Fully devolving into “random idiot’s opinion is better than expert analysis.”

    This is insulting. Also, being forced to listen to Kid Rock speak on any topic is cruel and unusual punishment.

    Emperor Caligula planned to make his horse a consul. He also mocked the Praetorian guard, for example giving them watchwords which were intentionally insulting. It didn't work out well for him.

    In Idiocracy they actually valued an intelligent person and wanted him to lead them. We're living through the prequel, we even have "ow, my balls" (jackass)

    They have reach the idiocracy years ago.

    Right now they are far beyond this line, and the humankind don't have invented the word to describe this non existence of intelligence.

    Also, Idiocracy is Baby's First Eugenics, with a large side dish of classist bullshit.

    Seriously, everyone who likes that movie needs to go and watch it again without the rose tinted glasses. It's a movie about how "intelligence" (a basically unquantifiable concept) is 100% genetic, and if we let the stupid people (portrayed in the movie using visual signifiers of the working class rather than, say, wealthy idiots like the Winklevoss Twins) breed too much civilization will collapse. This is literally some Ayn Rand "the stupid poors will be helpless without smart billionaires to guide them" nonsense. It's Atlas Shrugged for stoned teenagers.

    Do you want to know who was really, really into this idea that you needed to force more "smart" humans to have babies, for the good of civilization? Jeffery Epstein.

    Another big fan? Elon Musk. That's why he has, like, seventeen kids, all sex selected to be male. He genuinely thinks he's improving the gene pool with his progeny.

    This is more an indictment of your high ranking officers than of the Trump administration.

    Look at those cowardly, servile lapdogs sitting there allowing themselves to be addressed in the Pentagon by Kid Rock.

    It really should. Nothing military should be allowed in space. Ideally nothing corporate either, while I'm dreaming.

    I'm curious what advice Mr. Kid Rock had for the admirals and generals.

    How things have changed. My childhood best friend was my pastor's son and I remember him sneakily buying Kid Rock's "Devil Without A Cause" while on a church trip and hiding it because such music was considered demonic. Now Kid Rock is held up by the same people who populated my childhood church as an exemplar of conservative values or whatever? FOH

    From https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kid-rock-address-pentagon/

    The image is real and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared it on social media. However, the caption claiming Kid Rock addressed the Strait of Hormuz was fabricated, originating in an X post from a user who has shared fictional and humorous content.

    Robert "Kid Rock" Ritchie participated in multiple troop touches with service members and filmed videos for Memorial Day, America's 250th birthday, and for his Freedom 250 tour. The visit provided an opportunity for Kid Rock to thank service members […] and recognize their continued sacrifice.

    And I can't imagine those Generals would attend that talk, except to suck up to Trump/Hegseth.

    So still looks really pathetic and bad. But Kid Rock probably didn't give them military advice about Hormuz.

    I haven't seen idiocracy in a while, but do they ever talk about the world as a whole in that movie. Because it would be kind of funny if the world was thriving, while america just does idiocracy

    2/3rds of eligible voters in America allowed it.

    If you include the non-voters, yes. If you're only counting trump voters, it's barely 1/3 of eligible voters.

    Don't get me wrong, non-voters definitely share the blame. But let's not give credence to this idea that a majority of voters voted for trump.

    The more time goes on, the more I'm convinced the Mayans were right and the world really did end in 2012. Everything since has been a slow decent into absurdism.
