A dark adventure in a 1930’s where Eugenics in Britain is a reality.
British Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonald won the 1931 General Election because of the support given to him by the British Eugenics Society, the cost of that support is the creation of the Ministry of Social Biology (MoSB).

It's not innoccous to have children. It's not harmless, it's not something everyone should just mind their own business about, it's not a strict "personal choice."
Seriously.
Some people have no option to refrain from giving birth.
IT TAKES A FUCKING VILLAGE.
Not just a nuclear family, not just a couple, not just some aged-but-didn't-mature infant to treat a human being brought into this world unable to consent to existing in it or agreeing to its present state and conditions. They're not dolls, they're people.
It takes a village to raise a child. The Proverb apparently even originates in Africa, Nigeria.
Anything other than an extension of this philosophy in our modern global civilization is tantamount to an endorsement of American-style "rugged individualism."
Some people have no option to refrain from giving birth. They're either victims of ignorance, traditions, laws, or abusive partners. Worse than that, some are themselves abusers. And yet there they are, bringing innocents into the world.
It's not an innocuous decision to have children of your own.
What's wrong with the ones already born and already alive today? What's inferior or less fulfilling than taking care and ensuring the quality and dignity of life of those soon to be born? Those we cannot and by ethical principle, should not, impose upon the arrival of?
They're "less yours?"
Say that again, louder. "Less yours?"
Please do tell on yourself...

On Sept. 11, 2003, future co-owner of The Satanic Temple Doug “Lucien Greaves” Misicko, his friend and collaborator Shane Bugbee, and Shane Bugbee’s wife Amy Stocky hosted a 24-hour Internet radio stream with guests and callers to mark the release of their new edition of the proto-fascist manifesto Might Is Right.
The following year, Doug Misicko continued to appear on Internet radio streams with Shane and Amy.
“The ABCs of the Alphabet” was one such program.
This is an excerpt from one of those recordings.

Yeah, eugenics. Right right, right, right. No, no, no. Eugenics is the practice of proper breeding to produce a better gene pool, and a lot of people try to say that it doesn’t work, and that you can’t breed people better because of too many variables or anything else, but everybody knows through common sense that’s a bunch of shit because we’ve seen horse breeders, we’ve seen animal breeders, we’ve seen everything else. I mean, people give a shit about the papers when they get their dog. People give a shit about those things because they know it works. We know there’s facts of heredity. We know that smart people can have a stupid kid, and you know, stupid people can sometimes have a smart kid, but that’s called deviation from the mean, and it’s not uncommon. That happens, but nonetheless, I feel there should be a eugenics policy, or at least something to curb it’s opposite, which is dysgenics, which is producing inferior breeds through, like fetal alcohol syndrome, or crack babies, or whatever. We shouldn’t promote that, and often people will ask me, you know...
24:08 Shane Bugbee
Oh really? Lots of people ask professor Doug. “Oh, people will ask me...”
24:11 Doug Misicko
People will often ask me “How can you promote an idea like eugenics? Who is qualified... Who’s going to decide who is qualified to have a kid, and who’s not?” You know? And I always tell them that I would be happy to decide. I would be happy to put up some kind of standardized test, like driving a fucking car, Y’know?
24:33 Shane Bugbee
So you would decide?
24:35 Doug Misicko
Why not?
25:36 Shane Bugbee
Why? Why is the real question.
24:38 Doug Misicko
Well, I think there’s a certain set of rules...
24:40 Shane Bugbee
Are you a painter? Do you make twelve thousand dollars a year?
24:42 Doug Misicko
We’re gonna get to that. We’re gonna get to that on "G".
24:46 Shane Bugbee
What are your qualifications, sir?
24:47 Doug Misicko
Right, right. My qualifications is that if nobody else is willing to decide, I will!
"Natural selection and modern civilization have ceased to exist. Today we live in a world overpopulated with bottom feeders. The pool is overfilled with the dregs, there is no inherent value on human life. The value is earned and most people are running a deficit. They're worse than worthless. They're counter-productive. What can be done? www.dysgenics.com."
I saw a word I didn't know in The Satanic Temple Iceberg, dysgenics. I am afraid to Google it and feed that into my algorithm. What the heck are dysgenics?
Sure. If "eugenics" is about good breeding, then "dysgenics" is the opposite of that: bad breeding.
Here's Lucien Greaves explaining his website Dysgenics.com that he kept public and updated until 2018.
“Natural selection and modern civilization have ceased to exist. Today we live in a world overpopulated with bottom feeders. The pool is overfilled with the dregs, there is no inherent value on human life. The value is earned and most people are running a deficit. They’re worse than worthless. They’re counter-productive. What can be done? www.dysgenics.com.”
If Greaves has under that pseudonym, any other, or even his legal name, ever explained why he stopped supporting IQ-based forcible sterilization and the like, we are not aware of that statement, interview, etc.
