Watch the episode and re-read what I wrote.
The author created a distopic world. Everyone understands it is distopic, and so the author is telling you "THIS IS BAD". Dystopias always work as cautionary tales. This dystopia is so ridiculous I can only assume the author is too literal, and their worries for the future are :
people* should have as many children as they want because it's Good(TM);
not having children is selfish akchually;
[this is the only one I share completely] the state should never interfere with reproductive rights of people.
Now,
* Weird how the people being persecuted for having children are white, makes me think the author worries about the old "white people not reproducing enough". In fact, please tell me if there was any brown character cuz I can't remember any.
Also, I can't separate the idea of the state shooting toddlers in the face with the old "tHe gOvErNmEnT iS kIlliNg bAbiEs" anti-abortion warcry.
So, adding these points, I can only assume the author is a boomer from Utah whose children don't want to have 7 children each as they did.
But surely I'm jumping to conclusions, and the author is just bad at writing and trying to come up with a distopic world they did the "what if the future, but smiling is illegal" bit
