npub1f8ufv4euhwf6ty3h5k2sa6en7ch6wjcdp2slpy2ufzlanutqpu7s5mcgqt (npub1f8u…cgqt) yeah malthus was a political commentator and religious figure in the 19th century who attempted to argue that poverty is inevitable.
he also linked it in with some strange theodicies. by that i mean he moralised about how the poor are so because of their own vices or ‘lower nature’.
not sure if he was linked with eugenics, but i would not be surprised if eugenicists have historically found malthus quite compelling.
