This is not the first time i’ve seen sentiments similar to this around here. Just know this is an extremely elitist and racist viewpoint, and is one of the core arguments in favor of eugenics.
Fair enough, apologies, didn’t mean to imply you were advocating for the viewpoint of others i have seen making similar statements, that we need to “do something about it”, which is generally rooted in white privilege and the belief that declining birth rates are leading to the collapse of civilization.
A eugenist pov would defend selecting human individuals based on their genetic makeup, something people have no control over and is effectively a prejudice. Idiocracy shows the degeneracy of society based on societal factors such as disinformation, wealth, etc. and is an accurate prediction of western society’s current state (specifically US, but is also valid in part for US-aligned nationstates such as France). My guess as a layman is there is some inverse statistical correlation between political knowledge and babymaking, but as we know, correlation isn’t causation, and if there is anyone to blame, it’s the bourgeoisie. Cut some heads in time for spring, they’ll regrow better

I don’t see what’s elitist or racist about it. It’s just an observation of how things are. I’m not advocating for anything here.
