Idiocracy is sort of like the Left's version of the Great Replacement Theory. And the underlying premise doesn't work for the same reason that the Great Replacement Theory doesn't work.
That being said, Idiocracy's predictions have been scarily prescient. People are making dumber and dumber decisions. But it's not because of dumb people having more children than smart people. It's more due to economic inequality, parents failing to teach their children to think for themselves, people being exposed to more and smarter propaganda, and perhaps things like childhood malnutrition.
The core concept of it, effectively it is eugenics, IQ etc...
The real part of it is, it's not eugenics, it's education that's hitting the spiral. Poorly educated people, keep getting convinced to make education less accessible and worse, leading to more poorly educated people, that vote harder on it, ad infinium.
Bottom line, religion and power structures have found education as their target to limit, and have been for decades.
I do agree the opening of idiocracy really presented some extreme "eugenics" vibes to it. Which also is kind of weird because the end of if basically presented the opposite. Where not sure in his mediocre knowledge starts pushing for education improvements, improving the culture etc... Not sure's conclusion at the end was basically that everyone is ignorant not dumb, and society could gradually be fixed by actually trying.
It’s pretty insane that Trump’s being allowed to do this
The grand jury indicted based on a massive lie which will fall apart in court.
As is expected when only one side of the story is allowed to be told. It's also why grand juries don't really matter. Any headline referring to one is generally click bait, since alot of people don't know theyr basically just a pretrial checkpoint
Fuck this eugenics spouting movie that blames individual weakness over systemic evil.
It's not eugenics, it's evolution. Eugenics is intentional, the intelligent population in the movie dies off due to unplanned, natural ecological factors. Also, it's a comedy, just chill out.
Intelligence is not a genetic trait. The claim that it is one is a myth used to perpetuate eugenics. It comes from the archaic claim that "black people are inherently less intelligent than white people" because "white people are genetically superior".
It has nothing to do with evolution.
Also, the flimsy excuse "it's just a joke" is simply that: an excuse.
Shouldn't Trump be thanking Comey for going outside procedure right before an election just to say, "Clinton sure is sus" for no reason?
