Yeah. That is a fundamentally eugenicist idea.
You repeatedly claim that it's a satire. What is the target and the purpose of that satire?
No, that's not what eugenicist theory means.
Eugenics starts with the statement that left to its' own, self-selecting devices, humanity is in danger of undesirable traits self-selecting in such a way that humanity might/will degenerate into something worse. Therefore, intervention is supposedly needed. That was the starting point of eugenic theories. It doesn't need any action taken, to be a eugenicist theory.
Claiming that eugenics starts at someone actively changing breeding patterns is like claiming that theoretical physics isn't physics.
Well, if you think something wrong, I guess that's a you problem.
You're again describing an eugenicist thought.
