@ljevans.bsky.social: Is this the whackjobs who hit their kids and name their kids things like "Industry"?????

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

Is this the whackjobs who hit their kids and name their kids things like "Industry"?????

those are different eugenicists, but def a related milieu!

I pity their kids, who are going to hate them and flee the second they turn 18.

One can hope…

Seriously. That would be the best outcome.

A hopeful fantasy. Too many inevitably absorb their values and propagate them while insisting they “turned out fine”. Even if they reject parts of the ideology, large portions still become etched in stone inside them forever. They are children. That’s how it works.

The same applies to every family.

The 14 words have broad appeal

To Nazis, yes, but the rest of us? No.

It was sarcasm. There are a lot of groups out there who aren't specifically Nazis but who hold the same kind of beliefs about immigration and white supremacy. Hence the comment about "other eugenicist groups"
