Brother it's not "promoting" anything, it's a fucking satirical comedy
what do you think satire means? are you a cinemasins fan or something? those sentences do not follow each other.
"Satirical comedies" are famous for not having a political message. /s
The political message is certainly not "eugenics is good", it's "corporatocracy is bad". The movie doesn't "promote" eugenics.
That bit about the corporation is just a relatively minor plot point. The corporation didn't make the people stupid. Even the CEO didn't know what he was doing (which is a horrible satire of a corporation, too).
The whole premise of the movie, the whole conflict and the thing the title is referencing is: Stupid people outbreed smart people.
That's a eugenicist viewpoint. It just is.
too bad they didn't call the movie corporatocracy then, isn't it. almost like that wasn't the main point for them.
even if corporate power was the central point, which it isn't because it's a liberal movie and not a leftist one, it ties the corporate power to people being stupid (due to dysgenics and not the education system btw) rather than a very deliberate and systematic takeover by people who very well knew what they were doing. because that's how it is in real life, but the movie completely blunders that.
