The Wisconsin educational system right now:
Every day think about this movie. How prophetic is was. People are going to look back in 100 years and say, “you guys knew where this was headed”
God I fucking wish we were in the Idiocracy timeline. They were all morons but they also immediately put the smartest guy they knew in charge of fixing shit.
They also expected him to fix everything in a week, and when that didn’t happen they tried to execute him….
Why the movie not realistic unless you assume rest of the world doesn't exist. Because I can guarantee you that China isn't full of stupid people. If this happens to America China will come over and take us over.
No, really now?

C.M. Kornbluth wrote the original story the movie is loosely based on (more inspired by TBH) in the 1950s. Absolutely worth a read.
I already knew the story without seeing the author or the link. Yep.
Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your report card that you're fucked up. Uh, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.
