minus-squareF_HaxhausenlinkEnglish7•10 months agoNo it is not. Eugenics is an attempt to improve the genetic quality of a human population. We are talking about an attempt to stop climate change. We are not trying to “improve” the genetics of human population.

minus-squareF_HaxhausenlinkEnglish6•10 months agoNo it is not. Eugenics is a pseudo-science about improvement of genetics. Period. Trying to avoid climate catastrophe is not about improving genetics.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•10 months ago Eugenics is a pseudo-science about improvement of genetics. Period no, it’s not, even the wikipedia article we both love disputes this claim plainly.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-3•10 months agothat’s a narrow definition that doesn’t really encompass all the ways in which eugenics has been practiced. frequently, as i have done here, it is used synonymously with genocide. stop practicing genocide.
minus-squareF_HaxhausenlinkEnglish4•10 months agoNo. Genocide is murdering people. Genocide is violence against people. Forcing people, against their will to stop existing. Asking people to reproduce less is asking people (not forcing them) to exercise their own will.
