Have we forgotten about Trump, the Koch brothers, hmm who else.
The current movie appears to be a bond idiocracy crossover.
Idiocracy is not an accurate depiction of what we have going on, and I'm tired of people saying that it is. Idiocracy was about a dumbing down of everyone because smart people did not breed.
However, people still had the best of intentions despite their limited brain capacity. They just didn't know how to actually fix the world.
And real life we have people actively denying climate change despite the obvious effects not out of idiocy, but because they are literally being paid to, and because it makes a decent wedge issue for political gain. There is an obvious motive there that can be explained by malice instead of stupidity, especially since the people trying to get this money in power are likely to die before the effects of climate change come into full circle.
An idiocracy, they actively want to fix the climate problems, they are just literally too stupid to use water instead of Gatorade for plants. Because everyone is taking a slogan more literally than actual evidence.
Another great comparison is Donald Trump and Camacho. Donald Trump ignored the existence of covid-19, downplayed the effects of it, and blamed the parts of it that could not be ignored on his predecessor. He also villainized Anthony fauci, the man who was trying to make covid-19 only last a couple of weeks, but because he was villanized so hard it became a global pandemic that lasted over a year.
Camacho was fully aware there was a problem, acknowledge the people who were suffering and the Direct effects of the problem, and put the smartest man in the world in charge of fixing the problem.
It is not an app comparison, because Society is not the way it is because it is stupid, but because it is actively being manipulated by malefactors and bad faith agents.
The planet is not being mismanaged nor is it dying because it's just time. It is being murdered for personal gain by people with names and addresses.
I mean I guess the paid shills are part of it, but there is also a large group of useful but ultimately well-meaning idiots repeating their propaganda. And even disregarding that nobody really knows how to fix climate change once you start adding stipulations like not crashing the bejesus out of the holy economy, so not that far off I would say.
We want to fix climate change too, but we are Not Sure about how to handle the Brawndo stock crashing and how long it takes the nitrate levels in the soil to normalise once we switch back to water. See CO² emissions still not decreasing but rather increasing for decades now despite everybody knowing it's the major cause of global warming, never mind that we would have to pull CO² back out of the atmosphere to stop the damage it will cause in the future from happening.
My man Camacho also nearly killed Not Sure in a monster truck arena because of the unforeseen stock crash resulting in like half the population being unemployed and the soil nitrate level delay hiding that the solution worked, the latter being revealed Just In Time™ for dramatic effect.
Meh, it's both stupidity and malice IMHO. When in doubt refer to Hanlon's Razor:
Sometimes nobody having THE solution to a problem is a bitter part of reality that we have to face, and I fear the issue of climate change in particular is one of those problems. Existing malice notwithstanding.
There's a jewish fascist
Netanyahu, Shapiro, prager, or someone else?
Yes!
to be fair, what do you expect from a guy who is part of the liberal NATIONALISTS
Wonder who the liberation concerns with that oxymoron
Can we start talking about those who told the truth more than those who lie? Here's a short starting list:
Gary Webb
Milton William Cooper
Bill Hicks
Julian Assange
Edward Snowden
Anyone else?
Gary Webb killed himself, Milton Cooper was a quack, and Julian Assange is a far-right wing tool.
If he had released everything he had rather than just what he had on his enemies I would respect him a bit more.
Julian Assange was cool up until he was a fascist pedophile. He knew all about russia, but instead chose to double down on some damn emails.
Did his wife leave him after watching spend too much time with Epstein or was that Bill Gates?
Dunno
Apparently not.
Random aside, considering the fact that it is very obvious that we do not live in reality, but in fact a dystopian novel that was written in the prime timeline, and by a total hack at that. Do you think in the real world they have colonized the moon? Do you think someone won the million dollars from proving psychic powers? Do you think Al Capone's vault actually had something in it? Because if this is the time one where everything went wrong, what is the timeline where everything went right like?
Ask Loki.
So did Hunter S. Thompson. Van Gogh too.
Good point. I totally forgot about them.
Yeah, You mean all that cocaine he had?
Snowden was also a right wing tool. Which is why he suddenly developed a conscience when the wrong guy got elected.
