Seems weird that they'd want to go after their voter base so publicly.
Who needs voters, when you do not have elections?
Their own voter base lacks the critical thinking or self reflection to understand every thing trump admin says they want is going to hurt the base more than then people they were rallied to hate.
Farmers and manufacturers having tariffs ruin their profits, immigrants being rounded up and deported regardless of their legal status, military veterans having their care gutted and govt jobs eliminated. And all these people say they still endorse him.
They can start in the Oval Office.
Bold emphasis is mine
But idea of offering** feral populations **financial incentives for voluntary sterilization is completely taboo.
Wow, just wow.
When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).
Sure... some new sneaks for never being able to procreate? Sounds legit (heavy /s obviously)
I have a suspicion where this is being aimed at:
It's not politically correct to say, but low-IQ, low-impulse control populations lack higher reasoning and moral faculties - they require strict corporal punishment and threat of violence to function properly within a society.
It's the people RFK is targeting - people with Autism, ADHD, other neurodivergent conditions, the physically and mentally disabled. Cull the ones who are already "diseased" and leave the healthier ones to live one and procreate. At least that's my suspicion here - basically they're pushing the discourse towards an acceptance of some form of eugenics. It's terrifying.
The point in the last quote - 'to function properly within a society' is really a veiled form of saying - 'you will work until you die in whatever way we see fit'.
There's a similar push in the UK to get disabled people into any job, seemingly regardless of suitability, workplace accommodations (despite there being legal requirements to make such things) - and the way this is being done is to effectively penalise them financially by sanctioning the disability allowances, refusing PIP (Personal Independence Payment) and forcing those with lifelong conditions to undergo a full review every year. This pretty much can starve out someone into finding a way to live that means the Government pays less and the quality of life the person has is drastically reduced owing to the various stressors inflicted on them. The whole thing is a shitshow and is being argued about a lot at the moment in our Government parties.
Can disabled people work? For sure, and many do. Can all disabled people work? No, but the Government is going to make damn sure that you at least try, and if you fail, then find another job cause we ain't supporting you now we know you can work regardless of how effective you are... From a Govt statement:
We’re determined to fix the broken benefits system as part of our Plan for Change by reforming the welfare system and delivering proper support to help people get into work and get on at work, so we can get Britain working and deliver our ambition of an 80% employment rate.
In other words, to "function properly within a society".
...did you read the same text i did?..that was f*cking code-speak for urban black populations...
One fucking month ago we, for the first time in human history, cured a genetic disease in a human at the DNA level, using gene editing techniques that fixed a 10-month-old's liver specifically without altering the rest of his body's DNA (thus preserving genetic diversity). Are we really going to start fucking genociding people while we stand at the very goddamn cusp of cleanly subduing genetic disorders?? And we're going to fucking revive measles and polio while we're at it?
IIRC, the Trump Regime defunded that research. The ghouls don't understand that looking after everyday people is the key to figuring out cures for rich fuckers.
Seriously, the wealthy don't understand that they achieved their great height from standing on the backs of ordinary folks. They will take quite a tumble when society falls apart, due to their stupidity and greed.
*checks notes* yes
So maga folks. Lol
Wait...why cull their voter base?
They don't need voters any more.
I have a feeling they're going to define anyone who has a college degree and leans anywhere to the left of conservative extremism "low IQ trash".
Yep, the Nazis defined socialists as degenerates, so I expect any sign of empathy to be seen as a sign of low IQ.
So they're clearing out the current administration?
Wait, wait, wait. I thought they were just bitching that we don’t have enough people, now they want mass sterilization? Can they make up their minds?
Read "low IQ" as non-white. That's what they want to remove.
Yeah, I feel like people are missing the part where he literally said "Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.)"
He is very clearly talking about a certain demographic, but because he didn't explicitly say it, he can still deny it. But we all know exactly what he meant.
That's going to cost them votes in the long run, if their base can't reproduce.
Just a quick reminder that the US Supreme Court affirmed the federal government's right to sterilize citizens in Buck v. Bell and it's never been walked back.
So that's cool.
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.
The irony. I bet most MAGA have sub-median IQ.
Not all conservatives are stupid, they're too easy a pool to grift from but overwhelming, stupid people are conservative.
"I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. - John Stuart Mill
So they gonna set up radiation booths at rallies?
American eugenicists tended to believe in the genetic superiority of Nordic, Germanic, and Anglo-Saxon peoples, supported strict immigration and anti-miscegenation laws, and supported the forcible sterilization of the poor, disabled and "immoral."[13]

So just standard Republican Nazi shit.
Right on schedule. These guys are following a playbook...step by step https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-biological-state-nazi-racial-hygiene-1933-1939
“When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”
Holy shit. What a piece of shit.
The US is a fascist state. They are enacting Nazi policies such as:

RFKs autism list will lead to life unworthy of life.
You will literally purge Trump voters first. Statistically republicans have lower IQs. Fuckin Mein Kamf reading idiots.
Eugenics..
Don’t be suprised if they add gas chambers to RFK’s wellness farms.
Hello to my Americans friends, and an outsider looking in, we have a very famous saying about the situation you're currently in. It roughly translates to, "holy fucking shit, you guys are totally fucked". Honestly I'm baffled by the seeming lack of tangible response from the general public, I understand 30 odd % voted for this and another 30 or so couldn't be bothered. But the rest of you should be shutting down everything, how are you just holding these weekend protests and hoping for change. Cripple the bloody country! The longer you wait the worse it gets.
Sincerly someone who knows what Dictatorships are.
Well. Yeah. Because he's a Nazi. Nazis have Nazi opinions. But his version of "low-iq trash" isn't people with "low-iq" it's people that impede the image of the in-group.
Otherwise the majority of conservatives would be sterilized.
Shouldn't he be former? I thought they axed him after he went to a white nationalist rally?
Yep, again just following Hitlers Playbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_sterilization#Germany
That was one of the first laws that the Nazis enacted...
The fact that there are Nazis in the US government, and that that fact is met with an attitude of "Oh well!" instead of torches and pitchforks is what makes modern USA sickening.
