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.

    Oh for fucks sake. Idiocracy is a movie about Eugenics. It’s a fascist idea wrapped in a “comedy” movie.

      i mean, yes it definitely is positive about eugenics, but looking at mike judge’s other works i’m not sure it was… on purpose? like, the guy has a super diverse set of creations with social commentary as a through-line, usually mocking authority and conservative views. king of the hill, office space, beavis and butthead, extract… he swings wide.
