Feel like switching to something lighter than the news? Watch Idiocracy (hopefully rewatch) and try to guess how much is yet to come.
I rewatched Idiocracy last fall. It’s much less enjoyable than watching it as a teen in the late 2000s because its so real now.
It was a really bad movie when it came out. It really needed the real life examples in order to stitch it all together.
Kinda like how WWII docus aren't as interesting, amirite?
Depends on what you like. I'm not really into WWII docus, though I fully acknowledge the necessity to know about it.
I tend to prefer fantasy (including science fantasy) type stuff, with or without major antagonists, and I think a major part of that is I can see real life tragedies every day. I dislike rape in storytelling as well.
Now that's my personal desires, but it doesn't mean I think people who do like real life drama type stuff are weird or anything. There are probably benefits they feel from it.
I also have no desire for bad or downer endings. Bittersweet I can like and be fine with, and sure, some happy endings are too "sweet" or unrealistic, bur I still prefer those ro "everyone dies and it was ultimately pointless" endings.
I laughed so much i cried when watching Idiocracy. Its just that now, we have Trump acting way worse than the characters in the movie, so Im kind of not laughing anymore at where things are going.
Its some large psy-ops where people are supposed to feel like the world is so insane and there is nothing they can do. But outside of this "social" media, there are a lot of decent, intelligent people still around who doesnt buy into all the bullshit.
Unfortunately a lot of young people will believe this is normal, since they dont know how it was before.
Truth, every word, and I feel ya. It's one of the salient reasons we've gotta be kinder to each other: we're just crabs in the bucket to the ruling class, and the gloved hand comes for us all without bias. Stand together, my carcinous kin!
Absolutely. So many people dont get this. Stay safe friend.
Now, to let our cousin-in-arms "451F" know. Get the band back together.🤘🏼
