Culling people is bad, breeding better people is good.
The eugenics started by Darwin’s cousin Galton, and popularised by most US States from the 1920’s, had an unforeseen consequence: bad publicity from Hitler’s adoption of it. Today only the rich and the immoral use eugenics quietly. Louder users are America, China, A-listers and those who would have their group survive.
Other adopters are Mugabe, the Hutu, and the historical Moari and Aztec. For these genocide was and is a landwide trashcan for freeing up space. The WW1 generals were merely following a well trodden path, which nature continued with flu and hiv. And will with something like bird flu, immune system decay, or an international panic attack. Perhaps the centotaph of capitalism will be inscribed ‘I created brighter lemmings than nature.’
