Another area where the right is clearly using eugenic ideology is MAHA. They demonize autism because it is not “normal” and everything from vaccines and Tylenol supposedly causes it. All medicine should be “natural” because the idea behind it is that if you are not strong enough to survive on your own, then you weren’t good enough anyway and deserve to die.
I don't want to be misunderstood here, but you're doing God's work with these. Work so necessary and so important. My next essay: Nazis learnt from Americans half of their Holocaust tricks.
I can’t wait to read it. Might be worth looking into Houston Stewart Chamberlain and his book The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century which was highly influential in German military and school curriculum.
Nazism was built on generations of education and public policy.
Absolutely and that's why they did everything legally. First you wrote laws defining it was suuuper encouraged and legal to go onto Polish land, it's not Polish anymore, THEN you put people in cars and let the modern invention of the fume exhaust redirected into the inside of the car do its job. That's how the gas chambers were conceptualized first. Second, they realized it's not lethal enough. So they build buildings and exhaust was coming from the floor. No good - dead people covered it with their own bodies, not everyone died. So next, it was put in the ceiling. People don't realize the route it took to arrive to Aushwitz being able to process at max capacity 40 000 people a day. But this was also done by squishing people in like sardines and then throwing toddlers and babies right on top of the human mass. The most famous of 200 concentration camps functioning on Polish territory. And Riese. The incredible, still standing in Owl Mountains Riese.
I am Polish.
We do not cover that history from the angle of the USA. That's why I didn't know.
Thank you for the recommendation but it will be nowhere this depth as your amazing work, just outline of facts. <3
"I had to explain to that dear confused reader that the issue is not simply making more babies.
It is making the right kind of babies."
Yup. Exactly this.
It's also why they are obsessed with 'great replacement' stuff. When a lot of baby-making is coming from the wrong kind of people, it fills them with dread. Ugh.
And reproductive autonomy is vital to women who have and want to use their minds whether or not they also want to use the uterus they have. Too many women of my mother’s generation and mine had their dreams for themselves thwarted by prejudice imposed from outside and diminished expectations imposed by their training into a system they never chose.
‘Sometimes it arrives as a politician insisting that “we” need more babies while supporting policies that make pregnancy more dangerous for poor women and women of color.’
Yes. Exactly. Not contradictory policies. Policies aimed directly at race ‘purity’.
You have to wonder how anyone today can still believe that inbreeding is the way to go.
On one tangent, I didn't know about Carrie Buck's story, and it's so horrible. The systems utterly failed her in several ways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Buck Thank you for spreading the word.

Absolutely, I think that’s definitely a part of the whole nasty creation.

I think I've said this before... As Randy Rhodes says: Love the fetus; hate the child.
