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?
You know, its funny.

Time is a flat circle, we all know it.
Ah, the ironies of self aware mortality…
