OMG: eugenics makes a come-back.

I’m much amused to see eugenics is making a come-back. That’s not because I necessarily support it: the pros and cons are actually a bit complicated. Reason for the amusement is that eugenics invariably sparks off a display of contrived righteous indignation among lefties, including stamping of feet, foaming at the mouth, appeals to the almighty and so on.

The display is as predictable as is the saliva coming from the mouth of a Pavlov dog.

And what adds to the amusement, is that eugenics was widely accepted in left of centre circles in the 1930s and early 1950s as pointed out here. That just confirms my above theory that a significant proportion of the political left are zombies or robots. That is, they can be programmed to accept eugenics (or indeed anything else); but if the “programmers” (i.e. the so called “opinion formers”) decide to change tack, then about 90% of lefties will change tack in sympathy.

However, I don’t want to suggest that zombie type behaviour is confined exclusively to the political left. Hitler managed to programme Germans, on the political left and right, into thinking that invading Poland, rounding up Jews and putting them in gas chambers would be a great idea. And citizens of every other country as doubtless just as gullible as Germans.
