Eugenicism, also called Galtonianism, is a political ideology which seeks to shape public policy in accordance with the field of eugenics. Eugenics is a now discredited field of science (pseudoscience) which claims to be the 'study of good genes'. Eugenics takes influence from the Darwinian theory of evolution, which states that organisms develop to better suit a given environment through the gradual dying of organisms that are unsuited to the environment before they can reproduce and applies them to Humans; this is done by selecting traits which are 'desirable' and artificially adjusting the environment to either maximize the reproduction of those with those traits (positive eugenics) or minimizing the reproduction of those with undesirable traits (negative eugenics).

History

Proto-Eugenics

Early forms of Eugenics were practiced for millennia, with some cultures (such as Athens, Sparta, Indigenous Peoples of Brazil and Rome) letting children who were considered to be defect be killed (infanticide). The philosopher Plato advocated for the state to control the reproduction of human beings.[2][3]

19th and early 20th Century

The term 'Eugenics' and 'Dysgenics' were coined by the English polymath Sir Francis Galton in the 1860's after reading Charles Darwin's On The Origin of Species.[1]

Nazi Eugenics

Nazi eugenics refers to the social policies of eugenics in Nazi Germany. The racial ideology of Nazism placed the biological improvement of the German people by selective breeding of "Nordic" or "Aryan" traits at its center.

Those targeted for destruction under Nazi eugenics policies were largely people living in private and state-operated institutions. They included prisoners, degenerates, dissidents, and people with congenital cognitive and physical disabilities- people who were considered to be feeble-minded:

  • Epileptic
  • Schizophrenic
  • Manic-depressive (now known as bipolar)
  • Cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy
  • Deaf and/or blind
  • Homosexual or "transvestites" (intersex and transgender people)
  • Anyone else considered to be idle, insane, and/or weak as per "feeblemindedness"

All of these were targeted for elimination from the chain of heredity.

Discrediting

Early criticism of eugenics came from the American sociologist Lester Frank Ward,[5] the English writer G.K. Chesterton,[6] German-American anthropologist Franz Boas,[7] and the Scottish physician Halliday Sutherland.[8] In 1930 was officially condemned by Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Casti Connubii[9]

Nonetheless, major action against eugenics was mainly taken only after the Second World War.

Contemporary Eugenics

With the development of technologies which allow for more effective forms of genetic engineering the interest in the revival of eugenics has picked up steam in certain circles, including some transhumanist circles. Eugenics was defended by the New Zealand professor of ethics Nicholas Agar in the form of what he called 'liberal eugenics' in his book of the same title.[10] Liberal eugenics (also called New Eugenics) unlike historical eugenics seeks to involve parents themselves in the process of eugenics, seeking to respect the parent's right to choose what genetic features they deem desirable for their children and to ignore the advice of eugenicists.[11]

Relationships

Friends

Frenemies

  • Feminism - A lot of your early proponents supported me, claiming that giving women more rights would lead to a better race, and we have a mutual love of Margaret Sanger, but why do you want equality and hate it when your opponents tie you to me?
  • Scientocracy - We used to be friends, but we've had a falling out of sorts.
  • Social Darwinism - You took this all way too far.
  • Transhumanism - Why would you want to enhance people with bad genes?
  • Nazism, Showa Statism & Ittihadism - My ideas in practice. But all of you lost, so now you're considered inferior. Also, all of you tarnished my reputation.
  • Racial Nationalism - My fanboy who doesn't understand me, like, at all. Seriously, "pure race" isn't a "better race"!
  • Esoteric Fascism - Same as above, but even more extreme.
  • Neoluddism - You... don't do abortion, but I'm pretty sure technology, medicine, Red 40, and fluoride, (all side effects of the Industrial Revolution), do cause disabilities.
  • Ethnopluralism - International segregation is great, but why won't you agree on sterilization? And race my ass.
  • Post-Humanism - You are a machine without any biological genes and designed artificially. But on other hand, you are perfection (especially if you evolve into ASI).
  • Nordic Model - We used to be friends until you stabbed me in the back.

Retards

  • Kakistocracy - Just keep thinking about the rabbits.
  • Christian Theocracy - Was my greatest rival in the West.
  • Catholic Theocracy - Sterilization and abortion is good actually.
  • Buddhist Theocracy - Same as above.

  • Conservatism - "abORtiOn iZ muRDEr!" Yes, and?
  • Progressive Conservatism - What an abomination.
  • Posadism - While a global nuclear war will kill off a lot of the weak, it will kill a lot of the strong too!

Among whom we must mention in the first place infants hidden in the mother's womb. And if the public magistrates not only do not defend them, but by their laws and ordinances betray them to death at the hands of doctors or of others, let them remember that God is the Judge and Avenger of innocent blood which cried from earth to Heaven.
