      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.

    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.
