saying modern life is so comfortable that intelligence is no longer an evolutionary advantage isn’t pro-eugenics, it’s the fucking truth.
As far as anti-democracy, I am actually an Arkansas inbred, and my vote against magatardism goes straight in the trash thanks to the electoral college.
Intelligence is still very much an evolutionary advantage. Idocracy isn’t science and getting your ideas about evolution from a mark judge film is not a sign of intelligence.
Fertility goes down as wealth increases because developed industrial societies don’t use child labor and infant mortality has gone way down. It’s not because intelligence is a disadvantage.
My only disagreement is where population crises come from. These are cultural and economic issues, generally, not necessary consequences of wealth building.
Not sure why you’re downvoted. These are absolutely the reasons. Unfortunately in some developed nations people are worked to death and buried under debt so they decide not to have kids, or are simply not left with a choice at all. Also, well educated societies can also see the world heading in a bad direction, economically, environmentally, and/or politically and decide to be responsible and not being a child into such a world. Unfortunately, the latter means we leave the world to an ever increasing population of idiots.
One of many things that the right, left, and center can all agree on is (pro) eugenics.
Idiocracy, and this song, are so explicitly eugenicist and yet people who consider themselves “enlightened liberals”, or even “leftists”, choose not to see them as such.
They choose not to because to accept that obvious truth would mean that they have some things they need to work out too. That it’s not just MAGA supporters that are upholding white supremacy and ableism.
In the past 5 years I’ve come to terms with a lot of abhorrent things I used to believe, and a lot of harm that I’ve unknowingly caused in the past.
Learn better; Do better.
If you haven’t done hard introspection that has made you uncomfortable, especially if you’re an abled white person, then you’re probably not as enlightened of a person as you see yourself being.
oh fun, a bunch of anti-democracy and pro-eugenics sentiments. cool.
“Pro-eugenics?”

You’re just asserting something without evidence too.
You know, generally as wealth increases birth rate decreases. Just look at the population crises coming up around the developed world.

This is the exact opposite of why people are having fewer kids in areas with population crises.
People generally have fewer kids in developed nations than in developing nations because all of their children are likely to survive.
Population crises arise due to social and economic factors.

His point seems to have gone over your head.
That is the argument, yes
I’m not sure that you even disagree with me here.

Otherwise yeah you’re spot on

I legitimately want to hear your reasoning for that statement.
It literally complains about majority rule and says that society is decaying because more intelligent people are being outbred by their inferiors.

Not sure why you’re pointing this at me talking about enlightened beings etc.
Thanks!
