      It’s not eugenics, it’s evolution. Eugenics is intentional, the intelligent population in the movie dies off due to unplanned, natural ecological factors. Also, it’s a comedy, just chill out.

        Intelligence is not a genetic trait. The claim that it is one is a myth used to perpetuate eugenics. It comes from the archaic claim that “black people are inherently less intelligent than white people” because “white people are genetically superior”.

        It has nothing to do with evolution.

        Also, the flimsy excuse “it’s just a joke” is simply that: an excuse.

          Intelligence is not a genetic trait

          Wait, where the hell did you get this idea? Racially? No, intelligence spans significantly from individual to individual regardless of race, but on that individual level, genetics have a significant impact on intelligence.

          Not only that, but the movie makes no commentary on race whatsoever, throwing that in is solely your own addition.

              Pointing out to you how useless everyone here is. How the left is full of people saying that they’ll do something and who are pissed off every day but they can’t be bothered to create content, build networks or spread awareness. They think they’ll show up to some protest 3 cities away and that will somehow fix stuff because that’s what worked in the 70s. What are you doing, seriously what are you doing? Just trying to keep the status quo that’s working great currently, what are you trying to defend here?

                  But they don’t. The average leftist left all social media. It’s clear as day given that so much content is absent any left ideas. The reason people in all our lives all agree that Charlie Kirk was such a great guy is because people on the left doing exist in any significant way outside of a couple digital spaces. One of those is Lemmy. Go get a sample and start asking random people if they have social media accounts elsewhere anymore. Go ask people in your life if they’re aware of any of the ideas on the left. Go on any social media and see if you’re getting videos defending left wing principals or is it just toxic hate posts. The left abandon digital spaces and retreated to places like Lemmy.
