LWer: Heritage Foundation has some good ideas but they're not enough into eugenics for my taste
Which conservatives are these. This is just a libertarian fantasy, isn’t it.
I had to do a triple take on that "won't deem anyone inferior" like what the fuck are you talking about. The core of conservatism is the belief in rigid hierarchies! Hierarchies have superiors and inferiors by definition!
That depends on if you consider the "inferior" to be human, if they're even still alive after the eugenics part.

Technically superman is a more correct translation for that word (similarly to how superscript is the thing beyond the script)
Lot of hitler particles in this one.
I don't know very much about Nietzsche (I never finished reading my cartoon guide to Nietzsche), but I'm still pretty sure this isn't Nietzsche
I think I read the Foucault book in that series to prep for high-school debate team.
There's a Baudrillard one as well. I have a copy of the feminism one and I think it's actually very good although very 90s
Nah, I'm not sure how much he was into eugenics (he was at the very least definitely in favour of killing invalid children), but grandiose and incoherent reactionary aristocratic bullshit is a 100% valid reading of Nietzsche.
