Lots of people promote eugenics until you point out that they're promoting eugenics.
Thanks for providing an example of an opposite.
how is that an opposite?
an opposite would be something everybody thinks is a bad idea until you name it
unless you're saying people disagree with the concepts and goals of eugenics until you say "but that's just eugenics" at which point they're fully on board?
Most people think that Eugenics are a bad idea even if you don't name it, which is the opposite of people actually agreeing with the ideas behind Marxism without knowing its Marxism.
but that's not what the comment said?
people sometimes end up accidentally talking themselves into eugenics and promoting eugenics before somebody points out that they're talking about eugenics
Do they? Pretty sure lots of people would reject an idea like "maybe we should just kill disabled people" whatever you call it.
