    Now we just need to agree on what “negatively” and "positively"are. Spoiler: won’t happen. And that’s precisely the underlying problem.

      It’s amazing how different we can view “negatively”.

      OP probably thinks IQ or something should decide. White Christian nationalists probably have another metric. Other religious extremists may have their own. Other countries may define it themselves.

      The idea is naive because it doesn’t think through the obvious “who gets to decide”. No matter how OP would reply to that question, there’s another person behind them to twist it horribly

        It reminds me of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”.

        This always had the same issue - an administration gets to decide. And they decide a lot of people need to die. And that, the closer to the party top you are, the more needs you have.

    This isn’t an unpopular opinion, it’s been held repeatedly in history. Lots of famines and lots of extermination. Hitler and Stalin held this opinion.

    Downvoted not because it’s a hateful opinion, but because it’s a popular one, unfortunately.

      People who hold this opinion seem to contribute negatively to society

        On the other hand, I wish everyone could just forget these monsters. Their names wiped from history.

        On the other hand, that wouldn’t be fair to the victims.

    Fascism and eugenics are quite popular, just so long as you don’t use those names.

    I agree that people with more than 100 million dollars in assets should all be put in a giant meat grinder.
