  Does it though? To me, it shows the horrors that it leads to. It does promote the idea that even the most average person can have ideas that can improve living conditions if given the chance.

      Idiocracy. Great movie, it shows the decline of society due to the lack of education and increased birthrates of those who could not care less about anything but corporations. In one scene they go to Costco and the greeter says, “Welcome to Costco, I love you.”

      The person who replied to my original post thought the movie promoted eugenics. I guess to a point, but it is more of a warning than a glorification.

        The premise that stupidity is inherited from parents is one based on eugenics and false. It’s still a funny movie, but it’s also important to recognize that it is based on a false premise

    It literally states that the poor are having more children and thus that’s going to destroy society. That’s great except for the part where it isn’t true.
