I understand your concern seeing as the Eugenics movement started in California, but the same type of people are now running the ACLU.
A lot of folks in here don't appreciate how astute you really are. You have hit the nerve here of the whole racist character of progressivism. Somebody call One Brow and see if he can get the point.
The high-minded socialists of the Flapper era did indeed see Eugenics as the hope for the world. Obviously, something just had to be done about all those rednecks in the Southern woods, the plains hayseeds, and the huddled masses of European immigrants cluttering the city streets. And only the elites can truly solve the problems of the world in the right way, and clear the trailer trash off the face of the earth.
The ACLU, for the record, was started by marxists determined to fix the world according to their own enlightened views. There was a time when it became a bit of a public relations problem to be known for who they really are, and they have solved it the same way an oil company once "fixed" their problematic green gasoline.
It was a big oil company. The research staff wanted to build a new lab and hire more staff to find an economical way to decolorize the suspicious-looking green gasoline. The engineers wanted to design a taller and more complicated fractionating column that could separate the "green" from the gasoline. The exploration division wanted to drill some new wells and maybe find some oil without the green problem. The board meetings became hostile campaigns for interested parties who all wanted to expand their little kingdoms of corporatism. Finally, to make peace, the management head called a consultant.
The consultant came, and went through the plant and solicitously listened to everyone. They all were excited to have him on their side. . . .
Finally, the time came for him to render his solution:
Advertise.
It is still being advertised today, and today the company used artificial dyes to make their gasoline green.
Today, nobody can be "good" unless they are also "progressive". And indeed, there is an overt dialogue going on among the "progressives" about how to rid the earth of folks who don't see things in the right light. Ideological purges are obviously the new "Eugenics" criteria.
