We both know that you weren't 'wondering about a hypothetical future dystopia' you were talking about your sincere beliefs. Only that once those beliefs came into the light they looked really ugly, so you've stashed them away again and are pretending it's not what you really think. Come on. You think poverty is mostly genetic and that rich people are, on average, genetically superior. You think once capitalism begins to come a bit undone the poors are going to start breeding like rabbits. You think that's super bad so we need to use government propaganda to get them to stop breeding. You think once we reach a certain point of genetic technology we'll be able to remove all the poor genes and no one will be poor anymore. If you'd left your comments up it'd be clear that this was no thought experiment and you're just backpedaling. I'd much rather see you change your beliefs than whining about the 'thought police' when someone calls out your poverty-essentialism and eugenical ideas.
