    I don’t remember genetics being mentioned as the reason in the movie. How do you know it isn’t about something like social inheritance?

      It is literally the opening sequence. Well educated people focusing on their careers and having less children, whilst uneducated, unemployed people breed like rats. It’s not even subtle, it has infographics. Surprised you missed it. Love the film, have issues with the premise.

        Why could that not be social inheritance? I saw the intro before the last comment…

        Again, I don’t hear anything about genetics. It seems like you are the one who believe that stupid is bred.

      my brother in christ have you even watched the fucking movie? it doesn’t even try to pretend it’s not about the “wrong people” having too many kids, it has scenes explicitly dedicated to showing that. whether they intended it that way or not, that’s the movie that got made.
