The march to Nazism takes another step

    I hate this guy as much as anyone, but you’re really rounding what he’s saying down. He is calling for “voluntary” mass sterilization via incentivization. It’s not responsible to misquote racist trash like him when what he’s saying is already so villainously evil.

      He’s not talking about giving everyone an IQ test. He’s talking about black people… That’s why he suggests incentives to participate being Air Jordans. Hes making racial stereotypes and insinuating that it’s easy to tell which people are “low-IQ”.

    The irony. I bet most MAGA have sub-median IQ. But apart from that:

    That stance of mass-sterilization is quite a hefty turnaround from “people should have more children”, which we heard just a few months ago.

    I don’t want to be a doomer, but the economic prospects are bad. Lots of people already struggle to make end’s meet, and if the mass layoffs of white collar workers due to AI are real, it will be even worse. Notice that it doesn’t matter whether you think that AI can replace people, it only matters whether companies think that AI can replace people. Now, having children costs a lot of money, at least $100K, depending on where you live, and i understand people being reluctant about having children.

    I also think that it’s politician’s job to improve the living conditions of the people, and GOP might actually for once be doing its job if it starts educating people about the socio-economic implications of having kids.

    I also advocate for UBI (universal basic income), but the way i see it today, there’s a high likelyhood that it will come, but will be too little to actually cover cost-of-living costs. I.e., it might be a “support”, providing $400/month no-strings-attached and it would definitely improve the living conditions of many people, especially in low-income households. But it would still not solve all problems.

    Eugenic at its finest. Galton would be proud of them.

    Cool so there isn’t a population shortage then? Abortion should be allowed legally nationally then?
