      Eugenics is about encouraging or discouraging reproduction to maximize or minimize genetic traits in a population. Food production and preservation is a learned skill. Starving to death because you won’t adapt to changing supply chains or figure out how to feed yourself with what’s available is a choice. My comment leans more towards an indifferent attitude towards the failure of large numbers of people to break their reliance on traditional capitalist structures and hierarchies. The people who choose to share with their neighbors are going to survive because of mutual aid, the others will continue to ride on the power of their wealth even if it gets less, or try and steal from those they think are weaker, but again, the power of mutual aid makes that a dangerous prospect. I plant more than I need for myself so I can share with neighbors, but I’d let my MAGA neighbor shrivel up and blow away rather than waste food on them. They made their choice, live and die by it.
