Yes because nobody was smart enough to horde all power and money and deny anybody else from changing things.
We don’t know enough of the world of Idiocracy to draw such conclusions. We don’t know who owns that giant store, the TV stations or the appartment buildings.
And yet they pick the smartest guy around to solve the problem.
Really? When was tge last time our leaders were like “We have a problem, let’s listen to what the actually smart people have to say and act on that”?
For real tho, is this movie any good?
No, it’s not. While there are some funny moments (especially the allusions to different movies, but many are to german productions), most of its humor is derived from over the top stereotypes about gays (think Cam and the gay community from Modern Family but turned to eleven). That was funny to pre teen me when the movie first came out, but lost a lot ever since.
It’s cringe more than cheese.
Who’s that old man in the bottom right with the gun?
A Manta driving saxon warrior.
The best storytellers draw from what they know, they say.
Where doeth thy bat chilleth?
It’s just fucking ugly. It stands out, does not sit right with the rest of the costumes, breaks immersion. Some stuff is just dumb. Like a medieval knight with a visor that only covers half the face.
If you need to believe such things to feel better about something, fine. I’m not gonna discourse on such levels of stupidity. Bye.
This is not supposed to be a blame game or a pissing contest. That both Europe and the US have a track record of xenophobia and racism is exactly my point.
And in the US it wasn’t? Set aside how non-whites were treated and exploited as cheap labor, how were asians treated during and after WWII, Korea, Vietnam? How are latin americans treated? How are middle eastern people treated since 9/11?
Don’t make the mistake believing this is new. It’s just getting turned up to eleven.
Nah, not just to the US. We do have problems with emboldened neonazis in Europe, too. While not to the extend you might experience in the US, I wouldn’t want to be black or southern/eastern mediterranean here either.
The beard looks AI-like-wonky.
Fair enough
Have a better 2026 than 2025!
Thanks, you too.
Water is just boring, gives me nothing, which leads to me not drinking and ending up dehydrated.
Honestly, I don’t want to go into details. I didn’t create and post this meme to get help or tips (partly because my situation is very complex and I don’t want to explain it extensively), I just did because the comparison came to my mind and I wanted to share it. Also coping a little.
Hypothetically, yes. Practically, it’s really hard to get.
I’m not. Trying to get away from sugary drinks for the I don’t know how manyth time, because water is boring and diet drinks usually taste like cancer (they got better though).
ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (for those who don’t know)) means that a lot of food triggers negative reactions. It is a spectrum though, reactions vary, triggers vary, etc. For me, a lot of vegetables, fruits etc make me not want to eat them, but unhealthy foods like fries, nuggets, pasta, burgers, etc are absolutely fine.
No kinkshaming pls.
