That wasn't clear from their comment. The link for Idiocracy didn't help that since that movie focuses on eugenics.

For education, sure, but while the data shows more educated voters voted for Harris, it isn't nearly as big of a gap as it should be. Slightly over 2/5ths of college educated voters voted for Trump, likewise slightly over 2/5ths of uneducated voters voted for Harris. The media likes to hype that divide along with all the others, but that's a shit ton of people on both sides.

This is eugenics propaganda. It is slightly hidden in a way of not using the blatant language of "superiority" and forcing it on people, but the base idea boils down to breeding traits such as higher intelligence into (or out of in this case) people like what is done (was attempted) with animals. This is eugenics. Please do not spread eugenics.

Eugenics does not work. There's a lot of information on the topic, but here's a 10-minute primer: https://youtu.be/kMBriCmiTu0

TL;DW Studies show genetics plays a very minor role in intelligence in humans with socioeconomic factors being the main driver. Eugenics may be able to breed certain traits in/out, but that results in the extreme detriment of others. Consider dog breeding and all the health issues breeds have who were bred for a handful of specific tasks/traits.

Wow, small world. I'm in Terre Haute a couple times a year for business and will be out there again in a few weeks. I'm amazed it's a problem there too.

This is the hallway you run down while getting shot at and somehow dodging all the bullets

Magnus Protocol which seems like AU Magnus Archives just started too, so now is a great time to get into it!

Staying away from the big platforms has worked out well for me. Those are well under the control of corporate interests like TV, but I now have access to several independent journalists from across the world, the ability to fact check a topic within minutes to hours instead of days to never, and a much easier way of organizing with like minded people.

The internet is a tool. It's more full of misinformation, disinformation, useless garbage, and scams now than it was, but it's still useful if you know how to sift through it. We should be educating our youth on how to do that and identifying the list of pitfalls above to help make it even better.

I thought this couldn't possibly be right, and it isn't quite, but the numbers are way closer than I realized.

Canada only has around 37 million people. I always thought there were far more just because of how big Canada is. Guess I've been a standard uneducated American. US population is around 333 million. Latest estimate I can find is 7.2% queer which is roughly 24 million people.

Not all of those will need to flee, and those who do may not be financially able to flee. Others won't want to for the reasons most people don't want to leave their home. Many straight passing people will be "fine". Most trans people will want to for medical care at least, and most I know (myself included) are currently migrating to more progressive states if not to Canada yet. Trans numbers in the US are hard to nail down, but highest estimate is 1% which is only 3 million.

I want them all to be Cardassian's instead. Playing 5d chess and employing all sorts of phsycological warfare till most of them think they've always been vulcans and have a family back home waiting on them.
