Darren Beattie previously served as a speechwriter for Trump, but he was fired in 2018 after he spoke at a conference attended by white nationalists

    We’re going straight to eugenics in under a month? Jesus fuck.

    ETA: Also, you chucklefucks, I already got fixed years ago because of the horrific state of affairs in the world. I find it morally reprehensible to bring children into this world given what we know about climate change alone. Political shifts are just icing.

      First you need the baseball bat phase … where they beat each other over the head to produce enough bumps so that the phrenologists can analyze them.

        No, altering the personality by adding bumps is retrophrenology.

    I wonder how far they would walk that comment back when they learn how common high intelligence is among people who are neurodivergent.

    The real reason they said high IQ probably lies in the fact that it’s an incredibly biased test, with Black and Hispanic students performing worse compared to White and Asian students

      And technically having an IQ that’s 2 or more standard deviations outside the norm makes you neurodivergent, by some definitions of the word. That means everyone who can get into Mensa can be considered neurodivergent by definition.

        Heh, that’s a good take on Mensa. IQ tests at the higher difficulty questions, add some aspect of “lateral thinking” to spot a pattern, which is another way of saying “thinking out of the box”, or a type of neurodivergence.

    They’re just so eager to pull their masks off, like. Like, there is only so much algorithm manipulation can do to obscure observable reality from their audience.

    "Abstract - The first negative eugenic measure passed by the Hitler regime in July 1933 was the forced sterilization law, which primarily targeted neuropsychiatric patients with “feeble mindedness,” schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Also included were Huntington’s chorea, bipolar disorder, and alcoholism, along with other congenital defects.” - https://academic.oup.com/book/40410/chapter-abstract/347295636

          Didn’t say that I did. But most folks with it know how awful and don’t wish it on their children. Tell me, how many folks have you worked with who have/had HD?

          I’m not speaking out my arse here.

          Let me be clear, I think that the including of HD in this list is to muddy the waters. This is not a genuine concern.

          This is about control and eugenics.

        Yeah, I paused on that one. It shouldn’t be forced, but it should be encouraged. No loving parent would want to give that to a child and the odds are just so high.

    But then who’ll vote them back in based on vague promises to fix the price of eggs and absolutely no track record of helping ordinary people?

    Unless…

    Not surprised, but didn’t expect to see this quite this early into the Trump regime.
