God forbid those proles vote, or -- horror of horrors -- have one of the most fulfilling human experiences! They should all be disenfranchised and sterilized.

He may have been being sarcastic, but if you add three words it becomes less of a war crime and more of a solid plan for the future: "without an education". Yes, everyone should be able to vote and should be able to have kids. Everyone should have a good solid education that teaches critical thinking, too.

If someone is uneducated, that's everyone's problem, specifically because they do vote and do have kids. We shouldn't take that away from them, however we should do a better job at not producing uneducated citizens in the first place.

Detection of sarcasm is not one of your skills, apparently.
Conveying sarcasm may not be one of yours.
