I'ms surprised that the blog post doesn't touch on with more resurgent aspects of Eugenics in modern culture (at least on the Right):

- The rise of the pro-natalist movement that emphasizes artificial wombs and genetic screening, while advocating future genetic "upgrades" of humanity.

- The wide release of Bronze Age Pervert's book "Selective Breeding and the Birth of Philosophy"

- The "physiognomy" trends that are becoming more and more popular among the online right. These are not always couched in terms of genetics - i.e. it is tacitly assumed that it is a mix of nature and nurture.

Thanks for the comment. I wasn't familiar with BAP's work. I've tended to perceive the modern Right are more bioconservative (see e.g. Jordan Peterson on transhumanism), though yes, there is continued interest in the topic.
