So I definitely don't think a joke leads to all of this, but I do understand the concept of slippery slope to eugenics. The thing is though, it's the "woke left" that would be most likely to support a eugenics movement. They HATE families and they resent people for having children.

Most likely? They already do. Certain public figures are talking about transhumanism as if it’s the hip new future instead of a looming eugenic dystopia a la Gattaca.

LOL, exactly. A Netflix series just came out called "the future of" or something like that. Each episode excitedly describes technology and AI that will come out in the future that sounds genuinely terrifying.
