          It was also a Greco Roman thing, but the relevant bit here is the German based instance user advocating for forced sterilization.

            The Romans castrated servants for subservience. The Nazis castrated to prevent reproduction. Amin castrated prisoners as punishment.

                I think mutilating political opponents would still fall under reproductive prevention. The article states that blinding was the common form of punitive mutilation.

                  The important bit here is the eugenics angle. Which was a Nazi (and American…) thing.

                  Unless you think OP is more concerned with trying to eliminate political rivals instead of worrying about the gene pool? Possible, I suppose. Cut the MAGA off at the twig and berries.

                    Good point. I didn’t consider that they were implying removal of future parental rights. Semantics? I’m always down for some antics.
