Wells and Galsworthy and Arnold Bennett are often lumped together by literary critics, but Bennett wasn't a eugenicist. He was a humanitarian.

He was a leading Fabian so this isn’t surprising. Pretty mild in fact compared to his confrère and buddy H. G. Wells.

HG Wells was also a eugenicist?

While some were outright pigs, some really thought Eugenics would improve the human condition. It was 'science' after all. W.E.B. Dubois had been a proponent.

I don't think it is a matter of "good" intent. The Nazis genuinely thought they were strengthening the German nation through mass murder.

The War of the Worlds was an experiment on radio, much like all of our media, sports included. Did Wells have that in mind?

Verrrrrry interesting article! This sounds right - and probably why everyone was just letting it all hang out saying this awful shit: "Crucially, these early leftists regarded science as an utterly neutral tool; something could not be scientifically right and morally wrong. In this climate, says Wooldridge, “eugenics became the political correctness of its day”. If you were modern, you believed in it."

Social Engineering has been alive and well for decades (nay, centuries?)...sigh...

It was absolutely everywhere. In the 1920s in the US, they held county fairs all over the place where they’d elect a Mr. and Mrs. Eugenics next to the prize bull and the largest squash. The minimum wage was introduced in countries of the British Commonwealth so that the ‚superior‘ races wouldn’t be outbred by the ‚inferior‘ ones. And let me tell you about the intellectual crush leading Nazi eugenicists had on Margaret Sanger…

A relative of mine worked as a secretary in the Department of Eugenics (the name was a bit longer than that I can't recall now) at a major state university in the 1930's. No one learns about this stuff in school.

Do you think that he knew that this was what was happening already? "Always fond of gazing into the future, HG Wells pictured a caste of all-powerful super-talented Ubermenschen, who would wear Samurai-style dress, and order the affairs of the planet." Except maybe for the Samurai-style dress - but you never know what they wear behind closed doors!

I wonder what Shaw and Wells are thinking now - from their eternal vantage point in Hell?

To bad they can't come back and tell us - and recant their idiocy! I'm sure they'd love a(nother) chance for redemption.

Excellent essay. Interesting that Shaw and other eugenicists like HG Wells were members of the Fabian Society. It's hard to see this eugenicist impulse in lower middle-class strivers like Shaw and Wells as anything other than a disgust of the lower orders with their coarse manners and the apparent 'filth' in which they lived. I'm not the first to remark that this is a kind of class warfare that echoes through the centuries. The poor are acceptable as cannon fodder in times of war, but in peacetime they are so unsightly, seems to be the message. My parents and grandparents were members of these lower orders. Oligarch snake-oil grifters and eugenicists and aristocrats had better be careful - the world is changing, and not in their favour.

By the way, I was brought here by @peterhalligan - top bloke.

I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!

There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!

There is a fate worse than death - I would rather die than be a robotized slave of technocratic overlords! This is my hill to die on!

I have a landline and a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, all the tech anyone should ever want or need. I never had and refuse to ever have one of those infernal mobile devices that are designed to enslave you.

My loathing of AI and all things NANO and digital knows no bounds!

Kudos to JERRY NEWFIELD's heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!

How I stick my thumb in the eyes of the grotesque billionaire bastards pushing their enslavement agenda and how I embrace being fully human.

Fighting the globalist predator technocrat psychopath megalomaniac TOTAL SLAVERY AGENDA one performance at a time!

Amazing Amy: Eccentric Yoga Entertainer!

As an entertainer, I have been devastated and practically destroyed by the closure of all performance venues and then when they reopened, because MY BODY, MY CHOICE - being made a total untermenschen pariah outcast in NAZI NIGHTMARE LAWLESS 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' JAB CROW APARTHEID/DISCRIMINATION/SEGREGATION HELL NYC WHERE THE MAD/DRUNK WITH POWER TYRANT POLS DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES. I am trapped here with zero financial resources to leave or do anything else about this 'wish I were dead' endless misery life has become. The tragic irony is that my SPREAD THE YOGA LOVE performances are all about health, miraculously overcoming age (68) and injury to achieve feats of flexibility few can attain at any age. So BIG PHARMA who wants to addict every person on the planet to their toxic products hate people like me who prove that we do not need them if we eat healthy organic food and exercise daily!

I try and live and embody the creative performing artistic world and life I so fervently want existence to be about.

They can stick their f*cking damned NANO, Digital IDs, AI, jabs and chips up their asses where the sun don't shine!

All manner of lies and propaganda spew forth from the upper echelons in governments worldwide who are completely intertwined with the global criminal ruling class that wants to commit the worst atrocities imaginable and suffer no consequences. And their corruption slithers down the chain of command creating petty tyrants everywhere.

Supporting this excellent post with a statement and useful links. https://virustruth.net

We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!

It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!

We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED AGENDA!

There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.

How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!

RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!

Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.

There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!

APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!

MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!

NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!

TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.

NO GREEN NEW DEALS OR BUILD BACK BETTER FROM THE CRIMINAL TECHNOCRAT TYRANTS KLAUS SCHWAB AND HIS CRONIES FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM.

STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!

I will read the Webb essay when I can access it on my computer, not on my phone. Interesting information for sure. However, whatever the intent, as a practical matter the laws apply to all workers except employers using illegal immigrants but there are always scofflaws. Pretty hard to see minimum wage laws as something that hurt people any more than child labor laws which were, and still are, necessary. Of course, in the post-industrial, digital, AI-controlled, authoritarian society those laws might become superfluous or easily ignored.

This isn't surprising at all - sadly. When Courts upheld vax mandates based on Mass. v. Jacobson and no media or attorney outlet analyzed the decision, I thought it was very strange. So I looked it up. A minute later I stumbled on Buck v. Bell which upheld state forced sterilization based on the Jacobson decision. Justice Holmes literally wrote the same police powers that can force a vax (a fine actually) can force sterilization of the unwashed - which would have included my ancestors because they were very poor and very unwashed. The connection between Eugenics and Progressive thought opened my eyes in very unanticipated ways. While Eugenics informed Shaw's thoughts, I wonder if Shaw influenced Herbert Marcuse because of his sentiments that, though women are a social construct, they are also useful idiots in that social construct.

Quote Eugenics and the Master Race. "Eventually, in the shadow of Auschwitz, Treblinka and Sobibor, the British left gave up its flirtation with eugenics. They saw where it had led. But, just like the governments of Scandinavia, their past was buried too quickly – and forgotten."

The elites have not given up on eugenics they have in fact doubled down but in reverse. Instead of applying the old rules to rid themselves of the "parasite" they have now engaged the parasite through unrestricted immigration to displace and destroy the domestic population that has been betrayed by it's own leadership through economic, political and social destruction. They will enslave what is left. Since they are slow and easily led gimmigrants will be far easier to enslave than a population of semi-educated whites that have gained their sight. Starting with middle east invasion and ending this particular cycle with 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Also look at how the west contributes to the wholesale destruction of the Ukraine while they actually provide nothing useful in helping them defend or even win a battle. Tanks and IFV are nothing without supporting infantry, artillery, air power, engineering, logistics, and EW. Ukraine will be a test bed for their new society once flattened. Russia and the rest of the west share nearly the same socialist ideology and zest for globalist ideals and the leadership are working in tandem to take Ukraine and make it look divisive. They can all say what they want, they are all doing the same thing. CBDC, digital ID, and enforced health regulations. I could care less what they say. It's what they do and they are doing it to the 99%.
