I think he never got it. I don't think he deserves credit for delivering a warning. He was lampooning existing trends. IOW his explanation makes sense. To say it's backpedaling is to imply there was some real statement the first time.
There's a kind of satire where you intend to correct people, and then there's a kind where you're just drinking while you watch it all burn. I assign Idiocracy to the latter category, which robs it of some meaning. On a second viewing.
idiocracy was funny. But not that funny
the most insufferable part of idiocracy is listening to other people reference Idiocracy as if the fact that “they get the joke” means that they’re the “smart ones” when they’re actually the normal fags
I think I agree with you because I think it was a movie directed at normie fags. it's easy enough to appreciate. I liked the movie; I like the memes. Claiming it's a documentary or something is just dumb; it's not really good at explaining dysgenics at all.
It frames dysgenics as too many white people breeding.
I meant that. I dunno if I said it, but that's what I meant.
Yeah he definitely failed to frame the issue as the browning of America -- which it is. Not particularly based.
The other part of that framing that is incorrect -- A framing that I see a lot -- is the idea that the lowest IQ people are the ones you dislike the most. In this case, rednecks. I have no evidence that rednecks have a lower IQ than anyone else. If you're gonna focus on a population, focus on one that's supported by facts.
We are in agreement.
When somebody is an insufferable Idiocracy fan tell them it pales in comparison to Demolition Man as a dystopian movie.
The people that worship Idiocracy hate Demolition Man because it's all about them; fascist totalitarianism, verbal morality standards, pathetic weak men, joy-joy feelings, 47-year-old virgins singing I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener.
Interesting. I’ll try that.
Demolition man was awesome. Lol
