This is where Idiocracy comes from, it was pretty heavily adapted, but might account for any difference in undertones.
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/51233/51233-h/51233-h.htm
The original has the guy they resurrected enact a genocide on the 99% of humanity who'd been tainted by dumb genes.
And I mean I'm glad Idiocracy didn't end that way, but it's weird that the original accepts the premise of nazi eugenics, but their only issue seems to be the way it was enacted.
