    Normally I hate to take media like this too seriously, but if it’s going to be seen as a legitimate social commentary it’s right to point out its flaws. This comment is spot on. Blaming genetics for the decline of civilization is exactly eugenics.

      The film doesn’t mention genetics at all. The redneck family in the intro is greedy and inattentive and lets their children run wild. They’re socially stupid, not genetically.
