It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It never left
I mean, yeah. Fuck natural selection. Shit sucks
It's never left sadly.
Eugenics has a point, actually. Because if all the eugenicists stopped breeding it would definitely be better for the human race.
Doubtful. Most of these losers aren't getting none and, if anything, it's making their opinions worse.
Putting this guy in the woods with a box of matches, a knife, and a go-pro. Leaning back in my chair and watching.
It's not like this whole society we live in wasn't originated from some monkies learning to take care of another monkey who broke their leg long enough that the bones fused back together
The problem is it not obvious why this is factually wrong.
It IS obvious why it's morally wrong.
The clarity comes when you actually understand science and realize that we're correcting our genes faster than mutation could ever hope to.
It's sad that nuance is lost.
If you want, I do have three logic-based reasons against eugenics:
-
Eugenics means assigning human values to nature, and therefore our human emotions will determine what our kids might have.
-
Eugenics is just hyper-domestication. They claim that modern medicine is evil, but eugenics will just domesticate us further and will really bite us in the ass if civilization collapses (CHUDs drool of the day civilization collapses and they can act out their LARP.)
-
How do we know this won't set a precedent for using eugenics to create an inherit slave class as "the help" and who will get to decide who is and isn't a slave?
