Government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

On behalf of all the Welsh people I know would you have a problem with “cac” rather than the Dutch based (?) “kak” in this word?

Idiocracy was just idiots, not an actively malicious group.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 8 hours ago

The state is always malicious.

Gotta drain the swamp to make room for the cesspool.

Can we instead install a drowning pool? It's usage can be for the "elites" and not the peasants this time.

You do not recognize the bodies in the water.

That's a pretty good example of trump's environmental policy.

Because they didn't have to imagine it, as its a pretty standard affair.

Yup, I could point randomly in Congress (or your government of choice) and have a high chance of picking someone that matches one or more of those descriptions.

Non-fiction.

How about the TV series Years and Years?

[–] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 hours ago

A very underrated show.

Atlas shrugged? I only read half of it.

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 24 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I watched all 3 atlas shrugged movies. It basically comes to down to "if I can't have it then no one can"

Sprinkled in with CEOs on the factory floor rolling up their sleeves and stopping an accident. A true work of fiction.

I did a report on that book in high school. I got through maybe 15 pages before losing all willpower. Then I read a bunch of summaries and other reviews. I got an A. I think my teacher hadn't read it either.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Back when I still had right-wing friends, one of them wouldn't shut up about Atlas Shrugged. So I agreed to read the book with him if he promised to read The Jungle afterwards. We both quit before getting through the first chapter. What a crappy book!

There's gotta be some cold war fiction that hits on at least a few of those points.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago

Thats because nobody wants to read trash like that.
