Francis Galton’s ideas led to several hundred thousand forced sterilizations. Paul Ehrlich’s ideas - with his full support and consent - led to several million forced sterilizations. Our society can’t bring itself to care at all about coercive sterilizations at all when eugenics isn’t involved.

Is this still going on? Or did society bring itself to care

Maybe if they had cleaned up the gene pool more we wouldn't have all these troons running around acting like fools.

I mean, there's a reason why they are the group currently getting sterilized.
