Idiocracy 2022. (Yes, we're there.)

Welcome to Carl's Jr. Would you like to try our EXTRA BIG ASS TACO? Now with more MOLECULES! ~Carl's Jr. Computer, Idiocracy.

I saw this last night.

Evidently, a couple of Libertarian Crypto-bros are arguing over fake "Bored Ape Yacht Club" NFT's. Good luck with that, these things are completely unregulated. 

Out of curiosity I did a little research. NFT's...or Non-Fungible Tokens...are essentially bits of data on the Blockchain that people pay money for because something something Gazpacho. Mostly, so far as I can tell they're just shitty artwork. Actually, a lot of them aren't even on the Blockchain, they're just hyperlinks.

If you ask me, this is the apotheosis of Internet Stupidity. 

People are paying money for hyperlinks to stupid shit because they can. Essentially, they're buying nothing as if it's some kind of a status symbol. 

Might as well say you're slicing Air into bite-sized chunks and sell it. Hell, after how yesterday went in general, I'm almost afraid to ask what These Fucking People will think of next. 

Is there a level of humanity dumber than Idiocracy? 

(A friend of mine would probably deadpan answer "Libertarianism" to that. And he's not wrong.)

I think we're there.

~From Idiocracy.

Evidently, conservatives have "Canceled" some guy named Jack Murphy who's some sort of "Alpha Male counselor" because he does gay webcam porn?

Hold on, do people pay for that shit, really?

Like anybody should be surprised when a dude apparently spends that much time on his beard? That said anybody who'd give this dude money is a damn fool to start with, but whatever. I don't care if he does gay stuff, it's not my business. But if your ass was also making a living by saying homophobic shit and that's what these idiots were paying you $100 a month for, I reserve the right to laugh at you.

I don't care if you're gay. It's your behavior that's ridiculous.

I mean seriously, nobody cares about this shit except for "Conservatives" And at this point if you're an LGBT conservative, you're an idiot.

Also, wait a minute, aren't these the people who hate Cancel Culture?

Except when they do it, of course. That's always different.

Joe: Man, I could really go for a Starbucks, you know?

Frito: Yeah, well, I really don't think we have time for a hand job, Joe.

~From Idiocracy.

I mean...what?

Four Seasons Total Escort Service?

I get that Florida is constantly trying to portray itself as some kind of :Conservative" paradise and blah blah blah, but...I mean, Jesus.

Whatever happened to any level of basic respectability?

What the fuck happened to Rudy Giuliani? Time was, dude was America's Mayor, with a real, serious shot at being President and the kind of no-shit reputation that could very well have gotten him there. Now he's...this. At the Mar-a-Lame-Ass New Years Eve party with some girl who looks like she's smiling because she knows how big the paycheck is.

Can somebody try unplugging Conservatism and plugging it back in again? Please?

This shit is ridiculous, and I think last year was bad enough.

Joe: For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.

Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.

Attorney General: "So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops.

Joe: Yes.

Attorney General: Water. Like out the toilet?

Joe: Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea.

Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave.

Attorney General: It's got electrolytes.

Joe: Okay, look. The plants aren't growing, so I'm pretty sure that the Brawndo's not working. Now, I'm no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow. ~From Idiocracy.

Apparently, Republicans are still in pursuit of the mythical massive and somehow permanent Republican majority. And Hobo Rasputin here thinks they'd get it if not for that one guy.

Bitch, there's always going to be "That one guy" and in 2020 you fuckers ran into 81 Million of them.

 

I wonder if Steve Bannon believes in Santa Claus, too?

Republicans, especially Anarcho-Capitalist shits like Bannon, just don't seem to get that people don't like them, their ideas aren't popular and haven't been for a long damned time, mostly because it's been over a decade now since Republicans had any ideas that benefitted anybody other than Republicans.

And I just love how the old Republican credo of Individual liberty, Limited government, and Personal responsibility has been replaced by Bullshit, Excess and Trying to find some magic workaround for basically everything. 

It's become a combination of "Fuck You" and "The dog ate my homework" as a political philosophy.

This is what happens when courage, good sense and morality become things that are expected of other people or only even brought up when they can be used as a stick to beat the other side with. Yes, I've been seeing the right-wing meltdown over AOC going to Florida too. 

Grow the fuck up, people.

If we as a people keep putting up with this silly bullshit, we deserve what we're going to get.

If you want a better country you have to be a better citizen, a better person, and that's not what any of this is.

If you want Freedom, that requires Truth.

Part II

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan
