    Eugenics has always been a popular idea, all you have to do is call it something else.

    In internet culture, the movie Idiocracy (2006) is extremely popular and the most common sentiment is that it’s coming true. It’s a cute move, but it’s central premise is Eugenics: the idea that if humans are allowed to breed naturally, it’ll lead to societal collapse. There are so many online people who think that movie represents how evolution works. It’s scary.
