Idiocracy people are actually smarter than trumpists. Trumpists would deny that watering crops works and actively fight against it.

All other things aside, that's some damn fine penmanship.

Honestly, this is worse than Idiocracy. Sure they're idiots, but at least they mean well. What's going on right now? Nothing but greed.

What a good movie, thanks for reminding me.

The studio needs to add a "Now a documentary!" splash to the front and rerelease it.

Ah! if they could read, and if they had watched the movie, and if they understood what the movie was about, they'd be pissed!

A lot of people struggle to differentiate fantasy from reality.

Idocracy posited a world without racism where the leaders were willing to use objective metrics to put the smartest people in charge...(1/?)
Todeswind
... and a prison system that was designed to actually identify personal skills to provider job placement. Anyone could talk ... (2/?)

... to the president and offer constructive input and reasonably expect him to listen and be willing to learn. Hell... (3/?)
Todeswind
... a lot of that movie was basically utopian in comparison to our situation. Dumb people who aspire be smart? I wish this was idiocracy.
Wasnbo
On the one hand: Idiocracy was used as part of a snarky headline to say "ERMAHGERD MODERN SOCIETY BAD BECAUSE REASONS" ever since it (1/2)

came out. On the other hand, it's 2021, and holy fucking shit.

The idiocracy president knew his limitations sand read looking for the smartest man on Earth to solve them.

It's not a documentary, intelligence is not genetic, and thank god for that.
CubwardOHulihan
I think it was more brought on by cultural changes. Showing intelligence was considered "fag-ish". Then it's moron kids learn moronic /

Traits from their parents. I know the intro makes it look a little genetic but ancient humans were as smart as us they just didn't have the/
CubwardOHulihan
Knowledge we do now. If showing knowledge is shunned it will be lost over time. I think anyway.
manulofdoom
That's a reasonable fanon explanation. But it was presented like evolution in the movie.
CubwardOHulihan
Kinda but it's more like the fall of civilization. Like we still can't recreate Roman concrete because the information wasnt passed down.
manulofdoom
It obviously is. But any noticeable change would take millions of years, not just a few centuries.
MarcelMichelsen
Don't worry if anyone can make it genetic it's americans

Of course it is?

At least president camacho was willing to listen to people that were thought to be intelligent and then when proven wrong, kill them.

I kept thinking how president Camacho was actually a better president than Trump because...
AmericanOmar
He actually gave the smartest person in the world a chance to make some decisions that actually made a difference.

1984 was double good.

Did you know 1984 *is not* banned in China? Wonder why....
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
And Brazil was also supposed to be a dystopian fantasy movie, not shelved with the other documentaries.
MacallanNeat
TBH it’s sort of a weird hybrid mix of 1984 and Brave New World at the same time

Episode 3 of season 1 was scarier than any horror movie I’ve seen.

Everyone talks about Big Brother, but the most terrifying part of 1984 is when Winston is like “didn’t we just say the exact opposite” /1
RegularSizedRudy
of this just yesterday?! Am I the only one who notices this?!?” I feel that way anytime right hypocrisy comes to light. /2

Doublethink, If i recall correctly.

That’s the acceptance of it. Idk what they’d call the actual statements (it’s not doublespeak).
