Okay, I agree with you and I'm not sure why you're saying I'm wrong. That movie definitely has a eugenics bent and that's why I'm saying people shouldn't put too much stock in it.

Yeah it's in the opening thesis of the movie:

uneducated people kept having more kids and learned people kept putting it off

Not saying I agree with the premise at all, and I'm putting it much more lightly than the movie does.

Because the movie does not hint at eugenetics as solution to the crisis, it's a hymn against stupidity and a cry to better educate the masses. First of all about sexual education and the danger of unprotected sex and secondly about politics and civic duties. I mean, I really don't see how one could interpret the message of the movie as "do eugenetics", that's all.

I think the people seeing it as pro-eugenics are latching onto the “stupid person makes stupid babies” part as being the reason for the Idiocracy. Basically they think the movie is arguing “IQ is 100% nature and 0% nurture”

But IMO the intro pretty clearly showed that the main factor in the degradation of society is that the low IQ family were raising too many kids in a chaotic environment with no actual parenting.
