@noam @mekkaokereke This peer reviewed article about Eugenics in the United States of Anerica in the 1930’s might be of some interest. It points out that hundreds of thousands of black people weee sterilized as part of “purifying” the human population. Also of note, it was promoted throughout colleges and universities during that time.

  @mekkaokereke @bishop I've never thought Tesla was a saint. He was a brilliant mind with some very strange ideas. Yes, he supported eugenics - I think a lot of people did in the 1930s. I don't know if he was worse than most or just following a trend. But I'm curious as to the anti-black claim. Any sources for that?

  I will admit I did not know this about Tesla. I have researched him quite a bit, but it is interesting the things biographers leave out.

    Attached: 4 images 🤔 I see y'all sharing a meme of Nikola Tesla saying "Get my name off your cars, you nazis!" or something like that? See, this is why knowing history is important. Nikola Tesla was an anti-Black eugenecist. And it's a good thing for the world that he died broke, because rich eugenecists are worse. https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/109452650987174576 Tesla was a fan of the forced sterilization happening in the USA, and believed that by 2100 mass eugenics would have "purified" the human race of all undesirables. That's who you're capping for. Shout out to everyone that's been a Nikola Tesla fan their entire lives, but is just learning this now. And for those people that want to pretend that this was a long time ago... Tesla died in 1943. Joe Biden and Robert DeNiro were already born.

  You wouldn't happen to have a photo of the Nazi washtub? It must have been massive for it not to have been destroyed during WWII.
  Or maybe it would be better not to pass around photos of Nazi items...

  ...why would one even need to import a stone washtub?
