no, "they" did not.

a few people did. these are the political liars and oppressive authoritarians and cronyistic regulators. a few people were wild eyed loons. but most people just went along to get along and most got fooled because they did not understand that the "experts" were not expert and that they would lie even if they were.

indeed, it is a war for the hearts and minds and we win by winning the vast middle that was just trying to survive this and had no idea what was being done to them. othering them as "non-purebloods" by using a deliberately provocative and divisive term does not further that.

what you call a "psy op" just feels like hubris that will rebound to hurt us. it's friendly fire to make it hard for the middle to join the cause.

there are lots of ways to go after those who did this without invoking the language of eugenics.

i get your anger, but i think you've misfocused it.

i'd really recommend dropping that term.

it hurts us. you're playing right into the opposition's hands.
