Collateral Damage to the Gene Pool.
—Eugene Bodeswell, Council Ethnographer.
Now, at last, we correct the imbalance. The strong stayed home. The rest marched off—with ring lights and strollers—into history.
We used to send our best to die. Now we send the leftovers. The future thanks us.
“We used to say war selects for the bold. Now it selects for the remote-controlled and the remote-controlling.”
Modern warfare—with its drone strikes, cyber targeting, and antiseptic precision—no longer requires legions of men storming beaches. And yet, the most vital elements of a civilization’s lineage—courage, conscientiousness, restraint, loyalty—are still the first casualties.
From my ongoing field notes:
Who dies?
– The dutiful, who still believe in service.
– The fit, who volunteer not for empire, but for endurance.
– The idealistic, who carry more in their hearts than their orders.
Who remains?
Along with the total botched one must include the following:
– The evasive, the cynical, the deskbound.
– The strategist who shuffles citizens like tokens.
– The opportunist who survives each war by selling supplies to both sides, then moves to the next country.
This is not merely a moral tragedy—it is a dysgenic event, slow and accumulating. In the ethnographic sense: a long-term depletion of stabilizing traits from the population reservoir.
On Dysgenic Drift
Peter R. Mossback, in a marginal note passed across the Council’s long table, wrote:
“A civilization that bombs its best and shelters its worst will one day wake up to find its courage outsourced, its conscience annexed, and its sperm count classified.”
⚠️ Council Proposal: A Selective Draft for the Non-Contributive
In a quiet subcommittee meeting held in the underground bunker beneath the Gist & Tangent Pub, the Council has floated the following policy initiative:
The Draft of the Botched.
A compulsory conscription track for individuals whose public actions, private appetites, and overall life arcs signal little-to-no beneficial impact on the future of civilization.
A Partial List of Recommended inclusion criteria:
Repeat reality show contestants
TikTok clout chasers with visible tongue piercings
NFT investors still holding the bag
Political consultants under 35
Men who’ve had three or more hair transplants before age 30
Women who describe astrology as a “spiritual science”
Grown adults who say “do better” unironically
Anyone who ever clapped at a corporate DEI seminar
Pet owners who identify as their dog’s “co-parent”
Those who refer to their vasectomy as “liberation”
Past recipients of participation trophies who later became life coaches
Self-appointed citizen fact-checkers
Opinion makers at Townhall and Gateway Pundit, Newsmax, etc.
This isn’t punishment. This is placement.
Let them do what they were born to do: dig trenches, follow orders, and update their followers from the front lines.
It’s not only a form of negative eugenics. It’s eco-integrated population management with fieldwork potential.
And it might be the first war that ever made the next generation stronger.
Not Quite on Topic, But Perfectly in View:
Had Iran possessed a nuclear bomb, Israel would not have attacked.
This is not conjecture—it is historical behavior.
In the Council’s view, this confirms The Paradox of Deterrent Fragility:
Sometimes only the worst possible weapon makes peace possible.
Warmongers among the conservatives should learn to think outside the box while this is still possible.
—A message to the flock from : Fr. Omage S.J. delivered in his sermon on Mutually Assured Garlic-Flavored Ice Cream Consumption
“Protect the bold, mourn the good, and beware a peace that rewards only the cunning.”
—Final line recorded from Council Minutes, approved by gesture and silence.
“If the word dysgenic confuses you, rest easy: its cousin dystopia already made itself at home in your bloodstream.”
