I get what you anons mean. Liberals will do exactly what you are demonstrating here. And they will have to rely on the lemmings' ignorance of biology to get the idea to spread. Unfortunately, the truth in this case has much greater memetic friction because it is more difficult a concept. However, anons, we can work on ways to explain epigenetics that lower the friction and give the truth a chance to out the leftist mischaracterization in a timely fashion.
Please stick around for the next part, I'm not going to explain it perfectly but hopefully it will help. So, epigenetics is essentially genetic memory that is stored by polymerization (carboxylation, really, but biochemfags may see why I'm dumbing it to polymerization in a bit). Genes can be turned on and off by addition of chemical functional groups which make it much harder for ribosomes to translate that gene into protein. Like lots of other polymers, once the gene is "polymerized" into the off position, it requires lots of chemical energy to break the bond holding the polymer together (/demethylate or decarboxylate the gene) / turn the gene back on.
In practice, I'll tell you about a mouse study from a couple of years ago. First, they kept some female rats in near starvation and got them pregnant with sperm from males who were fed normally. Then they observed the genes and the fatness of the resulting offspring. The fast metabolism genes were turned off not in the daughter rats but only in the granddaughter rats. This was because the original mother rat was starving and that *extreme* environmental stimulus was enough to generate the necessary chemical environment in granddaughter germ cells to turn off the fast metabolism genes. This is because the daughter rat formed all the eggs of her lifetime in the womb under starvation conditions. So those fast metabolism genes were only turned off for her granddaughters. Since the epigenetic memory formation MAINLY MATTERS with germ cells, as this affects the default on/off state of genes in all other cells later on, the fatness of the rats worked out as follows: mother - starvation thin. Daughter - normal (mom's eggs weren't formed under starvation conditions). Granddaughter - fat even under restricted calories.
This is why (every decent) culture evolved to keep such a high standard of protection for women through their childbearing years. This is also why the grandchildren of the Great Depression are such tubs of lard.
See, the environment makes a massive difference in the chemical environment of a single cell. This can have major impacts on epigenetics/genetic memory. But once a person is a plethora of cells, each and every one of them is subject to a different microchemical environment.
So, how can we dumb this down to make my fucked up explanation a lot more intuitive and spreadable to counteract the leftists and their straw man of environment being the only thing that matters?
