What phraseology! Found an online audiobook version of 'Eugenics and Other Evils' by G.K. Chesterton written 100yrs ago, and I thought that brought a lump to my throat. This?!...

...this intolerance of intolerance is a form of cultural eugenics. The strategy is to capture flawed cultures, excise the undesirable traits ... strengthen the preferred strains ... then release the defanged offspring back into the wild. ... sterile universalism is the real threat to human survival, but those doubters will be silenced soon enough. Cultural eugenics is just another path to God. Who are you to judge?

Utterly gobsmacked.

My Sicilian blood might be more insulted, had my British side not tempered the beast.
