Yeah that's eugenics guy, dictating who can and cannot reproduce based on potential genetic factors passed their offspring.

The guy who built the Guidestones was very likely a KKK fan. Doesn't deserve much benefit of the doubt.

So it's eugenics to say that incest is bad?

[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most incest involves rape. Prohibitions are sensible.

Bans on breeding based on a belief of genetic inferiority of potential offspring is eugenics. Don't do that.

2 week old post, dude.

Til demonstrable facts are merely "beliefs" now. I don't care how old the post is, your idiocy is timeless.
