There's a lot of people that often get thrown into the "eugenics" crowd; but they're actually advocating for no one to have kids at all. It's not about selective genetics; it's about less people overall.

I've been thrown into that group when I tried explaining that Idiocracy wasn't about genetics.

Malthusianism and eugenics are inseparable, not to mention both have been completely debunked, over and over and over again. Yet it persists as not just a cultural relic like phrenology but as a mode of inquiry that gets funded, researched, promoted. Even you take it seriously, "its not about killing certain people, its about killing everyone equally."

Its almost like there is a group or maybe a class of people who do the funding and own the media companies, who like this idea and want to keep it around despite it being based on lies and conjecture. And if that is true, the question becomes "why?"
