    Once thought like that, but actually think through it and it’s not possible without being evil: what are the criteria, who makes the call, who watches those making such calls to ensure it’s fair (and who watches them and so on because this kind of thing would immediately attract people seeking power over others and therefore corruption), how does one appeal, etc etc etc.

    It just isn’t possible without being a fascist (evil).

      Also it’s been done before even in “nonfascist” states - see forced sterilization of indigineous peoples and African Americans in the US.

      Having a child is something a pair of consenting adults can do with their own bodies. How the state can get involved in that without it being a major incursion on personal liberty should cause one to pause.

      I’m convinced that in this part of the world most supporters are either active or latent white supremacists. In other parts it’s often based on subjugation of a more specific ethnic group, which isn’t any better. It’s all fascism at the end of the day.
