    We are in Idiocracy if it was a psychological horror.

    There’s no fun Starbucks handjobs or Costco law school, just fascists sucking each other off while destroying the world.

    Truth and sanity to American History?

    Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

    Orwell, 1984

    If only it would have stayed true to the timeline of the film and happened in 2505 instead of 2025.

    I’ve been saying for years that Mike Judge is the modern Nostradamus. The dude has called everything from dumb teenagers, to American work culture, to misinformed redneck culture, to Trumpism. Now he’s tackling big pharma and government sponsored terrorism and ecoterrorism with Common Side Effects. The dude is just on top of it.
