No, when you got to the content "Idiocracy" actually aged terribly, and shows it. While the anti-illectualism and anti-consumerism bit might be relevant, the film is moored by its pretty strong classist and eugenics contents, particularly the distaste toward the moronic working classes and the idea that they would detriment the planet by reproducing unchecked rather than curating our genes. The film treats ignorance as a natural state of the lower classes, rather than anti-intellectualism being deliberately piloted by the wealthy, and the pilot of anti-intellectual movements having a high education themselves. One easily draws comparisons to trump, but looking closely at 2016 and Project 2025 actually reveals that trump's inability limited the scope of the damage he could do (don't get me wrong, it was still terrible), while now they plan to have him surrounded by knowledgeable staff that can manipulate the system to actually make use of the power. In the end, "Idiocracy" represents the failure of the left to build actual alternative rhetoric to the right, and instead buying in its classist arguments which end up disenfranchising the people and making them susceptible to right-wing propaganda.

Sure, let's break bread!") above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government (See: Project 2025) headed by a dictatorial leader (See: "I'll be a dictator on day one!"), severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition (See: Lock Her Up!") Fun fact: Autos in Greek means "same" or "self", so in an autocratic government all the power is held by the leader him- or herself. Autocratic governments are often called dictatorships, or sometimes autocracies.(See: Project... ah, you know what I mean). And for kicks: A dictator: one ruling in an absolute and often oppressive way. (See: Stripping of rights...protections...choice...etc... ) Here's the fun part... in a Democratic Republic, you get to vote for whomever you want. It's dictators that tell you...

Their own immigration bill that Dems were willing to compromise on... that they voted against? The child tax credit bill... they also voted against after supporting it in the House? Somehow magically reducing crime... that's already been reduced? Tariffs that will INCREASE inflation, which has been going back down here for years now?

Rail against the Olympics, despite the opening ceremony not even being about Christianity? Go after gay and trans people because they have nothing to deal with actual problems, and have to make people angry about cultural politics Dems in charge barely pay lip service to? More taxcuts to the rich... ok, that one's real. And Gorsuch wants to reduce regulations again, which is totally the main thing regular people are worried about.

They don't care about life, which has nothing to do with wanting women to have bodily autonomy, while also supporting things like expanding children and womens healthcare, childcare, access to bc, comprehensive education (because abstinence only doesn't work), not being poisoned by corps that would rather use their taxcuts to buyback stock after becoming monopolies instead of cleaning their factories they pushed laws to let young people work in, and for people to be able to actually afford to have kids, hoping they aren't shot.

Also know that as society becomes increasingly divisive and satirical, these films become more prescient. That’s just how history and media criticism goes.

And unsubbed. I'm here for entertainment and a break from the stresses of everyday life, not to have more politics and division thrown in my face. Happy to have serious or even playful debates, but will do it on my own terms, not be subjected to political hit-pieces tacked onto what should be entertainment. Cuz if you delve into politics, either way you go you're pretty much alienating half of your viewers. Do you want to make content everyone can enjoy, or only one side?

Get a grip. Political and social critique has run through the horror genre since its inception. Also I struggle to understand which segment of this video even vaguely constitutes a "hit piece".

@@beardyjosh4108 Political/social critique in horror films is one thing, e.g. The Hunt, etc. Political jabs needlessly thrown into videos like this is another. And if you can't even tell where the political bit(s) were, then clearly you're willfully blind to it.

Why did you guys associate Trump and his presidency with the purge? So disappointed. That movie came out years before. Project 2025 has been denounced, the leader has stepped down its a bunch of nonsense and Trump had nothing to do with it's conception. Very disappointed in your channel to even equate those two...been watching u guys for years. Oh well I'll find another channel. Thanks...

No need to announce your goodbye. No one cares. The looming danger of another trump presidency is nothing to scoff at. We don’t need a megalomaniacal narcissist in the White House who wishes he could literally be a king. That’s not even mentioning the backsliding regarding human rights that would take place. I don’t understand how people can still be so blind.

The fact is, politics play a lot in pop culture. To leave movies out because of their obvious political plot would be disengenious. All of these videos are based on the writer's opinion. And people don't always agree on these videos.
