Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Dear conservatives.
If you want eugenics allow people to abort and do generic testing on their kids before they're born. It accomplishes the same thing without the brutal state control and human rights violations.
Well, that's the problem. They can't control people without those two components. It's not really eugenics if it just naturally emerges from individual choices.
Ew yeah. I hate generic kids.
Axiom: Once you’ve met a Noah or Emma, you don’t need to meet another.
But I want to meet Emma Watson...
Actually, I don't. I'll be so cringy, onlookers will die of second hand embarrassment.
What? No they don't want eugenics to eliminate diseases. They want it to eliminate Jews, and weirdly also pitbulls.
It's a stepping stone.
They can't say Black people are stupid criminals because they're descendants of slaves.
So they say pitbulls are violent psychopaths because they were (supposedly) bred to be tough and aggressive. They act like all that matters is they're pitbulls, and it's nothing anyone can change because "that's just science"
The implication is individual variation doesn't exist and any population that's been artificially separated for a couple generations makes them inherently different.
Racists have always loved taking a tiny grain of truth out of context and then just bullshitting till they end up with their preconceived result. Then if anyone challenges it, they grab that tiny grain of truth out of their giant mound of shit and claims that proves everything.
But that wouldn't satisfy their sense of self righteous vengeance. If you prevent a problem altogether, there'd be nobody to punish for it.
But where can they realize their sadistic genocide fantasies?
The brutality is a feature, not a bug.
So Gattaca?
