Are we living in the age of stupid? The era of the idiot? The answer of course is yes, with examples of monstrous moronicism everywhere – from climate deniers to the “plandemic” crowd who believe Covid-19 was cooked up in Bill Gates’ basement.
On the other hand, human beings have always been illogical creatures. A better question is whether we are, as a species, becoming dumberer. If this is already the era of the idiot, what comes next?
An “Idiocracy”, according to film-maker Mike Judge. The Beavis and Butt-head, King of the Hill and Silicon Valley creator’s dystopian 2006 comedy (which he directed and co-wrote with Ethan Cohen) arrived with its own terminology to help us prepare for the upcoming reality TV special that we may call The Collapse of Reality Itself.

Suggesting that morons rather than nerds will inherit the earth, and that the results will be catastrophic, the film begins with a context-setting intro so real it hurts.
Judge cuts between an intelligent adult couple discussing why they won’t be having children right now (“not with the market the way it is”) and a ... less intelligent couple breeding like rabbits (“I thought youse was on the pill or some shit?”).
Observing that “evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence”, the narrator explains that “with no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most – and left the intelligent to become an endangered species”.

Yep. Marxists are ALWAYS projecting.
It's all Liberal Projection™
Harry Enfield in the UK nailed a lot of stuff back in the day. Couldn’t do that now.
And NEVER forget...”Jazz Club”.
“Nice “
The movie Idiocracy reminds me of “They Live” in that it was designed to denigrate the Right but seems to apply more to the Left.
“Are we living in the age of stupid?” Well, yeah, duh! bruce jenner running around in a dress saying he’s a woman, “post-modernism”, the notion that the 2020 election was fair, the notion that it’s a good thing to have millions of unemployable people (who don’t even speak our language) streaming across our border (bringing diseases) and going straight onto welfare, that Christianity is bad, but a religion that wants to cut your head off is good...
Morons think covid is a virus. And governments acted correctly
Stopped reading right there. Guess I should have stopped at "The Guardian"
Great movie. Should have gotten academy award in documentary.
Wow
I would lump in those who believe that COVID isn't even real. Flame away!
I hope that the poor lady had easy access to a shower afterwards.

COVID is real for sure...But there’s a long line of patents going back over a decade that show it ain’t “novel” either.
Also since it has now been established that 80% of people have some natural immunity, further proof that it ain’t “novel - never seen before”.
...especially AFTER THEY caused the problem the way government always does.
Marxists and government go together like peas and carrots as Forrest Gump would say.
Idiocracy was not prophetic. It was satire. What we are seeing now is far more insidious and dangerous. In the film people were just dopey goofballs having a good time. What we have now is 1984. A top down government that controls every aspect of life using misery and hatred as their preferred tools of control.
