I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

If you are trying to make some sarcastic commentary on the excesses of capitalism, it will be monetized with full sincerity.

god what, that's insanely gross. i'm inclined to believe it entirely out of disgust for cage

the one good thing he did was that he learned that people think he's a hack when he was on the stand in court so his meltdown was part of the court record lmao

Idiocracy is explicit eugenicist propaganda. Like that's the movie. That's both what the text of the movie says and the popular reception of the movie. If you want to defend eugenics as not fashy then go ahead.

I think it's easy to skip the premise of Idiocracy in the first 2 mins and still think the rest of the movie has some hilarious observations about how hosed up things can get.

Idiocracy has a terrible premise and I can't remember anything else about it. It's classist propaganda depicting a poor person having multiple kids with different partners as detrimental to ~the human race~ even though as we understand it, the intelligence so prized by Mr. Judge is based on the ability to maintain higher numbers of social relationships. This is only demonstrated by the "stupid" person while the "smart" couple fails to achieve the relationship success to achieve even open relationship level of polyamory. Furthermore,
