I have a friend who is a good person overall but really buys into the "real life is becoming Idiocracy" bit. I was frustrated, because I'm not the best real-time arguer so I don't think I did a good job of expressing why the movie is disgusting trash.
I attempted to talk about how it blames people instead of systems, and how it's an awful eugenics narrative. But we quickly got into a rabbit hole about whether intelligence can be passed on genetically or not and if that matters, and other dumb topics that went nowhere.
What's a concise and offline-compatible way of explaining why Idiocracy is bad & decent people should find it gross?
moralizing art is a losing battle with no reward for victory. the premises of the movie are wrong and the conclusions terrible, but also it's a funny comedy. Ow My Balls should be a real show.
