It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

Idiocracy is a fascist movie about how stupid poor people are having too many babies.
The sad and weird thing is, if you drop the opening bit that's basically a comedic endorsement of eugenics, it's a decent satire of American consumerism and privatization. The stupidity of the people of the future the movie represents could just as easily been attributed to education being de-funded and corporations automating everything to the point the whole system runs on auto-pilot with no input from human experts. Edit out the skull measuring bits and I'd probably call it a decent dystopian comedy film.
