      that the eugenics was mainstream doesn’t make it not eugenics tho, or mean that it wasn’t bad then too

        No, but Singer does mean stuff like “supply birth control to people who don’t have birth control” and “make them rich and educated so they have fewer kids” which eugenics or not is a real policy response by governments which had to deal with famine pursued

          singer’s a fucking eugenicist though (as any disabled person would tell you).

              i mostly keep noting that he’s not a serious person and should not be treated as such.
