Donald Trump put up a video of President Barack Obama being arrested by the FBI in the Oval Office as you can see in the screen grab. Trump is exceedingly happy about it, of course. The video starts with Obama and a number of Democrats all saying "No...
Terry Crews’ character in Idiocracy was non-satirically a better President at this point.
Long before this point
Yea, at least he cared about the crops or something
FAR better! Like, not even ironically better, all the way better.
well, he wasn’t a pedophile at least.
It is a low bar, but it is a bar
At least he gave a shit.
Jordan Peele did it better.
That movie promotes eugenics, discrimination and ultimately genocide
I wouldn’t use it as a comparison. It is made by a Nazi.
It’s not being serious. I understand intelligence isn’t a breeding stat, and smart people having kids isn’t going to produce a smart society, if it would only talk about reduced education and cultural trends as the cause of mass idiocy, but that’s really not what the film is about. It’s not actually advocating for eugenics.
What ever you want to tell yourself
What the fuck are you talking about?
The movie is a comedy, not a serious attempt to diagnose the world’s or America’s problems, but the emphasis on ‘‘only stupid people are breeding’’ in the beginning of the film is one of the causes of the dystopia, that is eugenics, which is a disproven racist part of academia that had it’s part in the nazi movement. So it’s a dangerous idea to promote, but that’s not what the comedy is about. It’s just a gag.
Eugenics is the practice of improving the gene pool through some pretty heinous shitty actions. Keyword there, “improve”. It’s in the definition. You completely missed the point of the opening sequence, which is meant to be hilarious, where nature itself is favoring stupid people because humans are actively preserving the stupid people. If anything it’s mocking Darwinism because they even reattach the moron’s nutsack after a stupid accident. How in the ever living fuck did you guys come up with eugenics and racism for this movie??? Your shit’s all retarded and you sound like a troll.
Well, man, that’s because it is clearly presenting people with higher education and very white in appearance and culture as the people who should be breeding, and people with worse education and cultural identification and behavior that’s more common with not so white people in the US as those that are doing too much breeding. In reality education level has more to do with your parents zipcode when you were born rather than your DNA, and cultural behavior isn’t any part of human DNA or a thing you breed for. Sorry about all your feelings, you seem to have missed that I was defending the film for being a comedy and that these opening bits are jokes not a serious attempt at understanding or addressing problems.
I’m going back to bed. GET OFF MY LAWN!
The people with the infinite family tree were all white and the stupid people in the future were mostly white too. Not want to neglect your statements about zipcode and whereabouts of your upbringing are more important than your DNA in how your IQ is. But the movie isn’t making that statement either, IIRC. It’s just saying that the people who could give their kids the “best” start in life, because they already would now how to not raise their kids in self-inflicted immaturity, aren’t procreating. But I don’t think that this is factual. It’s just that we plebs simply procreate more.
Ok not a Mike Judge fan, clearly. But I’m not even sure we are watching the same movie with that kind of review.
Maybe that future is a utopia to this person.
based on his other works? absolutely not.
