A newly unveiled statue of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk was vandalized at the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.
The statue was found with red spray-paint. A nearby poster memorial in front of the statue was vandalized with red paint as well.
We are heading towards idiocracy, don’t we?
No. Idiocracy was funny.
To be honest, Idiocracy was an optimistic look into our future. At the very least they were actually trying to fix their problems and willing to listen (at least somewhat) to the smartest person in the world to do it.
Not to mention, they were willing to change their minds when presented with contradictory evidence.
There’s an implicit criticism in Idiocracy of “Smart” people. Specifically, of institutionalized and bureaucratized forms of tracking and grading intelligence.
The movie kicks off with a bunch of ostensibly smart people doing a bunch of stupid shit - putting careers ahead of family, turning the military into a status symbol, prioritizing asthetics (curing baldness) over real human health. It’s implied that the human response to declining intelligence is to build a supercomputer that outsources all our thinking from us.
If we’re living in anything, it’s the prequel to Idiocracy.
Well Trump is no less than a comedian
He’s much less than a comedian.
Oh boy, he is the most mocked guy ever. His accent and hand movements are the most comedic among all the PMs, seconding Obama.
Chief Clown and Distracter.
