Hmm idk I feel like we’re way closer to idiocracy than ~400 years
Naw. We’ll never get there. The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and the second they find someone smarter than everyone else, the people in power immediately step down to let him tackle their most pressing issues.
The idiots IRL think they’re geniuses, and when the ones in power run into someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.
The future we’re falling into is much darker than the one depicted in Idiocracy.
President Camacho legitimately being a better leader than most IRL heads of state rn. It wasn’t really the guys fault he was an idiot being born at the point of degredation he was and the guy still institutes a state wide intelligence testing program to find the smartest person he can and put that guy in charge.
Takes at least two years to convince people Gatorade is better than water for plants.
Nah, we’re never gonna get to idiocracy. The movie’s premise rides on the idea that intelligence is a heritable trait, or a measurable quantity. It is more the case, I have observed, that people are idiots by necessity. You know, it’s uhh, difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. It’s pretty easy to just call everyone stupid, and then move on, but it’s much harder to understand specifically why they’re stupid.
As a resident of Britain, I feel like we’re pretty on track for V for Vendetta, actually.
The arrow is pointing the wrong direction.
Shit i need to watch soylent green again
The first 10 minutes is all you really need to watch to enjoy all it has to offer
And miss charlton heston at his finest?!
Hm, I need to get some furniture…
Bell Riots coming up this September! Keep an eye out for a guy who looks suspiciously like Captain Sisko.
It’s frustrating that the only thing unrealistic about this episode is that a riot would actually change anything
“Was able to establish a wide broascast data link through the planetary communication system” is such a fancy way to say “got viral on a tik-tok livestream” which would be the most likely outcome
I thought the new planet of the apes movies took place in present times
This is about the old one.
oh yeah, I see the starting point in the chart now.
opening scene of the terminator , 2029 i think.
I had no idea V for Vendetta was based on the future
Yeah I think they did that to advance the plague in the story that allowed the dictator villain to take power.
The overlap and timeline is pretty fucking chilling considering how far right ideologies are starting to take hold globally again.
I always took it to be an alternate timeline. It’s much more impactful in the future.
Yeah, I think V is the most likely to occur within the timeline specified
It’s starting to look terrifyingly accurate…
Was gonna ask about star wars but then I remembered that’s in the past
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…
I thought we were already in 2505
This seems like the most likely outcome at this rate. At least costco will have public transit.
The original RoboCop movie, at least, never gave a specific year.
I cant wait for 2047
2027-2032 is going to be a wild ride.
Show me the grim dark future of the 41st millennium on the timeline!
