I don't think that the movie was proposing that the issue or solution is eugenics based. I would argue that educated people are probably able provide a better education, and that uneducated parents are less likely to be able to provide their children with a quality education.

I don't specifically remember Idiocracy really going into depth about "passing good genes".

Yes, because of their criminal problems. Not because of their language, clothing style, food preferences, etc. But because of the enormous percentage of criminal involvement.

That is the same claim that "racist" in the US make all the time... Simply assuming that a person engages in criminal activity because of their ethnicity is bigotry.

Are you by chance not a USA citizen? I have some stereotypes about US citizens too.

US citizen is not an ethnic group you moron.

Yes, we hate gipsies. But not because of their race (they don't even have a separate race), but because of some nuances of their culture that involve a lot of criminal.

Lol, if you want to split hairs like that..... race itself is not an actual classification system and isn't real in any meaningful way. What it represents is a bias against certain ethnic groups based off of an ever changing list of generalities.

What the general public interprets as racism is unfounded bigotry against individuals or groups of people for simple belongings to an ethnic group. Having negative preconceived notions against an ethnic minority like the Romani people is racism, and attempting to escape the accusation of racism by engaging in semantics is just pathetic.

tell that bullshit to another racist like you.

Lol, I'm a bi-racial ethnic minority living in the most conservative state in America.....You are a white European that just accused an entire ethnic group of being criminals.....and I'm the racist?

You don't get a pass on your privilege because you live in Europe....an entire continent that enriched itself by engaging in colonialism self validated by racial theory. Go kick rocks bigot.

Well, it is a rather multilayered phrase. And sarcasm is present there too. And yes, I really think that most of the US citizens are racists.

Most white people are racist.....including the majority of Europeans. Just ask your average European about the Romani people and you'll get to hear some "interesting" opinions.

(I suppose this is exactly the case: the "woke" US citizen mumbling some racist shit while being sure that he is being super anti-racist).

Pointing out that international media has biases when it comes to ethnicity is not racist. Claiming that racism is not a problem in Europe, or that European news is devoid of racial biases is racist.

Always glad to know .....and I'm guessing here, that a white dude from one of the most privileged places in the world still think of themselves as the authority when it comes to defining racism.... It's reassuring that some things will never change.

Berlin would disagree with you.

What? Are you referring to Berlin prior to the Nazi takeover? There were leftist and fascist having all out battles in the streets of Berlin for over a decade prior to the takeover. Which eventually happened because the centerist of the weimar republic decided not to fight back.

Waco should be all the history you need to know about to know what actually happens in the scenario you're encouraging.

You mean the event that led the federal government to be afraid of policing radical right winged politics for decades? The event that is often quoted as responsible to the free spread of right winged nationalism across America.....leading to the election of an ultra conservative president we tolerate today?

You have no idea what you are talking about, everything you said was wrong.

You really should educate yourself before trying to tell others what to think. Try reading the death of democracy by Benjamin Hett. It goes over the parralelles between the fall of weimar republic and our current situation.

I think this depends on how you define "more emotional". Is expressing more aspects of emotion "more emotional" than the constantly pissed off dad screaming at the umpire at a little league game?

Imo women are better at expressing their emotions and communicating them to others, but men are just as emotional.

I never claimed anyone is a modern day Malcom X. What I claimed is that the state cannot achieve a monopoly on violence. Like any monopoly, without competition or regulation there is no reason to self moderate.

We need to relearn how to organize a large number of peaceful protesters to have self constraint. But we also need to relearn how a small organized and isolated group of people who can compete with state sponsored aggression can reshape the political landscape.
