Yes! People keep on thinking that they’re so smart by saying “see, idiocracy was riiiight” when the movie basically tries to say that stupidity is hereditary, and that dumb people (understand: the sub-race) need to be eradicated through eugenics.
That is such a nazi stance, and there’s a gigantic amount of morons that don’t see it and keep on screaming “idiocracyyyyy” anytime they can.
mike judge hasn’t really expressed those opinions in his other works so i don’t think the movie tries to express that. it just does, perhaps unintentionally. you can equally make the case that it’s a great replacement allegory, or a meritocratic argument, or criticism of institutions that neglect the lower classes.
point being, i’d like to know what the writers room tried to actually make it express.
