique purity, high average hygiene, health and strength".
There's the Tuskegee experiment (forced sterilization on women) 1929-1967, just because they had a larger desire for sex than was acceptable to 'people'.
WW2 of course and all the eugenics the cookie people did.
All this fear of other people, or the ideal of 'pure bloodlines' and other unscientific nonsense has grounds in fascism (and branches thereof) which isn't a deviation, they're part of the history of racism and our whole human existence (sadly), it goes all the way back to around the 11c's fear of Jewish people, or even the first Russian pogrom etc.
In the 17c the English started reflecting over why they had the right to rule the world, and the answer was "Because God gave them the right", because they The English were civilized and everyone else they conquered were barbaric half devil/humans, so "naturally" everybody had to fall under the English's way of 'civilization' if need be by power.
That is why in Europe up until WW2, perhaps somewhat after and as we can see even today (?) there's opinions and attitudes which believes white christian europeans are all other peoples superior, and that is why 'they' have the right to throw everyone else out of Europe. These sort of opinions were common once, not just by the elite but by the people, circa 1930 up until 1950.
There's of course more to it than what I shortly mentioned above — Belgium in Congo, English in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, Germans in Namibia — but we're already in TLDR land ;)
