          Is this a eugenics thing? Like I’m sure some of his supporters actually believe his genes are important for humanity and need to be passed on. I wouldn’t be surprised if more than a few of his fans would think a crisis killing millions of people would be great because we could repopulate with billionaire DNA, who obviously have the -b e s t- genes.

            That was the implied part of the take of that one extremely reddit-logo youtube infographic series (Kurzgesagt I think) that used to do pop science interest videos but decided to bootlick for Bill Gates and started doing “billionaires ruling over us are cool and good actually” takes and the capstone of that propaganda was the climate collapse video that announced that it would be “a victory for humans” if even 1% of the world population survived because that would magically mean the world is somehow inhabitable again (instead of continuing whatever death spiral killed 99% of people) and that the elect 1% would reach the stars and otherwise attain science victory win conditions like in the 4x treats. morshupls
