    Never forget that this is what all powerful people under capitalism think. They have no concept of humanity and they don’t have the empathy drive that keeps a social species going. They are broken, nihilistic cretins that will drive humanity to extinction with their petty pursuit of status and power. They have the same backwards mindset as a 19th century eugenics believer.

    This is why the attempt of some libs to change the minds of the powerful by raising awareness and appealing to their conscience is laughable, because they don’t have those things.

      Remember that literally almost everyone believed in eugenics back then. The whole concept of race itself is wrapped up in that pseudoscience. Every early medical school in the USA made it’s core function the advancement of race “science”. It’s not just the rich, it’s not just the 19th century. It’s still dominant today as seen by the amount of serious reporting of social phenomena along race lines as though race is a trait of the people in society.
