Alex Jones provides false information about historical eugenics practices in America, such as claiming CPS would steal uteruses from people with low grades, which disempowers the audience by obscuring real racial and class components of those crimes.

Also, it's important to note how Alex is talking about these things like sterilization and eugenics that did go on in America, but he's talking about them in a cartoonish way. There were horrible things that were done to people, but saying that if you got under a B +, that CPS would show up and steal your uterus is just stupid. And what you're doing there is you're giving the audience a diet of false information about real things that disenable them. You can't deal with reality on its own terms. You'll never be able to see the trends that did exist within the eugenics that went on. in America that did have racial components to it, that did have class components to it, that will not be available to you to analyze, to understand, to put into your... View of how the world exists. Because you're just going to be like, oh, they got under a B +, the globus took the uterus.
