Once again you have synopsized all the forces at play and their development. It’s almost too much to grasp mentally and emotionally. I find it takes hearing this from different perspectives. You have gathered them together so I can send it to myself and take time to reread and ponder. To describe these times as unprecedented is such an understatement We rely so much on your clear presentation of facts, but in a compassionate way. You give me strength to keep writing to my MP’s. And now I’ll start calling. I’m not good at this but we really are all in this together - even those not in the states. Thank you.

note to EVERYONE using the word "Eugenics", 76% of the USA does NOT KNOW what that means!! send this to people : Use smaller words to tell people eugenics means trying to decide who can have babies to make future people look or act a certain way.

Dang! I hate that this is true. But it IS true. Elimination of "the other" is what it is all about.

White supremacists went to South Africa like Musk’s grand/parents when Hitler’s Nazis were fighting in WWII.

They left South Africa at the end of apartheid bc the USA is the cradle of eugenics.

Not that it matters but ‘eugenics’ in the way they fantasize isn’t possible, scientifically speaking.

Unsurprisingly, it’s pseudoscience.

—If there were complex heritable traits harmful to human flourishing as a whole species that were completely heritable (almost none are) you would do nothing to prevent the traits in a larger population by eliminating the people that have them.

—Even if there were traits that were harmful to human flourishing as a species (there aren’t) that were purely heritable and you eliminated them in the population, they could be associated with other traits that are significant. Also, they would not always be displayed by people as they can occur at random, and can be recessive, etc. And many would likely simply re-occur.

None of their beliefs about heritability are proven true and many are already proven false.

Anyone who has these views doesn’t understand genetics, epigenetics, society, or humans or human development, or what causes humans to flourish as a species or the interaction between social contexts and human flourishing —or basically anything at all.

Obviously they don’t because they are destroying society, and causing want and psychological distress and so on which has terrible epigenetic effects, some of which can be lasting.

But also science is currently unable to unravel the complexity of these things, and none of the science points to the ideas these people have about breeding superior humans.

(Of course we know is that there are some genetic conditions which can be difficult to manage but which are manageable by social support—and none of these are a problem in a population or for society at large.)

Genetic diversity is very beneficial to us as a species though.

The entire murder program is based on the deep ignorance which stems from racism. Racism holds humans back as a species possibly more than any other thing. And it’s preventible, but not through eugenics, obviously.

There is also sadism involved. They simply want to kill people. This is a major motivation.

The tech bros break society down into bros, breeders, serfs and vermin. It is the Nazi platform in tech bro form.

Of course, MAGA have delusions of being part of the bros.

All of this is driven by greed laced with fear. If the system collapses, the bros are denounced.

Qasim, yes, yes, and yes again. this second reading is as challenging as the first. And, the regime has eliminated funding for CASA - court appointed special advocates - volunteers who are appointed to serve foster care children, befriending / allyship taking children to court appointments, meetings with the children and advocate for the children’s needs directly with state child welfare workers. DoJ cancelled grants for CASA volunteers as they “no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities”. did all of them grow up without ethics, morals or kindness? with most all of their “policies”, their version of great = grate as so many cracks widen and lives are progressively tenuous.

This is getting no attention. I had not heard this before. It’s coupled with all of the other attempts to be as cruel as possible.

Felon 47 is using an old play book. Nazi Germany studied the USA before they implemented their policies during the Holocaust.

Here’s what most people don’t know about the Nazi regime. They got rid of Jews, Afro-Germans, LGBTQIA, and the Disabled.

What most white people don’t know is that if they have a child with say, Down’s syndrome, they would have come for that child too.

Yep. All of this is well planned fascism.

Every word you wrote is the raw, ugly truth — and I’m with you without an inch of daylight between us.

Structural eugenics is evil. Full stop.

Dress it up in policies, hide it in bureaucracy, smear lipstick on it with “patriotism” or “parental rights” — it’s still the same monstrous lie: that some people deserve life, dignity, and safety, and others don’t.

This isn’t mismanagement.

This isn’t ignorance.

This is murder by neglect — targeted, deliberate, and strategic.

And it’s happening in broad daylight.

When a government tracks women’s cycles instead of COVID deaths — that’s structural eugenics.

When it hunts trans kids while ignoring the spread of measles — that’s structural eugenics.

When it silences critics, demonizes minorities, and shrinks public health until only the wealthy and the “approved” survive — that’s structural eugenics.

And let’s be absolutely clear:

Eugenics is not just an error of the past. It is a crime against humanity — whenever and wherever it appears.

What Trump and his MAGA lackeys are doing isn’t “politics as usual.”

It’s the slow, grinding theft of life itself from the people they deem expendable.

History isn’t going to judge this lightly — and neither should we.

You don’t reason with eugenicists.

You don’t meet them halfway.

You stand up. You fight. You refuse to let them decide who gets to live with dignity and who doesn’t.

Thank you for calling it out.

I’m in. All the way.

Covid 19 management has been eugenics since 2020 and sadly through Biden’s admin after initial vaccine rollout. The disabled community tried to warn that it was not just about Covid eugenics but a litmus test, a slippery slope into your bullet points of structural eugenics. The But they were ignored. Just like if there’s no due process for one, not for all. If there’s not value of life for one, not for all and becoming disabled is the largest marginalized group one can become a part of in a snap of a freak accident, diagnosis or mild Covid infection. It’s the real test of “it doesn’t matter until it impacts you” on the entire political spectrum.

Yup. I remember how many corporations were like "we cannot possibly do work from home for disabled people" until COVID hit and then suddenly it was magically okay for everyone. It's no accident Hitler went after the disabled community first.

What’s striking is that this isn’t new—America has always operated this way. Systemic racism and bigotry have long harmed marginalized communities. Trump didn’t invent it; he just cranked the volume up to ten.

The entire system needs to be dismantled and rebuilt. White supremacists sense this reckoning, which is exactly why they’re targeting DEI efforts. They caught a glimpse of a more equitable future—and it terrified them.
