From Trump’s claims linking painkillers to autism, to the UK government’s two-child cap policy, from Sydney Sweeney’s coded ad campaign to Silicon Valley’s billion-dollar dreams of genetic “perfection”, a chilling pattern is re-emerging.

Eugenics, once discredited as the pseudoscience of racial purity is back. Rebranded. Tech-fueled. Marketed as progress.

In this urgent new episode of The Tea with Myriam François, we’re joined by writer and historian Subhadra Das to unpack how eugenics has crept back into mainstream culture, from right-wing populism to “wellness” culture, and why understanding this ideology is essential to resisting it.

We unpack:

⚠️ Trump, Farage, and the rise of “bad science”

⚠️ Sydney Sweeney’s ad: What’s the real agenda behind her “blue jeans”?

⚠️ The UK two-child cap: economic eugenics in action?

⚠️ Eugenics and Gaza: deadly parallels

⚠️ How COVID changed the eugenics trajectory/discourse

⚠️ Overpopulation vs. underpopulation: what’s really at stake

⚠️ The shocking proposal for an autistic registry in the US

⚠️ Tech bros’ transhumanist dream: eugenics rebranded

⚠️ From Francis Galton to Elon Musk: the dark side of “progress”

⚠️ Real resistance: reclaiming our shared humanity

Eugenics as “science” might have been debunked, but according to Subhadra, eugenics thinking never really went away. As she reminds us: “It’s always about picking out a group of people who are seen to be a problem”.
