The average chucklefuck has no idea about anything.
The 'average chucklefuck' at least knows the difference between a man and a woman, which cannot be said of the rich scumbags you want to have control over the polity.
The vote should be earned through personal sacrifice, heinlein style. The only country to successfully practice something resembling a democratic process and retain liberty was the united states, and we were NEVER meant to have universal suffrage - there were strict qualifications for the right to vote, originally.
No, that is retarded. It would mean that Bezos and Zuckerberg have a vote, and a coal miner doesn't.
They were imperfect restrictions, but the founders knew how moronic of an idea universal suffrage and direct democracy was.
The funny thing is that you think that universal suffrage actually makes a difference. It doesn't. The elites have control regardless.
I said personal sacrifice, Heinlein style. This translates to dangerous civil service, not wealth. That is explicitly the kind of thing that people like bezos and the other self obsessed types avoid at all costs. It can't be bought, it can't be passed down and it REQUIRES a risk of death.
The movie was produced by a moron who outright hated the book, to the point that they didn't read past the second chapter, to the point that he claimed the book was about fascism. It was meant to be a parody of the book, but failed at it.
It's not a bad movie, but it does not in any way serve as an adequate replacement for the book. You will not get the intended message through the movie.

Read starship troopers.
I had no idea what that meant. It's definitely better than wealth.
In the middle Roman Republic, serving in an office with imperium required 10 years of military service. Not bad, is it?
Is the movie any good?

Good to know. I'll skip the movie.
