I think sometimes people think eugenics is bad but its still true, like thinking that if people with certain traits have children it will change society for better or worse based upon what traits are promoted. I think its important to emphasize that eugenics is not only wrong morally it's also fake and stupid bullshit

Like eugenics was supposed to be based on the idea that "If it works with animals to select only the best ones to breed, why wouldn't it work with humans?"

well it doesn't work with animals, that's the thing. applying the eugenics ideas to domestic breeds of animals hasn't made better animals it's just made animals with more extreme expression of certain traits. turns out that when you decide which traits are the "best" and become obsessed with the genetic purity of the animals that have the "best" traits, you might well end up with some sad suffering creature like a Pug, or the Persian cats with the smashed faces that are in constant pain because their teeth and airways and brains are getting crushed by their skulls, or those meat chickens that grow so fast they can hardly even stand up after a few weeks old, or inbred race horses with tiny feet and fragile toothpick legs

like almost all traits are neither "good" or "bad" they're way more complex than that. a long tail or a long snout or a stubborn, independent personality can be good or bad depending on the situation. Who gets to decide what is a "good" trait or a "bad" trait? It's arbitrary and selecting for traits that are "good" in your opinion will often have both "good" and "bad" outcomes because the "good" and "bad" are part of each other and not separate its just part of being alive

Obviously oversimplifying everything but you get it. we did eugenics with dogs and how did that go? not very well

to the people who will say like, racism doesnt affect white people or like whathever and that it only affects the group it's directed to, you are very WRONG. i have 2 highly specific examples which are first hand experience.

for context im short, tan, brown hair and eyes.im white.

every single time since i was maybe 12 and i was at an airport security check i got pulled aside and had my luggage tested for drugs.always negative duh, but it happened every.single.time.and i travelled by plane plenty.i also discussed this with other fellow white people with dark hair and dark eyes.pretty much the same experience, even when ur not tan.and i could only help but wonder what if something was wrong somehow what would happen to me then ?

the people with blue eyes ?the blond haired ones ?they looked at me like i was insane like "what do you mean you get pulled aside ???can they even do that ?".

so like idk i guess if you are at any airport ever and you look even remotely like you're from a country known for drug dealing you'll get wry looks.

now for the other one

i was in the park with my friend.her mom came to see her i dont rememember why.anyways.afterwards her mom texted asking what i can translate to "who was that colored guy?".well, she didn't mean it as in black, but as in rroma but you get the point.she wasnt pleased that her daughter was hanging out with me.but here s the catch.her mom knows me from pictures.so once i looked too dark, i was a bad friend option for her daughter.

which gets us to the bonus story:

every.time.i take a goddamn picture with my phone.or like any phone.it "whitewashes" me.like it literally makes my skin idk how many shades lighter.i look like shit in pictures bc my phone does that and i cant disable it from anywhere.like my phone won't let me look like me and i look kinda fucked in most pictures, like super sickly because it also does a shit job at making me look "whiter".

anyways.thanks for coming to my ted talk

ok so i was sick for a month and it s still hard to eat(i had a mushroom in my throat dont even ask how) and i could only eat liquids.and only very specific liquids.so like i lost one kilo a week.if that s useful for anyone, eating soup will help you lose weight.also it was terrible so dont even try it.if you try it and then someday get sick you ll get angry that you wouldnt eat when you were able to.and idk if ur already skinny there s no point doing shit like this bc i feel like a skeleton now.
