Dear aliens,
If you’re reading this, please vaporize planet earth. There’s too much stupid here, we cannot be saved.
I feel very, very different from these people. Literally nothing in common. Holy crap.
Welcome to Amazon, I love you.

Oh man, we’re gonna get an Idiocracy world where porn is illegal, not one where you can get a handjob at the Costco Starbucks 😢
As someone else once said and I am paraphrasing uncredited because I don’t remember who they are: “In the Idiocracy universe, when they discovered a man who was smarter than everyone else, they put him in charge of stuff. That makes it a wiser world than our own”.
Despite their struggles, politically and socially, Idiocracy is an utopia. As far as I can remember, people genuinely worked to try to make the world better, even if they were failing at it
The man vs. machine death matches were a little fucked tho.
Canada is going to implement the same once Poilievre takes over because Canadians are dumb and “bored” with Trudeau, so they will see what being “bored” gets them. Idiots.
Unless you elect the followers of the “Queen of Canada” to parliament on the Trucker Convoy Party ticket, you will never get a Prime Minister anywhere near as bad as Trump.
I mean, I think the digital ID bullshit is pretty bad, but that’s just one thing he’s talked about so far. We’ll see how far he is actually willing to go over the duration of his tenure and what other absolutely insane bullshit he can come up with.
Dude, he never tried to change the path of a hurricane with a sharpie or look at the sun during an eclipse.
Looks like he snorted a few rails with Don Jr. backstage before his speech.
I thought they didn’t like drag?
When it comes to them, the hypocrisy is a feature not a bug of their ideology.

Hogan is famously a liar of epic proportions and shut down a potential wrestlers union in the 80s. I know many of us were hulkamaniacs at some point but he’s a piece of shit.
I haven’t kept up with ole Stone Cold but last I checked he was threatening people online for being racist and homophobic. So if you want a decent person that was once at the top of the business he’s a better choice
Edit: I should add that I know Austin beat his wife when he was king of WWE but seems to have changed his ways and bettered himself. Doesn’t excuse that he did it but like I said he’s about the best in the wrestling business
John Cena.
John Cena defends serial rapist Vince McMahon
Well that sucks. Vince McMahon is a piece of shit.
Vince is arguably one of the biggest pieces of shit alive
I know next to zero about professional wrestling, but isn’t CM Punk also a pretty good dude outside the ring?
General politics wise he’s publicly been pro women’s rights and supports LGBQT+ rights
John Cena too I think. At the very least he had the record for most wishes granted for the Make a Wish Foundation.
John Cena speaks pretty fluent Chinese when he needs to apologize to the CCP.
There is no way the studio didn’t push for that.
He’s a massive star. He could have said, “no, fuck the CCP, I won’t do it.” It’s not like he would have never gotten work in Hollywood again. He’s worth way too much even if he doesn’t kowtow to the CCP.
TBF celebrities bigger than him have been cancelled for lesser offenses than taking on the CCP.
Such as?
Didn’t like that but can’t say I’d do different.
He’s on the right side politically, definitely. Big believer in human rights, and has spoken up publicly in favor of abortion and trans rights.
I hear that he’s a nightmare in his personal life due to being a big huge ball of trust issues, but he definitely ain’t no fascist.
Punk has some issues for sure but he’s not a bad person
He didn’t lie when he said he was a racist though. Of course, he didn’t know there was a camera on him at the time.
He should paint his mustache orange like Trump’s hair
Republicans say they’re against human trafficking but Hulk’s lawsuit is what took down the journalist outfit that blew the whistle on Epstein (Gawker).
Say more about this?
Gawker was an online news/celebrity gossip site that ran in the early 2000’s. They were pretty notorious for some of their unethical practices. Like finding the unique IMEI numbers of celebrities’ cell phones in Manhattan then tracking them and putting their real time locations online in a user friendly map causing them to get ambushed by fans while doing errands like shopping or getting a haircuts.
They made enemies with billionaire Peter Thiel by outing him as homosexual when they published his text messages sent to a male sex worker he was patronizing.
While there’s little proof it’s believed that Thiel along with the Republican party changed a long standing law that prevented third parties from funding other people’s lawsuits.
Regardless Gawker would get sued by Hulk Hogan when they published a private video of Hogan going into detail about his deeply held racist beliefs (saying the n-word numerous times, saying he didn’t want his daughter seeing black men).
This lead to Hulk being disavowed by the WWE. He was removed from their Hall of Fame and banned from further appearances.
Thiel funded Hulk’s defamation lawsuit as revenge for their earlier humiliation of him. A lawsuit Hulk would not have likely been about to pursue otherwise. While few would argue the merits, the damages were wildly inflated to the tune of 100’s of millions. Hulk was long past his prime and even his modestly successful reality TV series was long forgotten at that point so he wasn’t worth anywhere close to that amount.
While a fair ruling would have likely left Gawker intact this pointedly vindictive one forced them into bankruptcy. They closed their doors shortly there after to the delight of the right wing.
While many found Gawker’s “Nightcrawler” like approach to journalism abhorrent. Unflinchingly procuring and publishing the most salacious celebrity gossip regardless of consequence, or newsworthy merit. Often in ethically dubious ways.
It’s none the less a large part of why they broke they Epstein story first, which many in the media now admit was an open secret. They were true to their name, willing to expose some of the most powerful people on the planet on stories that defied all convention knowing that even the most upstanding and righteous person would compromise themselves to “gawk” at it.
I think they took a lot of pride in this, being able to bring down anyone of any race, creed, color or class to read their “dirty” tabloid. They know what your base desires want, even if you won’t admit it to yourself.
You meet people this brave (reckless?) once in a lifetime with this brutal effectiveness. Sure there’s plenty of war time journalists every bit as brave but their high morals seem to keep them from getting really dirty like Gawker did.
Maybe some will find that view offensive. None the less, if you relished the thought of a notorious child sex trafficker hanging from his cell. It’s not chic online influencers and trendy memes you should thank. It’s those reviled gossip hounds at Gawker. RIP ;__;
From what I remember, the whole Gawker vs. Hogan lawsuit was over a sex tape. I don’t remember anything racist.
It also contained sex but it was the racist stuff that destroyed his career and provided grounds for the lawsuit.
Well I feel dirty now. Hogan was my hero when I was growing up. I was 100% a little Hulkster back in the day. The night he revealed he was joining nWo is seared into my mind. I honestly looked up to the guy. Turns out, all those times he played someone looking out for the little guy, the weak, those who couldn’t defend themselves… was 100% just acting.
This is 100% why they say, never meet your heroes. I am disappointed and my day is ruined.
Big throwing-a-dog-in-the-water energy.
Your childhood heroes are losers
Excuse me, but my childhood heroes were Mel Blanc and Jim Henson.
Thank goodness there are still some good ones left of our childhood heroes.
I’m looking at you, Lucy Lawless Warrior Princess (who has the power of flight per The Simpsons), and especially looking at you LeVar Burton (who has the power of summoning rainbows with his mind)!
Fuck Kevin Sorbo.
Lucy Lawless is an absolute treasure of a human being.
When your fan club has a week dedicated to being charitable, you’re deserving of those fans.
What’s the scoop with Sorbo?
He broke his kneecaps dropping down to blow Trump, is a rabid anti-vax/anti-anything-covid-protection, and generally has bad luck when he tries to think (and really likes to demonstrate that publicly).
Spider-Man wouldn’t ever do some shit like this
Danny DeVito is pretty fucking awesome
Toeknife…
Rum ham!
Too bad he didn’t bring Heather Clem up with him.
What is this timeline
We all know where this is heading.
The short coming of Idiocracy was that the characters had to be somewhat likable and the plot had to go somewhere. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho took proactive, positive action when he put the Smart Man Alive in charge of the problem. I would absolutely vote for him.
One step closer to Idiocracy.
