    Fallen into several arguments in Lemmy about exactly that. People give it way too much credence to what is functionally a eugenicist’s nightmare. I have no hard feelings at Mike Judge or even the movie really, but it’s fiction, not a warning from the future. Honestly, people need to stop treating fiction as documentary evidence in general. At best it’s interesting thought experiments, not something one should base their world view on.
