It only bothers me when people are hung up on the genetics aspect.
People (broadly statistically) tend to grow up to be similar to thier parents in terms of values. Not so much because of DNA, but because of how they were raised.
The premise holds even if you toss away anything to do with biology. (Which you should)
Idiots tend to have idiot kids because they raised them in idiot households, and idiots tend to have more kids.
If you toss the eugenics, all thats left is an obvious spite against poor people. Because the “idiots” in the movie are just common caricatures of poor people
The very first line. You are asserting that if you throw away a genetic argument (which in every single post I’ve made, you’ll see that I am encouraging everyone to do) that “all that is left” is hating poor people. This dichotomy that you introduced leaves no third option of behaviors being transferred via concious or unconscious emulation of parental figures.

That’s an interesting perspective.
In the “nature vs nurture” debate, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone so emphatically proclaim: “Niether!”
Where do you see nature vs nurture in my comment?

Overall people are getting smarter
“Idiots” tend to have smart kids
