32. Idiotic To The Absurd
Loved the movie, still have a Brawndo coffee mug (somebody disappeared my Antifa mug -- maybe a Trumper in my family - but I'll get another). The movie extrapolates current trends to their ridiculous end, and nuance and complexity are of course gone.
I think there's too much emphasis on selective breeding for low IQ (actually, IQ has been increasing in recent years, a well established though almost unbelievable trend) and not enough emphasis on economic structures as determinative. But it's great entertainment for what it is.
