Is Darwin natural selection eugenic? Was the rise of humans from chimps an eugenic like event?
- IAmBroom 7mo agoHumans didn't "rise" from chimps, and natural selection doesn't promote "rising".
- marxisttemp 7mo agoNo, because that’s natural selection, not artificial selection by an authoritarian government. Hope this helps!
- dist-epoch 7mo agoThere was no artificial selection by a government in this movie.
- marxisttemp 7mo agoThe movie obviously doesn’t depict a eugenics program, but it makes the core argument of eugenics: if human breeding is left uncontrolled it will lead to “stupid” people breeding more.
- wiseowise 7mo agoWhich authoritarian government, lmao.
- marxisttemp 7mo agoNazi Germany and America, for two, lmao
- wiseowise 7mo agoAmerica didn’t mandate eugenics in the movie and what does this even have to do with Nazies?

- marxisttemp 7mo ago> America didn’t mandate eugenics in the movie Correct! It mandated eugenics in real life, in the early 20th century. I didn't say that the movie shows eugenics happening. I said "the film itself implies that the idiocracy is due to stupid people breeding more, a classic tenet of Nazism and eugenics alike." Work on your reading comprehension.
