The Progressive Ideas That Fueled America’s Eugenics Movement
PatriotandLiberty ^ | Mar 2019 | Bradley Thomas

Posted on 04/21/2023 2:24:14 AM PDT by spirited irish

Progressive ideology focuses on the “common good” while devaluing individual rights. This mindset, however, has disturbing consequences: when you elevate the “common good” over the rights of individuals, individuals become expendable.

Such a mindset can lead to some disturbing practices.

Eugenics and the Progressive Era

Indeed, American progressives in the Progressive Era had quite an affinity for eugenics as a means to improve the stock of society by “scientific” means of control.

Progressives were then and are now mystical pantheists. For them ‘god’ was and still is an evolutionary/Darwinian energy within history that always points at the righteousness of Progressives. This is why we hear them describing themselves as standing on the right side of history (their god force).

Progressives were behind the replacement of the personal God of creation with ‘science’ (meaning magic science) and the myth of Darwinism, which together with the Big Bang (exploding Cosmic Egg) constitute the mystical pantheist origin account. In bringing their origin account into schools they were able to slowly transition all Americans away from the Biblical view of themselves as God’s spiritual image bearers into acceptance of themselves as dehumanized apes of evolution. As the Biblical view is the foundation of our Constitutional Republic and our rights, its replacement meant the end of our Constitutional Republic and rights since apes have no rights. In this way Progressives destroyed our Republic without firing even one shot.

Democrats are, today, eagerly sterilizing mentally ill children. I suppose they think that future generations will thank them.

They believe they’re cleansing the gene pool of all undesirable and evil (Caucasian) genes. And of course they’re standing on the right side of history (their god-force) as they do so which makes their cause righteous.

That begs the question... If a generation is sterilized, who’s going to pay the taxes to prop up their welfare state in thirty years?

Democrats do not think. They feel and do. They are instinct driven with zero logic in anything they do. they are essentially animals with advanced communication abilities. also partially explains why they want to hump anything and everyone in sight.

anyone with an IQ remotely close to 100 can see what you’re describing.

The South, after the Civil War, knew the freed slaves would be great competition for jobs. They had superior work skills and abilities they learned on the plantations. The pseudo-science of eugenics was their way to justify their bigoted treatment of them. They were looked upon as subhuman and a people to be eliminated from the competition, much like the Germans wanted to eliminate the Jews. It was the misinterpretation of Darwinism that spawned all kinds of havoc.

Darwinism is not modern empirical science at all but occult science. This is why it is open to interpretation since it is really about the unseen realm and there is nothing unchanging or permanent about it.

It originated among ancient pagan materialists and pantheists:

"When I began the search for anticipations of the evolutionary theory....I was led back to the Greek natural philosophers and I was astonished to find how many of the pronounced and basic features of the Darwinian theory were anticipated even as far back as the seventh century B.C." (Osborn, From the Greeks to Darwin, p. xi)

Charles Darwin (1809-82) helped spread pagan evolutionary materialism to the masses and eager seminarians and theologians. As Stephen Jay Gould argues,

"Darwin applied a consistent philosophy of materialism to his interpretation of nature," and "the ground of all existence; mind, spirit, and God (are reduced to) neural complexity." (Darwin Day in America, p. 41)

Eugenics is a pseudo-science reliant upon man as evolved ape or matter in motion and Darwinism is the occult science that licenses such inhumane thinking.

Darwin was a Christian.

Darwin wasn’t evil.

But the people who intentionally pervert what he thought are.

I think Darwin was 50% right. I think natural selection is a reality and alter species over time. I don’t think species “evolve” into other species. That idea is crazy.

Natural selection does indeed take place.

But that may not be the only means of evolution.

Stephen Jay Gould postulated something called punctuated equilibrium.

I notice Gould hasn’t been demonized.

Not Arian, not bullshit.

Open your eyes and what do you see ?

Black haired, non white (varying shades of brown) that don't speak English

In a letter to F.A. McDermott dated November 24, 1880, Darwin wrote, “I am sorry to have to inform you that I do not believe in the Bible as divine revelation, & therefore not in Jesus Christ as the son of God. Darwin Correspondence Project, letter 12851; www.darwinproject.ac.uk/entry-12851.

Darwin rejected Jesus Christ, hence the Word of God. Thus he embraced the pagan conceptions undergirding Darwinism and then introduced these conceptions into the Christian West

Whether what Darwin did was evil is up to Jesus Christ, the eternal Judge.

I live in an area with lots of Hispanics. They work harder than most white folk. As long as the job gets done—why care? I used to love when they would bring in their food.

I'm married to a five foot nuthin', 98 lb. Filipina that outworks two white men.

My original comment was directed to the infiltration we are experiencing much advanced by the biden administration.

They are de facto brown skinned, black eyed and haired, non English speaking people.

It is my opinion that it is an intentional act to displace white (European) people.

We know, for instance, that ancient (and not so ancient) Polinesians had the naval ability to travel very far distances for long periods of time, but the place we call the united States of America wasn't popularized and ultimately populated until white Europeans first shrugged off the flat earth theory and then chanced their lives on the same open waters.

Thus, the deserved history of a white America . . . . . NOW being colonized with conclaves of non white people.
