The Four Stages of Idiocracy: A Self-Help Guide to Societal Collapse π€―
A hilarious (and terrifyingly possible) guide to the gradual descent into complete and utter stupidity. ππ
Stage 1: The Quaint Quarter of Quibblers (25% Dumb) π€
Ah, the good old days! Only a mere 25% of the population, bless their cotton socks, are... shall we say, "intellectually challenged."
We, the enlightened majority, tolerate their opinions like a mild rash, patting their heads as they propose replacing water with sports drinks.
"Bless their hearts," we'd murmur. Democracy's beautiful, isn't it? We can totally handle these adorable imbeciles with voting rights. πΆπ³οΈ
Stage 2: The Dumbening (50% Dumb, and Rising) ππ€¦ββοΈ
Suddenly, the puppies learned to barkβand vote. They've discovered strongman rhetoric and shiny authoritarian trinkets.
Democracy reveals its true face as a benevolent leader is elected to "Make Stupid Great Again!" ππ£
"Intellectual elites" become scapegoats. Jobs are lost, libraries burn π₯π, and the only books left are microwave manuals. πβ‘οΈπ
Stage 3: The Three-Quarters Tsunami of Tomfoolery (75% Dumb, Still Rising) ππ€ͺ
Now, the rulers are struggling. Laws are written in crayon ποΈ, and "enforcement" involves shouting at clouds. π£οΈβοΈ
Smart people, those mythical creatures who knew the Pythagorean theorem, are urban legends, hunted down like rare Pokemon π΅οΈββοΈπΎ or used as targets at "educational" shooting ranges. π―
"Look, Billy Bob, that's what happens when you read a book!" parents cheer. π
Stage 4: The Grand Finale: Everyone's a Goofball (100% Dumb) π₯³π€‘
Congratulations! Total imbecility achieved. Rulers are indistinguishable from the ruled.
Laws are suggestions, enforcement is interpretive dance. π―ββοΈ Society's replaced by a collective shrug. π€·ββοΈ
The only industry is novelty hats with nonsensical slogans. π§’ baffling!
History's forgotten, and the most advanced tech is a stick with a rock. πΏ Peace reigns, in a drooling, vacant sort of way. π€€ We've achieved true equality: everyone's equally clueless. π€
The end. (Or maybe, the beginning of a new, dumber cycle?) π
P.S. If this sounds familiar, you might've stumbled into Mike Judge's prophetic movie, "Idiocracy." Remember, it's not just a movie; it's a cautionary taleβand surprisingly accurate. πΏπ¬
