If you toss the eugenics, all thats left is an obvious spite against poor people. Because the "idiots" in the movie are just common caricatures of poor people

That's an interesting perspective.

In the "nature vs nurture" debate, I don't think I've heard anyone so emphatically proclaim: "Niether!"

Where do you see nature vs nurture in my comment?

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

The very first line. You are asserting that if you throw away a genetic argument (which in every single post I've made, you'll see that I am encouraging everyone to do) that "all that is left" is hating poor people. This dichotomy that you introduced leaves no third option of behaviors being transferred via concious or unconscious emulation of parental figures.
