Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
This community has moved to !libjerk@anarchist.nexus.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
- This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Yeah, this is why I think Idiocracy isn't that great. So many people look at it and think it represents where we're heading, but the whole premise is euginics. It also doesn't provide any solutions. It's just a comedy to laugh at people you don't like, where it should be critiquing capitalism and providing an alternative. It sortof is a criticism of capitalism, but more in the neo-liberal sense of "this is the way things are, so just laugh and be upset" instead of saying it's bad and there's a way to fix it.
It is a well made film and a lot of the humor is on point.
But the eugenics thing is very gross. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it because of that.
