In our latest episode of 'The Altar and the Eagle,' we unpack the chilling legacy of eugenics and its use for political gains, tracing from Galton up to the atrocities of Nazi Germany. By examining the weaponization of us-versus-them rhetoric, we see how it not only shaped historical tides of tyranny but warns us of similar patterns today. We explore the perversion of science for regime propaganda and the crucial role propaganda played in the vilification of the other. This episode serves as a powerful reminder to remain vigilant, to challenge divisive narratives, and to uphold the inclusivity and dignity across all spheres of society. Always remember, history is the greatest teacher for a more conscientious and united future.
