Forget Hashtag Activism: a Millennial's Guide To Nuclear Weapons Realism
Lasrick writes: Matthew Costlow is frustrated with his generation's tendency of "hashtag activism" and would like Millennials instead to get real on the issue of nuclear weapons. He writes: "Allow me to suggest a radical new mindset for my generation as it confronts the issues of nuclear disarmament, Russian and Chinese aggression, and nuclear proliferation: extreme humility. Instead of 'boldly' proclaiming the need to raise awareness, let's utilize our generation's greatest asset—access to data—and truly understand the issues before trying to solve anything. Instead of proposing 'fresh ideas' for their own sake, let's recognize that we are not the first generation to deal with these issues and probably will not be the last. Instead of studiously avoiding specifics or hard choices, let's face a messy reality and not simplify an increasingly complex world to bumper-sticker activism."
The same progressivism that used to promote eugenics? Or the one that promotes a planned economy, causing wild distortions that make things worse? Or the one that supported the prohibition (of alcohol), with disastrous outcomes?
Nah, it's the same progressivism that promotes the abortion of "undesirables". Read Margaret Sanger - the founder of Planned Parenthood. There's a reason their abortion clinics are found in mostly-black areas....
"Eugenics" indeed.
