Hey, bud; maybe let's not bring whorephobic and misogynistic euphemisms into this.

Not to mention the eugenicism this would ignite.

Reparations for colonialism
Continue ongoing work of turning away from exploitative systems in society such as supporting syndicalist/collectivist business structures instead of capitalism
I'm pretty certain they already consider canola oil in the bad™ group.
Thought that was Ellie Kemper in the preview images and was really confused.
I've really enjoyed ncdu (for those looking for a non-GUI option).
Yeah; as a black person, the whole thing was just so obviously in the vein of White Flight rhetoric, etc.
Thank you; I've felt like I've been hallucinating the past week with Lemmy doubling down on capitalism – but in our backyard – and seemingly neglecting that Europe had its own long, and currently ongoing, history of colonialism and exploration.
The reach for shoring up existing systems – but just, now, in European control – rather than establishing better ones has been massively disappointing.
It's only cold because, if slightly anything goes awry, humanity ceases to exist.
The eugenicism is because of the tests; not the politicians.

You think this would work because you assume we could write such tests with such accuracy as to evade bias (or that such requirement for testing wouldn't be exploited by opportunists to place metrics much more aligned with whom said opportunists would like to eradicate).
I'd point out that you say the tests should test for empathy but Empathy Deficit Disorder exists and, as EDD people often point out, the lack of being able to feel empathy doesn't stop them from wanting to help people and making choices based off that desire. They just don't feel empathy when they do it.
Of course, you're not using that word to mean literally understanding and relating to others' feelings; sympathy would certainly qualify.
But how do you ensure that? Who gets to implement these tests? And what stops it from being someone who just sees Empathy Deficit Disorder and goes, "Eew…keeping them away from this…."
I always feel to like I sound like I'm being condescending but (and I mean this as genuinely as possible) you should try selling out writing and theory by disabled authors. Because of the way disabled people are erased from both culture and society as practically a matter of function, it can be really hard to even realize the ways in which our assumptions don't factor them in. Stuff covering ability and autonomy are incredibly interesting in the ways they think about concepts due different lived experiences.
