If 1984 is an instruction manual, then Idiocracy is a documentary.
Geteca is the real instruction manual, the solution to Idiocacy.
I think 1984 was intended to be more of a warning than an instruction manual. However, looking at the world we are living in today, I think the social engineers realized that they could use it as an instruction manual. I wonder if Orwell was aware of this possibility.
I have it all wrong then. I thought 1984 was a documentary released in 2001/2002 and Idiocracy was a documentary released around 2016 :)
A2T: I appreciate that you may have been intending to call out people who unnecessarily and hypocritically correct other people's grammar on the internet (which I do myself), but If you're going to act so condescendingly towards both people while doing it, it would probably be in your best interest to learn the actual rules of the written English language. Topics you might want to look up include but are not limited to when to use capital letters (such as at the beginning of a sentence or when using proper names), the correct usage of quotation marks (not for emphasis; and when used to denote titles, generally only for shorter works), the correct usage of ellipses (which are made of three periods and no spaces), the correct use of articles ( "the title of the movie" not "the title of movie"), and, of course, spelling (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Spelling Police has split into 2 factions. War is upon us.

Tide Pod challenge is proof that we're heading in this direction.
The tide pod challenge was weeding out he stupid
@@ddsjgvk
Except it didn't because barely anyone died from it. The actual chemicals in the pods would only effect people who had existing health problems. That would be more weeding genetic dead ends out not stupidity given you can be perfectly health and still be dumb do to how our society takes too much care of dumbasses.
Like, we live in a world that someone with a peanut allergy can exist, survive, have kids and pass on their defective genes to a new generation that is more likely to have said allergy. We really did breed out survival of the fittest with civilization. Now pretty much any one can have kids which is part of what the beginning of the movie was talking about.
Hell of a jump from stating brawndo owning the government is socialism. If anything it's the end result of a monopoly, it's Corporatocracy. This isn't socialism, this is another government that his issues of it's own, another film that has this type of government is robocop. I also think we are heading in this direction. Real life examples include the Banana republics of the 1920's and 30's.
And the East Hindies Company(hilariously in my country they were called "SHTI" [Sh*tty]).
Yeah.
I'm not a socialist, but the only times I saw riddiculous monopolies form like that was under capitalism.
Monsanto apparently owns 80% of the United States farmland, and several of their lobbyists work in the USA government.
This is not the result of socialism, this is unregulated capitalism, in which the corporations can get so powerful that the govetnment has no choice but to be controlled by them.
tricky1992000 Who cares, wether it’s the market getting involved in the state or the state getting involved in the market it’s wrong. They need to be kept completely separate or you end up with this authoritarian shithole.
And yet when a business is allowed to gain so much market share in key industries as to become a virtual monopoly it becomes all but impossible to keep them separate. The free market can not prevent monopolies from forming and then using their leverage to force governments to help them further solidify power. @@jakewoods6721
It's not Corporatocracy, it's Idiocracy.
one of the greatest movies ever
"and their shares plummeted."
Sorry. It may be terrible capitalism, but it is still capitalism.
In fact, how has every game of Monopoly© ended for you? Lot's of competition? Everyone rich?
I believe the word that describes the system they have is fascism.
if there is no free market then it ceases being capitalism. In fact you can blame IP laws for giving corporations such power. Guess who enforces IP laws? That's right the state. The solution is simple, but people are too stupid to see it and want free shit
Several years ago, in my job as a water treatment engineer, I was sent to inspect and certify a building's pipework and water. I arrived on site and introduced myself to the site manager with "Hi, I've been sent to ascertain the state of the pipework here and test the water." This elicited no end of amusement from him, calling me 'Professor' for the rest of the day because I'd used a three syllable word to him...... Sad but true story. I've loved Idiocracy the movie for many years.
I'd rather have a professor fix my plumbing than a moron!
I worked on a labouring site when I was 15, and one of the wheel barrows couldn't be used cuz it had a little hole in it, so I put a cigarette nub end in it and the supervisor said "ahh u know what that's called don't ya?" I said "ingenui......" (he cut me off) "it's called USING YA NOGGIN'" lol suffice it to say, the wheel balloon was used from then on along with all the rest of the half working equipment
... Thinking... Flint, M.I.
Youz meen youz is here to chek hour wada? 😂
This movie wasn’t properly advertised because big corporations took offense to how the movie made them appear as global monopolies
Yea.......appear 👀
But Brawndo has what plants crave. It has electrolytes.
What *are* these electrolytes? Do you even know?
They're... what they use to make Brawndo!
But "why" do they use them to make Brawndo?
Because Brawndo's got electrolytes.
But what *ARE* electrolytes?!
It's....it's what plants crave!
Well I've never seen no plants grow out of toilet, so....

"water? like out the toilet?"
*Water* ? You mean like out tha toilet????
I ain't never seen no plants growin' outta no toilet!
"what's electrolytes"
"It's what plants crave"
That's pretty much what happened IRL, rarely do I see people drink water these days, it's mostly heavily marketed sugary drinks, caffeine, alcohol and other unhealthy garbage
@@TheJudge064 Electrolytes are quite literally salt. They are salting the earth.
@@sonicmastersword8080 I know, I'm quoting the movie.
I believe that Fox didn't push this movie due to the fear of backlash from corporations who are skewered in this film. I think they liked satire but that too many of the points were too close to home for comfort. I speculate that they would rather take a 20 million dollar hit over alienating potential corporate sponsors on future projects. Just my two cents.
I think they didn't want to open people's eyes.
You're exactly right. The Freemasons, who own all the BIG businesses, certainly don't want this revealed to their stupid fucking cattle customers.
That's a solid point Hitler kitty
@leebob86 re: "You're exactly right. The Freemasons, who own all the BIG businesses,"
LET ME GUESS, you watch Alex Jones?
That could have been part of it, but the fact that the film was a little too serious in context was a bit too unlikely to be successful financially as well.
"The world depicted in Idiocracy is obviously an extreme satirical vision, but..."
Is it, though?
Ironically the reviewer suffers from the same narrow mindedness taught in public schools. Specifically an inability to see that the system is corrupt and DELIBERATeLY designed to fail for obvious reasons if you can think outside of the public school/mainstream media box.
it was a warning not a blueprint
World? If you're talking about the US it's already a reality for at least a decade. Even more so now since president Camacho Trump got into office.
@Suffer No Fools If you are an uneducated moron, criminal and fraudulent idiot like he is.
Antaine Ó hÓgáin well after seeing a lot of of advocates on the left and right side of the political spectrum. Countries will eventually be run by celebrities. Since many people invest most of their time in social media and digital Magazines. No one really cares to have discussions about art and literature. When in reality music art today is just materialized by a corporation. Modern art is just scribbles that are plastered onto a canvas. Literature books might as well just be paperweight in today’s society. No one really talks formal English or Anglo English. Most english sentences today is simplified and substitute for slangs and phrases.
However I do have a theory on how idiocracy can be in reality. If you look at the people in idiocracy and then look at the rural small towns or low income neighborhoods in America. You have teen pregnancies, homicidal crimes, and theft.
The people in most of the small towns are also low in the education system and live off the governments welfare system such as social security. Even though most of them don’t invest their money wisely and don’t buy stocks. They tend to just drivel into mindless entertainment. Now look at the age demographic between 18-29 years old. Most of them are into hookups (could get pregnant), mindless entertainment (reality tv), social media (social engineering), and celebrities (Influencers). Meaning those adults eventually will tend to get dumbfounded by modern art and modern literature.
That they start to accept modern art and modern literature as their culture. No one cares for traditional art forms and traditional literature. Because no one invests in their time in traditionalism. However it will probably take 600 years for us to live under a government system run by corporations. “Remember fellow citizens Red Bull give planes wings” I could see dumb children being indoctrinated by that slogan.
Therefore those children will believe it. History books will be thrown away and will be substituted with iPads that have banners that says buy “red bull it gives you wings and it’s made up of Taurine”
Idiocracy is my favorite documentary!

Jackalope. We're living in this now, hell, it's 10 times worse!
Jackalope. Definitely, and California will be the first to fall, and it's already starting here in my home town in Florida, there's a huge homeless population of 5 or 600 people living in tents behind my local Walmart, You can't go in-and-out of there anymore, without being asked for money 3 or 4 times. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind helping somebody who really needs it, but when I see young, perfectly able bodied people stand around all day asking for money, It really irks me. The problem is they don't want help, they just want money, I could Literally hand one of them $10.000, come back the next day, and they would still be standing there begging!
Jackalope. It's not just refugees legal, illegal, or otherwise, it's Americans too, It's the coddled participation trophy generation that has no job skills, they've grown up, only to find out they're not as special or gifted as they once thought!
Jackalope. Oh I meant nothing offensive toward Millennials, i am only a few years short of being one myself, and i know quite a few, a lot of them are smart and hard working, but unfortunately not all of them are, and it's that small percentage that really makes the rest of them look bad, Standing around on street corners with dreadlocks in their hair, begging, throwing rocks at police, holding up signs that say refugees welcome, and other anti-American propaganda, oh, To answer your question, Cocoa Florida...
I actually found this movie scary.
I find it very true.
Just wait, it gets a lot worse for you guys
This movie wasn't prompted because the major companies in this movie took offense as to how they were being represented in the film
I think you're on to something. Right after this movie came out, the popular restaurant chain "Butt-Fuckers" went out of business in my city... :-(
Some ppl / companies have a challenge handling truth.

Over time, this films gets less amusing and more accurate. Depressing.
Still true
"For whatever reason, Fox decided not to heavily promote the movie". Maybe because it hit a little too close to home?
Ahaha...ya think...lol
Not close enough
Another inaccuracy in the movie is that it is set in the future.

I.Q isn’t everything in facts it’s a rather outdated and inaccurate measurement of human intelligence as it does not factor in certain other traits that signify intelligence, such as creativity, resourcefulness, practicality, etc. It only measures arbitrary academic intelligence to do with problem solving and negates the true value of a human being.
@@baldrickthedungspreader3107 What? Of course it cannot measure creativity, but intelligence is necessary for creativity to be useful, and IQ is the most accurate available predictor of intelligence which has been positively correlated not only with academic performance, but socioeconomic status, and negatively with criminality and fertility. If intelligence, the ability to acquire and utilize information, which has distinguished humanity from lower animals and allowed it dominion over the earth, sea, and sky, allowed it to erect great cities of metal and glass, to communicate instantaneously from two opposite ends of the Earth, and to plumb the stars, then what the hell gives humans worth?!?!?!?!
@@JohnCena-le1jj Indeed, people denying IQ exists even though it is one of the most accurate Psychometric tests that is available. Besides, what people are trying to measure is the g factor, IQ is one but many measurements of the g factor or known as general intelligence factor.

IT'S SPOOKY HOW MUCH THIS MOVIE GOT RIGHT
oooomg
Dave Cullen is an idiot who sees socialism in the film when it is the opposite. It's rather like turn-of-the-century 19/20th century corporation monopolies. Stocks in socialism? What the hell was he thinking? Does he think a truly socialist economy would even let the worth of a state-corporation to go down? The entire problem of state-controlled corporation is that they AREN'T allowed to fail and they languish.
@@CrabTastingMan Feel better, big boy?
@@CrabTastingMan The stock market is a government invention with the intention of selling government bonds, and they threatened rich people and companies with high taxes if they did not participate in it. Also, I suppose never heard of China's 'zombie companies'? These are corporations that are not allowed to fail naturally, but they also never turn in a profit. This results in an overall drain on the economy, because other companies cannot compete with one that gets free government money.
You act like the state can bend reality. It doesn't matter if they LET a state-corporation fail, it eventually WILL, specifically when the government itself fails.
Hilariously, the most successful example of socialism is...wait for it..NAZI (NATIONAL SOCIALIST) GERMANY. But make no mistake, people definitely DID die. They stole from the Jews for resources, and killed them to conserve said resources. But, it would have eventually failed regardless if they won the war or not.
Oh WOW, I didn’t even think of that... you’re right!

President Camacho is a very good leader though. He realizes they are in trouble and too stupid to fix it, so he finds the smartest person he can and gives him the power to actually fix things. When the plan causes an economic meltdown its not unreasonable to blame the guy that inadvertently caused it. But when the plan works he is strong enough to admit he was wrong and give Not Sure full credit. We should be so lucky to have a leader like Camacho.
Thankyou for that ringing endorsement. I took the place of a great leader, that's for sure
Really, Trump IS Camacho; a populist leader that does cede to his experts, especially Mattis, was in the WWE, seems really dumb, but is actually pretty effective at what he does. That being said, the cautionary aspect is missing because Trump is not the one causing the problems in America today; it's the Lying Left. If the Left would not have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I might be more inclined to criticize him more. Now, I have to back Trump simply because the Left is insane and underhanded.
break it down Camacho!
Criticise Trump when you think he's due for it and you might raise the quality of debate. Endless praise simply because he's not part of the group you hate more, is pretty dumb.
Trump constantly fires his staff. That isn't surrounding yourself with experts and trusting them to do their job.

It's ridiculous how you spinned off this movie as criticism against a socialist agenda. There is no evidence that the trashy family was supported by welfare, and that welfare made them be more prolific (r-selection). There is no evidence of welfare being an enabler to "idiocracy" anywhere in the movie as a matter of fact. What you actually see is an obvious criticism of the right agenda. It shows, for instance, how fox news makes a spectacle of politics, how politics are influenced by big corporations, and how there is a move toward anti-intellectualism. It's not by chance that Bush was the president when this movie came out.

Socialism is the fusion of corporations and government. This movie shows what would happen if everyone is guaranteed an income. That's Socialism. Capitalism provides opportunities, but in no way guarantees you anything.

R&M is way more nuanced than most people give it credit for. It has subtle moral quandaries and political arguments. It does this in the subtext though. It's not overtly pushing a message.
It can be immature at times too, but I think this is what makes it so popular, it appeals to a wide range of audience
that's because you have a very low IQ and don't understand rick and morty.

On the other hand, the movie showed that a single smart person can have a much greater impact than many stupid ones.

"Intelligence and human greatness emerge out of competition and as a result of overcoming some form of conflict and adversity."
So are we just going to ignore the centuries of examples of erudite scholars who contributed more to science and philosophy BECAUSE they were born into a privileged life and were thus encouraged to pursue higher education both as a profession and as an intellectually stimulating pursuit? You don't need competition and adversity to make people want to learn, you just need to teach them that learning can actually be fun and engaging.
Not so much 'fun and engaging' but rather....USEFUL. That is where the point of anti-intellectualism comes into play. People today can't survive 20 seconds without some form of technology, and yet intellectualism and education are not only ignored but often decried by populists. The smartest among us, the people that dedicate their lives to discovery or learning are often the least trusted. People fear what they don't understand, and we live in an increasingly complex world at the same time as a general shrinking away from education required to understand it. A great example is when Penn and Teller got 'anti-chemical activists' to sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide-- water. They lacked the basic scientific education to recognize H20 and more importantly- rather than spend the time being educated on science, choose to spend their time being 'educated' on anything that is simply anti-establishment. Science is hard, appeals to emotion are easy.
This is why people will claim doctors are corrupt for making good money, but then throw any amount of money at quack therapies that don't work- simply because it is anti-establishment. Whether or not something actually works or is even plausible is not the primary metric being used to judge. You see this now in politics where the new fashion is being totally unqualified for the position somehow became exactly the qualification that matters.
I guess given the choice between corruption and incompetence, people are more willing to forgive incompetence. Even though the end result is the same- bad for the people.
@@thesollylama130 among us

This movie is a crystal ball into our future. The only thing it got wrong is how long it will take, it is closer than shown.
It was true the day it was released. The future is here.
Its a comedy but I would love to see a serious version of this film but I don't think it will be made any time soon.
I think you misspelled "documentary".

We do, it's called 1984.
Maybe a dark comedy version. How do you make famine ironically funny? Unfortunately, I think only Monty Python could have pulled it off.
It's impressive that you somehow interpreted out of control, unrestrained capitalism, along with corporations seizing control of society as somehow being socialist in nature.
Because that's what that turns into at the end. Socialism.
Yeah its a clear show of crazy capitalism but look at the end result. Even the people in charge are dumb and aren't actually manipulative. They also want what's best and they think they are the best. It turned into socialism based on what he's explained at the end.

Don't be so hard on Joe. He's only average. I doubt even an intelligent person would be very likely to be able to save that society.
Brandon Schleifer too true. He has to be a little stupid himself in order to relate to stupid people.
If he was intelligent he would have blown his brains out. Fk that society let it crumble and go to hell.
Where do you ever hear about a welfare state in this movie ?
Its Brawndo. It has electrolyttttess.
But what are electrolytes?
Death Incarnate its what plants crave
Your whole argument is based on a premise not at all supported by the movie, that this was a welfare state. The US wasn't one when this film made. So great job using a faulty premise to build your entire argument upon. I guess that's why you dont actually use footage from the film to support your points, correct? The very existence of companies in the future contradicts your idea of a welfare state, since it's hyperconsumerism.. You should really realize the difference between fascism and socialism.
This movie has what plants crave. It has electrolytes!
Though in all seriousness, President Cammacho is actually a pretty good commentary on leadership. He's not afraid to delegate to experts, and can get the idiots who surround him to follow through force of personality. His only flaw is backing down when Secretary Not Sure's plan didn't work out right away.
People shit on Trump for more or less the same reasons. Turns out, he's not that bad of a president.
Also featured in pro wrestling with Vince McMahon.
The Reaction And fucked at least one porn star.
Did the media really think fucking a porn star would make me think less of Trump? They keep talking about how awesome JFK is. Pick one or the other.
Dude JFK was literally fucking a Russian spy, both before and after she was outed as a spy. Look it up it's history. Wonder what the cult of JFK's 'Camelot' would be saying if Trump did the same? Probably something about treason and firing squads.
I like money.
I like money too. We should hang out
Ohh yeahh mister Krab
Wow you like money and sex. You're freaking me out
*SHUT UP IM BATING*
do you like the movie "ouch my balls"?
"I like money!"
"Go away, I'm bate'n!"
"Imma base your ass with my fist!"
Great documentary.
I’d argue this movie was funnier back then because it seemed so absurd. But then I noticed what college kids these days are “protesting,” and I started wondering if perhaps I should arm myself.
Seemed real to me the day it came out.
Arm yourself to the teeth.
Why do you want to arm yourself? To kill college students? Americans are funny man. Always gotta escalate things.
@@omarsabir1210 The only use for arming yourself is to attack others? I'm glad you live in a place where guns are illegal (I assume this from your wording). Sounds like you have the wrong mindset to own them responsibly.
Oh sweetie, it's the hicks who breed like rabbits who are the ones who destroy society.
You're almost idiotically wrong by aligning the movie's themes with socialism. Karl Marx and Max Weber consistently railed against commodification, hyper-consumerism and overproduction. They were also advocates of liberal education (as opposed to more corporate, job-oriented education.) This would be a capitalist world.
I'd love to see a more modern reboot of this movie based where they take into account the extrapolation of other current cultural factors like PC culture and such.
Just read 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and the works of PKD
Eh, Demolition Man is already the extrapolation of European and Democrat PC.
You know the Hollywood lefties would totally botch the message and somehow make bigger government and socialism the savior. The original is already bad enough, if not blatantly obvious, for it's anti-consumerism message that we are supposed to take as anti free market capitalism.
So, just watching the News then?
Also if you leave a child in a dog kennel to be raised by dogs, the child will act like a dog. It's not genetics/nature, rather nurture.

There are some epigenetic personality factors, but those could be medically changed. Idiocracy didn't take 500 years, because the idea that intelligence was genetic, was wrong. It only took a few generations of a PR campain to dumb down the US.
Check out "The Century of the Self" for that.
PS: MGTOWk you are straight out of Idiocracy. I have a consumer. I take him for walks and play fetch with him. I myself, am a citizen.
Idiocracy is a world of consumers, and the stupidity you hold dear.
lol I think you misunderstood a good chunk of the movie- the movie isn't about socialism or a wellfare state. It is about how if we are misinformed we can be taken advantage of- in the case of the movie the population is only informed by brawndo propaganda and thus the weakened government is then taken over by it. If you watch the movie it is obvious that the dystopia of idiocracy is hardly even close to socialism because the protaganist is arrested because he couldn't pay his medical bill. There is also a scene where a mother cannot pay for food at a kiosk and the police show up to arrest her. This whole review feels like a bit of projection by you with your hatred of socialism.
BTW I am not a socialist
Mr.Meeseeks yea I picked up on his over focusing on welfare states. If he believes that social programs will create a space of non-competition that will spiral into idocracys fantasy world, he himself lives in a fantasy world.
I couldn't even watch it to the end, this guy seen obsessed with socialism.
Chaves Junior I don't blame you- I lost roughly 20% of my brain cells in the process
Brawndo has what plants crave.
+James Goldberg Yes. Giving money to people for doing nothing will most certainly rather incentivize them to work harder, because that's what they're doing right now, too. Excellent observation, comrade! #downwithcapitalism
(Of course there are liberties the movie will take, but the fact that welfare states undermine competition and reward bad behavior remains.)
"Jazz hands" "100 genders" etc. We are well on our way.
Safe spaces, toxic masculinity, believe women the list goes on. All the lefty utopian dreams
Injecting disinfectant and windmill cancer
please explain your reasoning behind why 100 genders is more comprehensible to someone with a lower IQ than just 2?
also what did jazz hands ever do to you
@@sad_doggo2504 Sorry. I'm not going to waste my time trying to explain why society itself is moving itself into Idiocracy when clapping has become offensive and when two distinct and different genders morphs into over 100. Bye bye
@@endersdragon34 Like ALL Leftists, you are generating lies to defend your evil. "Injecting disinfectant?" Only a true low IQ monster would so distort a quote.
But Dave, Brawndos got what plants crave!!!
Yeah! it's got ＥＬＥＣＴＲＯＬＩＴＥＳ
Idiocracy gave me depression and anxiety because I can actually see civilization going in that direction.
You haven’t seen nothing yet ✌🏻
I swear Mike Judge is a clairvoyant
He got the idea from a book written in 1952 by C. M. Kornbluth called "The Marching Morons".
Oh come on you are gonna blame mindless consumerism on socialism too and not on capitalism? I liked much of this video but you should show more intellectual honestly and not push everything to fit your narrow political opinion which you make money on btw which makes it doubly dishonest and pandering to your core demographic instead of speaking truth.
socialism is cancer. capitalism is the greatest system in human history
Your social commentary lacks real world understanding. The exact opposite is true. The less resources people have the more people breed. Remember, people used to have large families, but thanks to the industrial revolution and higher wages, people actually have less children. People used to have more children because it was a lottery. You not only needed more hands on the farm you also didn't know how many children you would lose to various diseases. Look at under developed nations across the globe. They have multiple children and they barely have enough to eat. They barely have any resources. If what you said was true that more resources would mean more children then that "High IQ" couple would have breed like rabbits, but they haven't. High IQ couples and Wealthy couples don't have that many kids. In fact even the so called welfare low IQ people you attempted to demonize don't even have that many kids. Most families regardless of IQ and wealth have 2 to 3 offspring. So your entire synopsis fails when you look at the real world. People breed more with less resources and breed less with more resources.
I could go on with the economic portion but lets keep this simple. The economics would be pages of bullshit i just don't have the time to deal with.
teddybruscie Yeah, I don't even know where to begin with the idiotic claims he made to try to fit this movie to his political beliefs. Conservatives are completely blind to any real world evidence. European countries are the ones with the most welfare programs and they're much more educated than us here in the US and they're having fewer and fewer children. Bill Gates actually wants to improve the living conditions of impoverished people as a means to reduce population growth because people who have secure futures and access to education have fewer children. The rampant capitalism in the movie was blatantly obvious, yet somehow he blames socialism just because he doesn't like socialism?
What the movie was saying and I think both of you (Dave Cullen and teddybruscie) are missing is that : This is what is happening right now. It's a fact and if it keeps going this way then this could be our future.
@Kooky katt I suggest you read the dumb dumb leftist comment again and think about it, but this time dont assume its stupid, dont try to find something bad or failing about it. Just read it without emotional weight in either way.
Read it to understand the words themselves, and not the words as an attack against your own worldview.
Treat it as a learning experience.
Dont do it for me, or anyone else but yourself.
Intellectual curiosity, just like you said.
Dont redelegate it as a mere emotional comment. Think beyond it. Think in decades, not in moments. Think in attitudes, as well as tangible things. Think not in mere moment of now, but think like chess: several steps ahead.
It can take your skill several steps ahead too.
@Kooky katt Your statement was incomplete: you said that welfare recipients breed more, but you didnt say compared to what.
Now that could be seen just as a lie and propapanda, where you claim that welfare recipients breed more than poor people who dont even get welfare and are poorer than those who do, but then nefariously, using a lie of omission, make it seem like you are actually comparing welfare recipients and middle/upper classes.
A smart, very smart con as you gain factual support, and then turn it into a nonfactual claim, which it actually was from the beginning, to disprove the factual claim itself!
Its quite brilliant, i admit, while still being complete bullshit. Have you considered working as a spindoctor?
The message isn't that poor people breed more. It's that stupid people do.
Great video and analysis :)
I really enjoyed this documentary.
This movie will forever be relatable at any time or any place!!
This future society is one in which the distinction between capitalist and socialist no longer exists. They are (initially) different routes to the same dehumanising result. Political distinctions would be irrelevant in such a society, and politics would be all but impossible.
ISTM that either:
(1) society is stimulated by competition, as a result of which a minority rise & gain, but the majority slide downwards, and lose, so that there are a few Haves & many Have-nots, all of which leads to chronic class hatred & social instability;
or
(2) society stagnates, excellence and competition are discouraged, intelligence and wealth-production decrease, and society becomes like that in Idiocracy.
Either way, society dies.
Substitute Brawndo with Google.
The wrong-think mutilator
I gave a lot of thought to the plausibility of the premise of this movie. Even going as far as to do some rudimentary simulations of population dynamics over time and IQ probability distributions in the population. And for any reasonable parameters, I found the IQ never dropped beyond a certain point. Because you see, IQ 140 people may breed less, i.e. have have a breeding disadvantage relative to 100s and 60s, and the survival disadvantage of being a 60 is made less by science, but it doesn't go away entirely, and it seems that there's no breeding advantage of 60 over 100, even if there is over 140. In other words, the 60s and 100s have an advantage over the 140s, but the 60s don't really have an advantage over the 100s, and that's what kills the IQ descent. So essentially the worst that could happen is you could end up with a civilization without any geniuses, and the average IQ would drop to a certain level and no further. Not a civilization that gets dumber without limit. Honestly I think HG Wells's The Time Machine with the eloi and morlocks is more believable, with 2 separate populations. The ordinary dolts, they're going to be the ancestors of the eloi, while Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, they're going to spawn the morlocks. Just think about it, it's perfect. Zuckerberg OWNS your fucking soul, internet sheep, admit it. You will eat whatever he feeds you. And eventually, his descendants will eat yours. Could that be the endpoint of the ever widening income inequality? Possibly. More likely than idiocracy. Besides, despite Mike Judge's best attempts, the people of the future in Idiocracy actually weren't all that dumb. They're wiser than WE are, in one fundamental way, after all. WHAT did they IMMEDIATELY do with the man "Not Sure" as soon as they identified him as the smartest man on Earth? They put him in charge of everything! WE'RE not that smart, right? I know one thing, if I ever got a job as a Costco greeter, I would unenthusiastically say "Welcome to costco, I love you" to everyone at the door.
If this were a film based on socialism, it wouldn't have corporations running the government, that would instead be a government ran by the people. What this film shows is unregulated capitalism, where it shows that, due to lack of regulations, the value of the dollar bill became worthless, companies can do as they please without government interference, healthcare has become a joke, and everyone is working under a large name corporation.
That was a brilliant movie. Its both funny and sad as i really see it as prophetic.
This is exactly what post scarcity society looks like, not Star Trek.
Look no further than ancient Rome or the bread riots that lead up the French Revolution. Lack of education and poverty abounded during those points of history.
And a perfect excuse for never implementing universal basic income.
No, a true post scarcity society is one where everyone gets everything they need to survive and a lot of good shit on top of it. Of course, someone is going to have to foot the bill and get the resources. That's why we need to automate everything and get a lot of robot slaves.

"The stupefied population are satiated with hyper consumerism, mindless entertainment, and a culture that pursues instant gratification." and that's the cause of the welfare state how? Sounds more like rampant capitalism to me. I think you're hammering the square peg of the message in this film into the round hole of your personal beliefs here Dave, as with most of your content.
We call this, 'working backwards from his conclusion.' It's desperately trying to force his narrative somewhere it doesn't fit. It's.. kinda pathetic tbh.
duke1845 Capitalism is a system that allows for freedom, if people want to be obsessed with mindless entertainment they can be, because the customers, each and every individual, determine the market. In a Welfare system where there’s no consequences, this type of behaviour will be greatly boosted due to a culture of dependency and the childish need to feel good at all times rather than working hard to get what you want. Sure, capitalism may have contributed to it by allow the production of mindless entertainment and consumer products, but it’s the cancerous welfare state that has pushed and encouraged the behaviour.
Both systems suck, because they are human systems. There is no solution.
@@jakewoods6721 "Capitalism is a system that allows for freedom, if people want to be obsessed with mindless entertainment they can be, because the customers, each and every individual, determine the market".
That's correct, and it's what makes capitalism dangerous. Human beings are not inherently logical or moral. They're not very good judges about what they actually need in life and often times spend their money on things that no one needs at all, or things that are damaging to society or to the planet. Capitalism creates a culture of self-righteous consumers where everyone is correct, because they are the customer, and where the seemingly benign decisions made by billions of people (people who have been psychologically coddled by an endless stream of entertainment products and other diversions from reality) combine to form an ever-growing tsunami of unmitigated ecological destruction and consumption.
Well nobody knows that water is a human need/right and nessersary for agriculture for centuries after gaterade managed to pass bullshit in the 2200s. It's cannon in the film.
Great movie...great review! I've been telling my friends for some years now that idiocracy is taking place...right as we speak.
This movie is a CLASSIC!
This future is more posible than Demolition man.
If you vote Biden in 2020 we will be this movie!
In 2019 Idiocracy has evolved from comedy to documentary status.
And now in 2020 we are reaching the end of the documentary.
It sounds a lot like:
Hard times create K-selection.
K-selection creates good times.
Good times creates r-selection.
r-selection creates hard times.
Almost. Some groups of humans react to hard times by having lots of kids to increase the chances of some of them reaching adulthood.
"Some groups of humans"
@NPC 19867 If you want to live in a lawless society where armed corporations are allowed to lie, murder, and steal from you through sheer organization and armament at a scale you can never defend yourself from, go ahead. Adam Smith wanted governments to constantly shackle corporations so they will be FORCED to work hard and compete instead of using scale of economy to crush start ups and smaller shops. Go live in a Brazilian gangland favela or something where gang lords' decrees are the law and they have no obligation to provide protection or food for the people there.
The democracies of the world worked hard to create a system where people had at least some degree of power to affect who becomes leader. It's not perfect but you'd be a fool to think governments are unnecessary altogether. Don't throw the baby out with the water just because you see a few problems.
@NPC 19867 ".. if there was a theoretical natural "monopoly", what would be stopping some entrepreneurs from joining the phone market and destroying the monopoly?"
If you have a monopoly on something like cellphones, or phone services, you probably have enough money to buy out any emerging competitors. Or buy out their suppliers. My point is you'd have a lot of money, like a hell of a lot, and you can do a hell of a lot with a hell of a lot of money. Especially if there's no regulation.
@NPC 19867 The thing is, if you hold a complete global monopoly on cellphones, if you produce, sell and earn a profit on every single cellphone every single person in the world buys.. Then the amount of money that would overwrite ANY *No* from a newly established competitor would be literal pocket change to you.
And if the wannabe competitor is dead set on breaking this monopoly, then you buy the people who deliver the components they build their cellphones from. Or their distribution network. Or maybe you make a deal with phone service providers to not work with competing phones. I mean no regulations, right? Your money is SO much better than theirs.. And what good is a cellphone with no signal?
Hell, ultimately you'd probably want to buy up all these (compared to you) small corporations competing in the phone service providing business, and turn it into your own telecommunications monopoly to go with your phones, right?
In order to successfully enter the market as a competitor against that, I would have to own everything involved in the research and development, production, assembly, packaging, transport, and selling of cellphones.. As well as a global telecommunications net with competitive coverage and speeds. And everything I just listed that already exists is owned by the monopoly holders, so I have to create it from scratch. That's one HELL of an initial investment just to not get tripped up. And after all that I still have to actually compete on quality, prices and service as well.
The thing I'm trying to get through to you is, the sheer scale of money we're talking about when discussing global monopolies of expensive goods that sell in droves.. And the intensity of desire to protect such a thing once you have it.. And how powerful money is when presented in such quantities, how much you can actually do with it.. Add in your claim of no regulations and we're 2/3rds of the way to a cyberpunk dystopia with megacorporations deciding the law already.
It's just so much money man, that's all I'm saying. So much money you can't imagine. So much money that what you would usually consider insane amounts of money is literal pocket change in comparison.
9:30 Funnily enough, this original food pyramid was also the result of corporate lobbying & ofuscation of scientific research. If you still want a “food shape” as your nutritional model, perhaps a food pentagon would be more apt, with vegetables compromising the longest row in the pentagon & stuff like sweets & alcohol on top whilst labeled “only for special occasions, rarely be consumed.”
CAMACHO-NOT SURE 2020
As funny as the movie is, its kinda scary too
I'm sure that when writing the script, after getting "inspired", Mike and company must have been ROTF, and asking the occasional: "Do you think this will EVER HAPPEN?"
"NAW, never in a million years!"
I don't think this movie is a criticism of the welfare state, although it can be read as such. I'm pretty sure that if birth rates in countries without a welfare state are higher than countries with a welfare state. Compare Sweden with India for example.
The bushwacker's family tree is genious for itself, containing multiple brandon's and kaylee's and destiny's... Too real for my sense of humor
All your blather about an "anti-competitive, socialist economy" -- WTF does it have to do the movie? Your ideology warps your interpretation badly and most of what you say is unanchored in and unrelated to anything depicted.
The scary thing is that the average IQ globally has been declining for more than 50 years now.
Jack Sussmilch The average IQ is always 100 by definition.
Primalxbeast doesn’t mean it can’t go up or down. It’s corrected to 100.
