This isn't a complete thought and not my usual type of post PLUS involves probably lots of overthinking however I think there's something here
Consider these two types of ideas commonly expressed predominantly by the left leaning/more progressive claiming crowd:
1) eugenics is bad and things based on eugenics are therefore also bad
2) if all these magas/trad wives/crazy evangelicals/people I look down on for having southern US accents/etc keep breeding and none of the smart people breed it's literally going to be Idiocracy out here!!!!1!!1!!1111!!!
Like I know most people say 2 as a joke but the joke is also predicated on the beliefs that intelligence is hereditary and no one ever breaks out of conservative upbringings, both of which we know are 100% untrue AND if you believe that intelligence is hereditary and are therefore unhappy that "stupid" people are breeding,,,,,,,,,,,, that is brought to you by eugenics based thought patterns my dudes
