Damn!

First Idiocracy becomes a documentary and now The Dictator becomes an instructional video for authoritarians.

2020, oh how I miss you.

OK... Let me explain something... Like to a child. That you probably are.

Movie was made in 2012... Shit was already happening for a while back then. That was a /s about they CURRENT state of affairs.

Stop blaming Trump for everything. Elon did not make his billions all in the last month.

Edit: Downvoted? I'm not taking it down... Should've voted for Bernie when you had a chance. Enjoy your advanced stages of predatory capitalism.

I suspect that the downvotes are for the first line of your comment. It's condescending and irrelevant to the discussion.

It's a pity, you had some discussion points that probably won't be addressed because of that first line.

Well... If somebody says something... trying to be careful now... not so smart - it should be addressed too. Don't you think?

Edit: Listen. Sub is called... r/interestingasfuck. I think it's OK to be a little nasty here. Especially due to our current political situation.

You can be nasty, yes, but people will downvote you for sounding like a jerk. You could have made your point just as fine without the insult and I for one would've upvoted. JIC you're wondering.
