imbecilic moron sounds a loooot like the kind of shit I would have said in middle school to sound edgy and smart

    It turns out that some people never mature mentally beyond that point, but continue to get older each year nonetheless.

    Until recently that sort of behaviour would have been quite a barrier to employment, but these days it's pretty much a prerequisite.

    #idiocracy was a documentary

    doesn't even make sense. In 1910s psychiatry, "idiot" meant 0-2 years, "imbecile" 2-7, and "moron" 7-12 in terms of "adults with x mental age" - they were degrees of mental disability. Obviously now defunct, archaic, depreciated - but they're calling the protestors "5 year old 12 year olds!"

    wow, good one.
