I don't really "believe" this. But as the traditional means of manipulating a population toward the desired goals become less and less effective, actual supervillainy is going to become more tempting—esp as you still own the means of propaganda. They'll defend whatever you do
If ruling interests have the means and motive to get away with *actual* supervillainy, even a jokingly plausible move like this, then "Bayesian rationalism" insists we should up the likelihood they're already doing so with subtler acts of it.
I mean, full ownership of a gigantic propaganda engine all but guarantees you're doing a lot of shit most people would hate, minus that engine. That's why you felt the need to build it to begin with.
Anyway, just a little thought experiment.

Again, this is a logically consistent position for them to take. If differences in racial outcomes are widespread, persistent for generations, and resistant to all interventions, those differences have to be caused by *something*
This is the Gordion knot multicultural liberalism has made for itself, and why it's doomed. It has no escape hatch, it either has to admit that yes, society *is* oppressing marginalized groups... or yes, turns out there are significant genetic differences between groups. Whoops
It can attempt to buy itself a little time by saying the differences are "cultural," but progressivism will just reroute this into a form of oppression
What, are you saying your culture is *better* than ours? How can yours be "better" when it's marginalizing everyone else?
@chudsommeleir No I'm not a literal Nazi, I've just spent the last seven-odd years giving myself a Master's in Racist Studies
Lemme think for a minute about what I'd actually like to see tried. It would probably be something like "Singapore, but with a large rural hinterland"
@chudsommeleir Here's the thing (prepare for potential sperg-out, but you asked)
Dysgenics runs deeper than racial differences. It hits *all* races. So while denial of differences might reinforce the machine of dysgenics, it isn't the machine itself
@chudsommeleir The machine itself seems to be "liberation;" a skewed ratio of urbanites to ruralites; the cargo-cult of education; and probably mass migration too (more important than that they tend to be lower-IQ is that it almost certainly depresses native fertility too)
Mayb this is well-known but the main thing people seem to be grappling with is that capitalism is the process of increasing centralization while Darwinism requires decentralization
For instance the Marxist end-goal of capitalism is full centralization (i.e. homogenization), which is why Nietzsche describes it as anti-life, because at that point there is no more Darwin involved. You have reached an "end state" (and, directly related, end of states)
Look let's not kid ourselves, there's a flaw in the Matrix here, where capitalism inevitability pushes itself toward the gray-goo state of full centralized homogeneity
All post-banking/Industrial Revolution ideological systems are an attempt to grapple with this problem
Reminder that "irony" is, historically traced, pretty much the case of "being out of favor of the gods."
There is almost no irony in the Sumerian myths, or the Vedas, and only starting to emerge in the Homeric epics, or in the Germanic Beowulf etc
The Greeks certainly did, they had a grasp of it in Homeric times, and as they reassembled themselves, the Classical Greeks perfected it: to the point where the Romans created the first ironic novel, the Satyricon
In the "Dark Ages," irony was then dead for centuries
Even the irony of Beowulf was Greek in nature, an ironic falling out with the gods, until a fully unironic hero emerged to kill the demons of chaos. The banishment of dragons and monsters.
Well it turns out the extreme risks of globalist liberal democracy is that it results in the gradual extermination of the very people capable of maintaining it.
Note how fertility rates crater every time civil rights are widely expanded. Global-liberalism destroys human ability.
The first three graphs show dysgenic fertility. They're all modern, global-liberalism in action.
The last one shows eugenic fertility during the Middle Ages: along with a transition period in the Industrial Revolution where the reproduction of human ability became flat
"Eugenics" is of course a hate-word, so let's replace it with a kind-word: "sustainable"
So what we see here is that cosmopolitan global liberal whatever is a non-sustainable devourer of human capital
Which means that the longer it persists, the worse the collapse will become
