RFK's idea that disease is good, actually, is not just eugenicist - it's literally on the extreme bad edge of eugenics. Many original eugenicists understood that preventable disease killed "fit" and "unfit" alike. They wanted to prevent disease and practice public health. /1
RFK Jr. is a giant, world class idiot. All you need to know.
Ok sorry I wasted your time
I'm sorry if I offended. That slam was purely intended for RFK. Jr.
Kennedy also never seems to grasp that - as was the case with the Spanish Flu - it was the body’s own immune response that made it so deadly and killed so many otherwise healthy people.
The republicans denial of evolution doesn’t seem to dampen their belief in eugenics - nor the belief that they are a superior race - and one that can be diluted with “foreign blood”.
Neo-Darwinism.
He also doesn’t understand the concept of “fit”. In a country of coming pandemics, those with an understanding of science and medicine are the best fit for that environment. He thinks doing push ups will save him
his family elders who are now dead did in fact support eugenics...as many elites at the time did including both Bush I and Bush II
I read a bio on Josef Mengale. Very interesting how he went from science to eugenics and "Nazi science" over time.
RFKJR believes in survival of the fittest. He doesn’t care who dies.
He wants to experiment on us
Experiment? No, he already has his answer. CATTLE CULL EXTERMINATE THE BRUTES
Certain religions believe suffering is good for the soul

RFK JR has a plan, just not a good one. He figures he will "kill them all off and let God sort it out. That way there will be a lot less "inferior" people in our country.
I HAVE SURPERIOR JEANS I WORK OUT IN THEM TOO FREE RIDE IS OVER PROLES
Bobby's beliefs are pretty much antithetical to the very notion of public health.
This is why I don’t think RFK is explained by eugenics only. You cannot discount that he also fully supports the pro-natalist, pro-life, antichoice, far right Christian conservative agenda. But maybe, to your point, forced birth is what makes him a “bad” eugenicist?
I think maybe we can just sum it all up as "Unmitigated crackpot*
I wish I could, but unfortunately, it matters. They do have an agenda, they’re following through on specific plans. They’re following project 2025. All of this is partly our fault for not stopping it when we could. We need to identify what’s happening - not just chalk it up to “crackpot”
See I agree... partially. I think much like Trump, RFKjr is YGWYS. They're sincere in their stupidity. It's the people whispering to them from the sidelines that are the problem, and they're a bit more of a whack-a-mole issue.
Yeah, I totally get it. I don’t try to *understand* RFK lol. I think he’s a lunatic, and probably literally out of his mind most of the day 😆 I just don’t want ppl to miss that he’s doing damage in other ways, ways that can’t be explained by eugenics (sounds so gross, but I hope that makes sense)
Word.
More progressive eugenicists - sorry! - thought benevolent, modern public health should include dissuading or preventing inferior people from reproducing. Not that they should be allowed to die. /2
That's because they realized resistance to, e.g., tuberculosis wasn't necessarily correlated with other genetic advantages. So letting babies die of flu or whatever didn't necessarily improve the race/species. Basically they wanted to weed people out more rationally. /3
All bad, of course, but amazingly we have reached the point where we are ranking the eugenicists who run the government. And RFK's views - on this scale! - are very bad. Here's a review article on this: ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2... /4
So we are going back in time to the early 1900s.
Eugenicists-That's my favorite Chapter in the Bible! RFK Jr. is such a good Christian!
Yes Dr Squires in 1893 said that letting tuberculosis run riot is the stupidest eugenics idea! Unless you want 1/3 of population chronically sick with TB (estimated in England 1835). The more I read, though, the more I sense eugenicists DROOLING at the idea of overseeing an orgy of human suffering.
Maybe they think all the suffering and death will give them UNLIMITED POWER! Sent straight to their katra through BALL TANNING MACHINES!
It's ''Survival of the Fittest."
It's sadistic sociopathy.
Daniel Okrent’s amazing book about the history of eugenics is called “The Guarded Gate” and I highly recommend it. Eugenicists were professors and high members of society who promoted this as an actual science replete with state fair promotions and eye color charts. #wokebookclub
Let's go with RFK jr is a bat shit crazy heroin addict with brain worm nibblins. Full stop. Nothing more serious should ever be written about or attributed to him.
And ironically the Real Fucking Kook Jr. is a symptom of the conspiratorial delusional science denying disease that infects the White House.
Both sides good doesn’t float with me. Darre and Bergson legitimised the slaughter of millions and facilitated it through their eugenics theories.
RFK Jr is a quack! A method of improving the human race, eugenics was increasingly discredited as unscientific & racially biased especially after the adoption of its doctrines by the Nazis in order to justify their treatment of Jews, disabled people, & other minority groups.
Point here is, even among eugenecists he's a quack bc he appears to believe his "superior genes" will keep him safe from any disease, despite whatever the hell happened to his voice and his skin.
It baffles me, the man injected garbage in his body, but vaccines are bad🤪
