You know, its funny.
In many ways, we in the US are just doing the 1910's, 20's, 30's, all over again.
A big thing back then is what we now call scientific racism, eugenics.
Generally speaking, it was a bunch of unfounded psuedo science that purportrd to stem from Darwin's theories, but... didn't really actually have any sensible data or theory backing it up.
... the difference is that this time, eugenics part two electric boogaloo... its largely, not entirely, but to a great extent being used by ignorant bigots to hurt themselves, instead of other kinds of people.
So... would the meta of this be that eugenics and psuedo science and anti-intellectualism actually are a functional, definable evolutionary or maybe social mechanism, it just... basically works in the opposite way that morons think it does?
Time is a flat circle, we all know it.
Ah, the ironies of self aware mortality...
