      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.

    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?

      They want to do a Nazi. Basically, find something they can encapsulate as a minority, remove them, and then move in on their assets to sate their loyalist’s hunger. It’s the alternative when these sort of people don’t have a Palestine they can ransack. I can only imagine the amount of corruption between the immigrants being deported and the ICE agents peddling over everything they were forced to leave behind, it probably makes civil forfeiture abuses seem like peanuts now.

        Wasn’t Harvard and such mixed up in it as well? Phrenology and race. If people knew history, we wouldn’t be staring down the barrel of the current nightmare.

      Yeah, they don’t want this to happen. It would kill off their base. I guess it wouldn’t matter once they’re in a permanent officialdom, but if you’re trying to run a democracy, that ain’t working.

      These people never mean what they say. And by that I don’t mean the “sterilisation” part, I mean the “low iq” part.

      You’re correct, if they had any authenticity. However this is a dog c whistle to man “people we don’t like”. Basically non white right wingers

    Wait a minute… deep in there he suggested incentivizing smart people to have babies. Like a handout? Susidized childcare, free healthcare for kids? He must be a socialist. Lol.

      Also, improving sex education and access to contraceptives would almost certainly reduce the number of poor Black (which I’m about 100.2% certain is what he means by “low IQ”) children being born, but I doubt he’s in favour of that either…

        That always did strike me odd that they are against such things. But I guess the greedy ones who want more poor people to exploit win out over the eugenics people onthat one.

      It’s probably more like Robin Hood: take from the brown, give to the white.

    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”.
