So much that could be said on this topic, but I just want to mention two. Are you aware of any sources for Helen Keller discussing her support for eugenicism? I keep seeing it mentioned, and that is such a fascinating paradox to me. Also, did you see Dawkins tweeting about saying Merry Christmas?🤡🤣

I've never tried to trace the Helen Keller eugenics stuff.

IMO the important shit is that it was a mass movement in a lot of ways. Lots of people said shit. Lots of folks were on team eugenics before WW2. It's super staggering if you don't know.

And yeah, I saw Dawkins finally fully transitioning into his final form as a sad right wing twitter pundit.
