Leftpol recent predilection for technofascism vis a vis Eugenics

For what it's worth I don't think there's anything special about the human genome or anything that would make genetic engineering or selective breeding necessarily bad. My critique with eugenics is that the ideology can't function without the assumption of a hated underclass that is to be controlled. Negative eugenics is the only kind of eugenics that really matters, even "positive eugenics" only functions on the assumption that the lower orders are to be lorded over and controlled for their menacing habit of… being smelly and dumb, or something. Eugenicists are the biggest fucking cowards imaginable, and it's no surprise with the proliferation of eugenics that the mainstream pissant is such a pathetic figure they need to tell others how they're supposed to feel and cry and moan any time some despised minority rises up and has the power to tell them to fuck up. It's disgusting and it's the strongest proof you can find that eugenics is a retarded ideology.

Good post. Yeah, the problem with tech is the problem of competition: if you don't grab and come up with advantages, some other asshole will. Although I doubt eugenics as a technology can ever make us compete with ai tbh. Doesn't matter if we're gonna be superhumans or not, we'll still be outclassed.
