The basic premise that intelligence is purely driven by genes and that only dumb people will be left is practically hateful.
Given the current demographics related to birth rates, calling idiocracy a documentary is blatantly racist and classist.
Ironically, low intelligence people calling reality racist just serves to prove my point.
Worldwide, white people are at the bottom, excepting China due to the one child policy. Even in China, minority groups in rural locations were allowed more than one.
It is the steady decline of IQ, moral decay, and increasing shallowness of experience and atomization of society.
All of which is clearly more severe than when the movie was released.
None of which makes any implicit commentary on race, no matter what mechanism actually brought about above stated societal decline.
The decay of civilization in idiocracy was directly and exclusively due to two things:
- intelligence is genetic
- smart people bred themselves out of the gene pool
I have literally heard people be chastised when they tell others they chose not to have kids, because have you seen idiocracy?
The basic premise of the movie is so fundamentally flawed it is beyond offensive.
If you find our current understanding of reality offensive, that sounds like wonderful motivation to do a study of your own.
It must be sad to have so little sense of humor you get offended at the movie that features president commacho
Many of us hold the opposite opinion.
