This feels like culling the herd with extra steps. Like... Someone smart was like... Hey, we need to get rid of dumb people. How do we do that? Oh, I know... Make a place where the dumb people really want to go by relaxing laws that protect people from being dumb. Then, we'll make the dummies believe they're the smart and patriotic ones for moving there. When they all wind up in this insane distopia, let's just... Infect them with measles and tell them it's fine! As long as Facebook and a bunch of weirdo authority figures reinforce their dumb feelings of being smart, in the end, we won't even need a genocidal dictator or gas chambers! The dummies will do the job for us!
I mean... it's just a thought. That's not really what's happening...
... Right?
No, it's not.
