War on the Weak: Eugenics in America

This documentary depicts the U.S. Eugenic legislation throughout the early 20th Century and chronicles the compulsory sterilization faced by many Americans. "War on the Weak" continues to analyze negative eugenics by discussing the U.S. Supreme Court case of Buck v. Bell. Furthermore, the parallels present among U.S. and Nazi ideologies on the nature of eugenics are presented, along with an exposition on the affinity Nazi scientists had for U.S. eugenics laws. The documentary concludes with a look at modern genetic research and leaves the viewer with the hopeful message of a society free of ailments but warns of the dangers on science that is not kept in check with the moral values of humanity.

If Eugenics ever becomes successful policy, I am convinced that power will shoot itself in the foot, because power will ultimately seek to breed out creativity and individuality, the very traits necessary for technological and cultural progression. The control freaks will ultimately favor submission and dependency over intelligence , because the two are at odds with each other. You can't have both.

Less people, better people. I don't understand why eugenics isn't back in full swing in this modern world.

Dude, this WAS policy in the USA for the first half of the 20th century!! Check out the Racial Integrity Act of 1924. Much of what your government did was copied by the Nazis. That's a fact

They just haven't given it the forethought, but when they finally have to live with the reality of not having anyone to fix their Role's Royce's and private jets (because the greater populace is just barely functional enough to pull plows in fields), I'm sure there'll be some serious regret.

You say that like they give a fuck about technological and cultural progression. Let me tell you something about the sociopaths making these decisions: The only motivation is power. That's it. If they have full power they are satisfied.

I remember a black woman once asked me to give her a lighter skin child because she hated to have a darker skin child by her black husband. I didn't do that for her because it's crazy to make babies irresponsibly.

But was that black woman racist? Yes. Did she preferred white race over black race? Yes. Was her goal a eugenic method to improve her future generations? Yes. But if she was white, everybody would hate her, but it's okay for a black woman to do the same thing. Why the double standard?
