It makes me really sad to realize Mike Judge was only wrong about one thing in Idiocracy… that it would take 400 years for us to get there…because here we are, not even 20 years later.

    The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and when they found a guy smarter than everyone else the people in power stepped aside and put him in charge of tackling their most pressing issues.

    The idiots IRL think they’re geniuses, and when they encounter someone smarter than themselves, who’s more qualified than they are to do their job, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.

    The future depicted in Idiocracy is a fucking paradise compared to where we’re headed.
