PUNK LIVES MATTER!!!
Sad to say this is more true now than when it was first written and released.
The sad thing is, the idiots have ALWAYS been in control.
+J Smith No, they've always been controlled.
Only idiots crave authority, both having it and subjecting themselves to it.
+J Smith yes I agree entirely but its only as people emerge from the child like innocence that has been clouding their perception of the world as a generally good place through rose colored glasses that they can begin to see the depravity and darkness. Since perception is your reality their reality that they fashion as the veil is lifted is that everything is just starting to fall into disrepair despite it having always been that way they were just unable to see the harsh realities of the world we live in.
+J Smith Actually sociopaths often aren't idiots: they are thieves, they are immoral, but not idiots.
Jake Witmer sociopaths are highly intelligent and not necessarily thieves, intact that is highly unlikely. Morality is subjective, what you deem immoral might be moral to others. Sociopaths don't see things as immoral in the same way you would as someone who is a well adjusted member of society.
He has so many syllabic elements to the linguistics and terminology of the words he puts to us

I’m pretty sure Mike Judge heard this song and thought “hm, I could turn this into a script” and that’s how Idiocracy was born
I’m not sure why I haven’t seen anyone make that connection before
More relevant than ever now.
This song is truer every year.
