Propaganda doesn’t have to be convincing to be propaganda
True, but it has to deliberately TRY to be convincing. Otherwise it’s by definition not propaganda.
When people are saying we live in Idiocracy, it’s not a very far leap to say that we need policies in place to direct the growth of the human population.
To the people that only know eugenics as “the thing Nazis believed”, then it is. The way neonazis onboard people is by asking questions such as “don’t you think we should try to eliminate this horrible genetic disease?”
It’s the same premise.
Edit: actually, I had forgotten. The pseudoscientist inventor of eugenics, Francis Galton, specifically sought to make the human population smarter.
