yep. And I am so scared now. How can you teach people that wont trust or learn? They voted against their own interest. And now we all have to deal with the consequences. It's just so awful.
" How can you teach people that wont trust " TRUST has to be earned. Gaslighting the populous to win just the next election brought us into this dilemma (not only in the USA). Just teach - not preach - and don't censor information, and give the voter the ability to make an informed decision. But this of course also restricts the party implementing this in it's way to sway the voter.
Never any accountability from the left. Get crushed in the election…..”it’s because the conservatives suck so bad they beat us”….lol😂 Maybe you should be asking “wow….maybe we are wrong here???”
Idiocracy is sharp and funny, but it parallels the reactionary tendencies to the right that centrists and the center left possess and which have become a blind-side this election: "the country collapses because poor people breed too much" is specifically eugenics, ahistorical, and Elon Musk's entire obsession. I think it's equally important to study -why- we enjoy this movie so much when it's explicitly priming liberals to think like fascists. And what truths is it papering over/concealing in its narrative. For example, Americans are as smart and better-educated as we have ever been. This is despite some paradoxes that eugenicists didn't anticipate: Poor people are driving population growth, but we're removing lead from the air and water, white college attainment has been stuck at 30-31% since the 60's but minority college attainment is catching up to it. The people who were made to be unable to think through systemic inequality were given more opportunities. The people who were previously allowed to choose have run out of economic opportunities. The reality is that both the groups with the highest education AND the lowest incomes have traditionally voted further to the left but this movie equates intelligence to wealth in its opening scene. But... education has historically had little disparity in voting patterns for minorities and the phenomenon of lower-educated people voting to the right is a white phenomenon, not universal. Several of the characters treated as less intelligent and therefore producing more reactionary children in the opening sequence are non-white, which doesn't reflect even the truth of the argument Mike Judge is making. Furthermore, and the most important part of all of this, Mike Judge makes several very clear systemic critiques that aren't based on eugenics: scientists aren't less intelligent, they're owned by corporations; the world is defouled and cored out by corporations, corporations own the planet. Corporations, it is hinted, are the real people who made society stupid. Then he does more eugenics at the end. Because this movie is fundamentally about eugenics and not the real systemic corruption Mike Judge can clearly see but can't coherently explain.
Also, note, poor people don't have power. Princeton pointed out in 2014 that the top 10% of wealth owners dictate policy. This peaked in a year with genocide, record cop-killings, record poverty, and record deportations -- under Democrats, who ran on more of this. 10 million Democrats stayed home. Trump got the same number of votes and won by 3 million votes. We didn't get dumber. Smart people, who aren't all rich, lost control of both parties to rich people, who don't have to be smart.
@@MrBazBake the "priming liberals to think like fascists" is the type of anti-historical, anti-intellectualism pipeline that convinces black folk that they should vote Republican rather than to attempt to move the Party back to its social policy roots.
There’s a reason why the intelligent and educated lean more left. Symbols are for the simple minded. Wave a flag, a cross, a slogan, and the ignorant flock to you.
Sorry, but all roads lead back to the Civil Rights Movement, and this country's reaction to it. But this country has not invested much in eradicating racism because it thinks it has solved the "Negro problem." One thing is for damn sure, this country still doesn't understand its "Negroes."
I just had this gut feeling that we're actually heading towards Idiocracy. Thank you for presenting this analysis although you lost some followers this way.
Wow! So much butt hurt in the comments (and such poor grammar, to boot). @popculturescientist keep doing what you do! This American will still support you, as is my right. Not everyone wanted the what we got but now we have to deal with it.
I notice you respond to many of the people who criticise you for making this video. I think that attempting to debate with people who can not think critically is not worth the energy. They think that they 'won' the election. Did the germans who voted for a certain moustache also 'win' in the 1930's? Greetings from Australia
They had better options in their election: no majority vote, they could have given him a strong minority vote (again) to drive the other parties to fulfill their demands; they could have split between Moustache and Communist party to push only for working class improvements while canceling out other program points; they could have reduced his influence in his second election. This are all things US voter's can't do.
One more new sub here! Thank you for this thoughtful analysis. I’m sorry I have never come across your channel before, but I’m looking forward to watching your back catalog of videos! Also, I agree that it’s breathtaking to see how many people came here to literally prove your point in the comments. 2024 really is the year when irony died 😂
New sub here, too. I couldn't even finish watching this film because it just was a bit too real. I'm an American living abroad and have no plans to return. I'm just glad I had my son here and not there.
You have to come to the realization that both parties have the same bosses. They both work for private international bankers. They both would never call for a national bank without usury.
No no no no you're doing a great thing even know what I do care about education and I want people to be educated and be critical this is a teachable moment and also for us people to learn from this movie and also from you we should learn and acknowledge not only history even the bad parts even the good parts we should acknowledge and respect experts, teachers people who know better than us of us acting like we're better than them because whatever and I'm happy for my parents to still have value that education comes first for everything that we need to Value more about education because it's very important for not just the generation of today but the generation before us.
Because the video is about the parallels between the movie and trumps leadership style. So I used the movie poster and added trump in a spot that I thought looked good.
As a human being living in a democratic world I am smart enough to know that politics is in every part of life and so I make sure that I am informed on how it affects me. How exactly do you want people to 'stick to science' when the people in power don't believe in science? Do you not see how silly you sound.
Oh you liberals with your “we went to college so naturally we are smarter than you uneducated conservatives”. Lol. Even in losing every aspect of the election you still can’t look in the mirror and take accountability.
I love Idiocracy and this is a good take on the problem. But linking it to the recent election has one fault: it assumes that the democrats had a better and believable program and didn't use the same strategy, so the voter had to make some stupid mistake to vote the we he or she did. (Yes, third parties, but then majority election scheme.) Are you really surprised of the growing distrust in experts after the Covid scandal? This problem could have been solved in a bipartisan way by the government a year ago, and the democrats could have profited of this more than the republicans. Media: sure, parties are running ads like every other product. And with the Dems subsidizing EV, pushing certain vaccines, pumping money to the military-industrial complex, etc., they couldn't run a believable anti-lobby, anti-cooperate election campaign; especially after Bides crackdown on strikes. So, while you are correct, the voter couldn't use this to help in his choice. Relatability: Again, correct, but the very same problem: Harris tried the same vector with her identity as a black or indian or native woman, and so anyone thinking about how false Trumps "one of you" image is, noticed the same by Harris. Biden, Obama and many more: born into a elite and detached from the problems of the common people (and their promoter were even worse: Superstar endorsements and Working Woman Goldberg, etc.) The problem runs deeper than just this election and the factions of the electorate would need a decade or two to establish and run something like the workers' education associations in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th century. Then, maybe, people would compare programs and their impact on themselves and vote for the Steins and Wests of their times.
@@popculturescientist I posted two responses to my original comment, and they're gone now. I also posted another response yesterday along with this comment, and it has also disappeared.
Wow! You have just called the majority of United States citizens idiots. We are akin to the population of Idiocracy. I don't appreciate political content, especially when it's demeaning even though you said you're not going after anyone. You're going after us the majority of the population of the United States. You continue this and I will have. No choice but find my entertainment elsewhere. This is unacceptable. Your viewpoint is in the minority. And in my opinion incorrect
There's quite a lot to go oever here so let's go point by point. 1. I did not call anyone idiots. I showed the parallels in leadership style as portrayed in a movie, that happens to be called Idiocracy. If you had paid attention to the points in the video you would have picked up that I spoke about leadership style, popularity, consumerisim, science denial and the fact that the president was a relaity tv star. 2. It doesn't really matter that you don't 'appreciate political content' because this was not a video made for your consumption alone. If you found this demaining then that means that you saw the similarities which would suggest you should do some self reflection to understand why these political tactics worked on you. 3. I did not 'go after' anyone. My page is about science, science fiction and popular culture. I spoke about a science fiction movie and showed the similarities to current society especially the parts about denying science and information from experts. 4. 'you continue this and I will...' are you my mother? why do you think I answer to you? You seem to be under the impression that I cater my content to you specifically. I do not. I make videos about what I want I want to talk about. You are welcome to leave or to stay, but you are not in charge of what I do. 5. It is perfectly acceptable to speak about a movie and popular culture. 6. Are you under the impression that people are not allowed individual thought or opinion? Do you think that people are just supposed to agree with the 'majority', isn't that what you call 'sheep'? Doesn't your constitution protect the right to free expression? Also, I am not American. I come from a free country that believes in the same rights and freedoms I belive in. So I'm actually in the majority, when it comes to the world.
@popculturescientist thank you for your response. Most of your response is akin to a Kamala Harris speech. Lots of words. Little of which has to do with the insults you placed on the United States citizens. Insulting a political party by going after the political official and his agenda is by extension going after the voters that elected him to office. Claiming some pretense to pop culture movie fandom is a thinly veiled insult to all the individuals who put their faith in a political leader.
It's not pretense. My page is about science fiction and how it relates to our lives. He is a convicted felon, sexual predator and science denier. He wants A national abortion ban, to take away trans rights, remove marriage equality. None of that is opinion or insult. It is factual information. And it is also factual that being against human rights is not a 'political opinion' it is immoral. If you align with those views then feel free to be offended. If you don't then ask yourself why he's so important to you.
@@popculturescientist and there it is the chant from the liberal echo Chambers. if the majority of Americans believe that he wouldn't have been elected but the lawfair carried out by the left and all the false reporting from the liberal press made those ideas you think are facts moot points. The law fair from the left was so bad, It drove prominent Democrats to run alongside Trump. I listened to a podcast called unbiased. I think you could use a little bit of that.
Wow, this sort of intellectual elitism definitely isn’t why Trump won in a landslide. Never would have guessed from the purple hair that you’d have these views.
And this is exactly what’s wrong. I didn’t vote for Trump-I voted for Harris-because despite the left’s exclusionary propaganda and censorship of ideas, I still believe is true, classic liberalism. What to talk about whining? Look in the mirror, or better yet, just watch this cliche video again.
And there was no slight majority about it. It was a political slaughter. No one is buying what you’re selling. Get that through your head or keep losing elections.
Wait... Trump winning by 1% is a landslide? Trump has won the 44th largest electoral victory in history. 44 out of 60. Biden was a landslide. Trump is just a normal election. 😂
Wow, you really deleted my responses here where I clarified that a) I didn’t vote for Trump, I voted for Harris, and that b) the radical left CENSORS EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM. Incredible.
I talk about science fiction. As a genre it is inherently political. I will always be on the side of the oppressed and the hope for an equal and fair future for all people. This is what science fiction is about. Life is political when peoples rights are on the line and when governments control our futures. You cannot ask humans to ignore politics because it makes you uncomfortable
Stick to science. The better (winning) team is in charge now and big irreversible changes are ahead. You’d best make peace with it. Kick and scream all you want.
Uhm, this video was about science and science fiction. Political parties aren't sports teams. I don't need to make peace with anything. I truly hope you get everything they promised to do! Could you point to the part where I 'kicked and screamed'?
You're proud of your dimwittery - fine. But as seen in the days since 5 Nov, Trump is headstrong on nominating pro-ignorance (e.g., RJKjr.) and that will pay off the worst kinds of dividends.

th-cam.com/video/cLgRC8MNBco/w-d-xo.html This TH-cam will explain a lot about why Trump won and Harris lost. In short basic needs of the people are not being met. Things like putting food on the table & safety are basic needs as explained in the video.
In a country with a remarkable economy according to several experts and economists, and lower crime rates than in TRUMPS FIRST ADMINISTRATION. Laughable and enervating. You just confirmed all the points she was making.
@@dias040282 Lower crime rates now vs 4 years prior. That is a gravely mistaken statement. Believe what you want to believe. I'll tell you why I voted for Trump, and the reasons are... The economy with record inflation. Immigration, especially illegal immigration that also ties in with crime rates going way up. The Lefts view on the whole trans issue on not knowing what a woman is doesn't help them much if you wanna talk about science. Trump can be compared to a silly movie from 2006, but you could do the same thing with the Left. Look at California for example, it is bankrupt, millions of homeless people, crime off the charts, trans surgery for people in prison paid for by the taxpayers and no ID required to vote. Harris lost for a lot of good reasons, but will Trump do a good job and clean the country up? That remains to be seen.
@@dias040282 the price of gasoline is over $5 a gallon in California. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from about the economy in the United States but inflation is over 20% from the last year. Things like the trans issue or women's rights on abortion definitely take a second seat against issues like the economy and illegal immigration when voting for a president for pragmatic working Americans.
@@Skevic222 the average cost of gas in California is 4.6-4.8 USD and California has higher gas prices than the rest of the US. California is not the complete US. The average price of gas in the whole US is 3.89 USD per gallon of premium. Down from last week and down from a year ago.
@@Skevic222 inflation rate in September 2024 was 2.4%, inflation rate in September 2023 was 3.7% (according to the Consumer Price Index). How is that a 20% increase?

My favorite thing about this movie is that conservatives think that it's a portrayal of a left-wing world as they yell MAGA.
The irony is breathtaking
It is a portrayal of the left….
I want to point out that this is beat for beat, a part of facism. That doesn't mean that every political system with these characteristics is facist, but every facist political system will include these characteristics.
The rest of the points to qualify as facism include; blood and soil rhetoric, foundation myth, traditionalism, machismo, rejection of modernity, degeneracy talk, militarism, revenge fantasies, authoritarianism, and a worship of beauty.
Modern day Trumpism and MAGA qualify for the label of facism more than Idiocracy did. Idiocracy actually missed, intentionally, a lot of the qualifiers for facism.
I say this because I want people to notice that this analysis is PART of the equation.
'Elite' used to mean supremely skilled at a given skill.
It has slipped to mean 'rich'.
yep. And I am so scared now. How can you teach people that wont trust or learn? They voted against their own interest. And now we all have to deal with the consequences. It's just so awful.
" How can you teach people that wont trust "
TRUST has to be earned.
Gaslighting the populous to win just the next election brought us into this dilemma (not only in the USA).
Just teach - not preach - and don't censor information, and give the voter the ability to make an informed decision.
But this of course also restricts the party implementing this in it's way to sway the voter.
Never any accountability from the left.

Maybe you should be asking “wow….maybe we are wrong here???”
Beautifully said. Can’t imagine anyone having a problem with this when it’s simply the truth. Denial is dangerous, and this is where it has lead.
Idiocracy is sharp and funny, but it parallels the reactionary tendencies to the right that centrists and the center left possess and which have become a blind-side this election: "the country collapses because poor people breed too much" is specifically eugenics, ahistorical, and Elon Musk's entire obsession.
I think it's equally important to study -why- we enjoy this movie so much when it's explicitly priming liberals to think like fascists. And what truths is it papering over/concealing in its narrative.

And this is exactly what’s wrong. I didn’t vote for Trump-I voted for Harris-because despite the left’s exclusionary propaganda and censorship of ideas, I still believe is true, classic liberalism. What to talk about whining? Look in the mirror, or better yet, just watch this cliche video again.
And there was no slight majority about it. It was a political slaughter. No one is buying what you’re selling. Get that through your head or keep losing elections.
Wait... Trump winning by 1% is a landslide?
Trump has won the 44th largest electoral victory in history. 44 out of 60.
Biden was a landslide. Trump is just a normal election. 😂
Wow, you really deleted my responses here where I clarified that a) I didn’t vote for Trump, I voted for Harris, and that b) the radical left CENSORS EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THEM. Incredible.
Not sure why you need to bring politics into your channel. Such a shame. You have lost me as a follower
I talk about science fiction. As a genre it is inherently political.
I will always be on the side of the oppressed and the hope for an equal and fair future for all people. This is what science fiction is about.
Life is political when peoples rights are on the line and when governments control our futures.
You cannot ask humans to ignore politics because it makes you uncomfortable
There's no need to announce your departure. Just leave.
@@popculturescientist
just ignore negative comments it seems your getting idiot comments on your channel
if you dont like it dont watch shes talking the truth wether you like it or not
BYE!!!
Stick to science. The better (winning) team is in charge now and big irreversible changes are ahead. You’d best make peace with it. Kick and scream all you want.
Uhm, this video was about science and science fiction. Political parties aren't sports teams. I don't need to make peace with anything. I truly hope you get everything they promised to do!
Could you point to the part where I 'kicked and screamed'?
You're proud of your dimwittery - fine. But as seen in the days since 5 Nov, Trump is headstrong on nominating pro-ignorance (e.g., RJKjr.) and that will pay off the worst kinds of dividends.

th-cam.com/video/cLgRC8MNBco/w-d-xo.html This TH-cam will explain a lot about why Trump won and Harris lost. In short basic needs of the people are not being met. Things like putting food on the table & safety are basic needs as explained in the video.
In a country with a remarkable economy according to several experts and economists, and lower crime rates than in TRUMPS FIRST ADMINISTRATION. Laughable and enervating. You just confirmed all the points she was making.
@@dias040282 Lower crime rates now vs 4 years prior. That is a gravely mistaken statement.
Believe what you want to believe. I'll tell you why I voted for Trump, and the reasons are... The economy with record inflation. Immigration, especially illegal immigration that also ties in with crime rates going way up.
The Lefts view on the whole trans issue on not knowing what a woman is doesn't help them much if you wanna talk about science.
Trump can be compared to a silly movie from 2006, but you could do the same thing with the Left. Look at California for example, it is bankrupt, millions of homeless people, crime off the charts, trans surgery for people in prison paid for by the taxpayers and no ID required to vote.
Harris lost for a lot of good reasons, but will Trump do a good job and clean the country up? That remains to be seen.
@@dias040282 the price of gasoline is over $5 a gallon in California. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from about the economy in the United States but inflation is over 20% from the last year.
Things like the trans issue or women's rights on abortion definitely take a second seat against issues like the economy and illegal immigration when voting for a president for pragmatic working Americans.
@@Skevic222 the average cost of gas in California is 4.6-4.8 USD and California has higher gas prices than the rest of the US. California is not the complete US. The average price of gas in the whole US is 3.89 USD per gallon of premium. Down from last week and down from a year ago.
@@Skevic222 inflation rate in September 2024 was 2.4%, inflation rate in September 2023 was 3.7% (according to the Consumer Price Index). How is that a 20% increase?
