I don’t identify with any political party. I hate them all. I went to one of the most liberal colleges in the country, I’ve voted third party way more times than either D or R (I am a registered D, ftr) and as time goes on, I’ve now got a family, pay taxes all that poop, I choose to look at things objectively instead of “well, because I HAVE to.” It’s all bullpoop, and that’s what I want my kids to think. They should question everything.

All these issues that pop up every week, the stupid poop driven down our throats, the either you’re with us or against us mentality all distracts us from the real problem here. It’s not a 50/50 issue in this country, it’s a 99/1 issue in this country (in the world, really) and the longer we’re distracted from that fact, the further into the abyss we go.

And, yes, I’m a huge Network fan. Between that and Idiocracy we’re on that path. Arthur Jensen/Paddy Chayefsky was a smart man.

By design. None of this has anything to do with supporting anything or anyone it has everything to do with driving a societal wedge between the population. It’s so god damn obvious. To me at least…

Yup those in power don't want the masses to agree so we have wedge issues and misinformation. Their biggest tool is doxxing and banning those who disagree or labeling them racist or sexist or homophobic. In the world of the isles Josh Bailey is that wedge

Just for the record, I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it any more.

Really good movie, brilliantly written by Chayefsky, with some great acting as well.

I've been meaning to see Idiocracy since forever.

Not sure what that means.

I had to look it up when some kid in his 20's said it to me as well.
It means : A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves.

Well the NHL put out a tweet about a job fair being held in Fl. and who can attend tweeted this:

"Participants must be 18 years of age or older, based in the U.S., and identify as female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability…"

I guess White men need not apply. Fighting discrimination with discrimination

Governor DeSantes gave them a taste of reality and the NHL took down the tweet and changed it to: "It is open to anyone over the age of 18 years of age."

This country better get its priorities straight!

I guess saying, “hey man I agree with you” is racist and triggers microaggressions.

"hey man..." assumes the person identifies as a man. Get with the program!

The sad thing is Idiocracy is supposed to be 500 years into the future, not 10. Yeah, it’s a great movie, dumbed down society run by a an autocratic government and a few corporations who own everything.

It’s frightening how much from Network has become true. Way ahead of it’s time.

My niece is completing orientation for a pretty prestigious position. An entire day of a two day orientation was dedicated to pronoun usage and application.
