    Eugenics is still wildly popular, they just don’t call it that. A short list of modern things founded in Eugenics.

      If we followed eugenics, we never would have elected Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho as president

      Don’t forget psychology. Turns out a lot of its like 90% of it is founded on a mix of religious dogma and eugenics. Remember that infamous Canadia Nazi Jordan Peterson who nearly killed himself with a paleo diet and then went on a ketamine bender in Russia? Psychologist.

          Except JP is actually a reputable psychologist. He’s only disgraced on the internet because of his overly fascist radicalizing side gig. In the real world he’s seen as little more than a highly educated professional. Which is exactly the point i’m trying to make, his nazi pseudoscience isn’t a dealbreaker for the job and that’s pretty revealing to the field as a whole.
