No. There’s this thing called laws and regulation, shill. Go back to the shitter of a country whose recycled garbage arguments you are propping up that just decides to label those regulations “deep state” in crayon before throwing them in the gutter. Outside of it, our governments still have a fair decent number of them and they are still holding fast against the number of idiots in their respective society that are being feed the most ignorant and reactionary form of propaganda because their governments haven’t rotted by a resounding patriotic “we are perfect, why bother with actual reform?”
It was just a joke, guys! Totally not prodding with what we can and can’t get away with!
Recognizing a trend versus being a proponent of the most horrible to approach it is an Idiocracy level leap in logic. The movie does not endorse eugenics in any way. At most, it displays a caricature of things, like genetics, as movies are apt to do.
“Look, there’s no police misconduct! Any complaints are from woke radicals!”
A budding authoritarian regime needs to necessarily cozy up with those in positions of authority.
I think it’s only a matter of time before they prohibit recording in public and disseminating those recordings in places like YouTube.

Also, President Camacho was supposed to be a caricature of how bad it could get, not an actually better choice.
Damn, that thing is running on a 5090, it’s on fire!
I don’t think JD Vance is going to care, he’s already receiving more off the only compensation he cares about by sucking up to MAGA and Project 2025. I’m curious what creative excuse they will come up with, since they won’t want to make JD Vance look bad when they ban it.
My personal opinion is that Putin would have thrown Musk out of a window already if he could have, and that Bannon is basically his proxy on this. Musk just wants smaller, easier to influence nations that his companies can more easily manipulate and be less subject to regulations as a result. Musk doesn’t give a shit about Putin, he is more concerned about there being an economy under him he can’t exploit as well.
So three weeks to either suck up to the US until Russia snipes them off while the US does so as well. Trump opening up with wanting to acquire Greenland and Canada wasn’t him being mad, it wasn’t him being resentful, it wasn’t him being a strong man, it was always within the context of where Trump’s US along with Russia are positioning themselves now. Forget the bombing of Hiroshima, if a nuclear bomb got dropped in Ukraine or Europe, Trump and his followers would blame Europe and do nothing to help it. The US has gone from being schizophrenic bipolar to just being psychotic. COVID was a herald of the world that awaits them, people will get to decide if they follow it as slaves or die with some dignity, knowing that their legacy might be buried under a sea of lies.
This picture needs Musk holding another leash from the other side to be accurate.
He’s a dictator and law has quickly become a facade in the US. All that was needed was for a money cult to hog government and for the opposition to be ok with becoming spineless leeches of their money as well.
Maybe, but it is also a social values problem. People have been raised to believe they are entitled to the wealth they’ve accrued, their society be damned. They got one or several houses? They can rent and are entitled to passive income with very little overhead while the rest of society increasingly finds it harder to make ends meet because they don’t even own their property. Have a lot of wealth? Just live off of the interest while inflation and lack of ways to make money for those belonging to the part of the economy not optimized to make as much money as possible get poorer.
Being rich after a certain threshold needs to be taxed. Hiding your wealth in investments and feeding a market only focused on maximizing profit needs to be regulated. How much property someone can own needs to be limited. MAGA is only possible because of the effort they spend to crowdsource the values of greed and narcissism onto their followers.
Expecting them to invest it back into their communities is expecting trickle down economics to work.

Biden was an opportunity for the old Republican party to prevail. Instead they rolled out the carpet for MAGA, and now they are rolling it for an authoritarian dictatorship. Frankly, had the democratic stoked more attention, the more bullshit that would have been spun up about them. The root of the problem is that MAGA was getting propped up with control of social networks personality cults and the sort of modern day profile targeting a shitload of money can provide.
The ego and lack of experience of the Hitler Youth coupled with a team small enough to prevent leaks.
In another timeline, single celled organisms warning their brethren about how their use of calcification processes will result in contamination that lasts forever.
