I hate this eugenics ass movie that tries to pretend the problem with the world is stupid people. The problem is that even smart people aren't wise enough
The premise in the intro sequence about genetics and intelligence is bogus, but anti-intellectualism is a huge problem and this movie called how bad it was going to get. Bad things happen when people don't value science or rational thinking, even if that's not the only source of problems.
This is true, but even the most passionate anti-intellectual movements will lose out in the end. Not embracing science and rational thinking is a huge disadvantage in the long run as technology and educated workers make a nation more powerful. Meanwhile, every passionate political movement will die out eventually, as people always want novel solutions when problems are never solved.
Which is exactly why people jump to it in their assumptions of what a climate apocalypse will look like. Billions will die from all the disasters, famine, and wars caused by environmental instability, but many will survive and need to live on in the fucked up world we created. Thinking about collapse is sad, but thinking about what comes after is far less comforting.
Also, it isn't the loudest leading us off a cliff, but the richest and most powerful. In a certain sense, they are incapable of doing otherwise without losing their place in the system.
All the sudden, a big fuckin' man lookin' lifted kickass truck pulls up. It has 5 sets of platinum truck nuts on the rear bumper. Marco Ruby-Yo is witnessed being lifted from the cab via drone.
Ruby-Yo lands and does a Naruto run to a nearby couch, which has... You guessed it..
Fruckin' JayDee!
The crowd goes frickin wild and throws flags and bibles or whatever. Who cares.
Eventually, people get hungry and angry and uncomfortable enough where they have to eat everything that can't run fast if they want to live.
Gotta get Mike or whomever owns the rights (probably Dusney) to allow me to do the sequel. Rights to screenplay first... Then we have to name the business that's running crafty. Maybe "Foodstein Island"?
You can help if you want. How good are you at holding a camera?

And the rule of sequels go, it is definitely worse than the original.

The rule doesn't apply to 'T2'.
If you were to ask me: 'Aliens' & 'Thankskilling III' (technically, there is no II, as III is... nevermind. No spoilers.)

Well yeah, although I would argue that the narrative of Idiocracy supports this idea

The problem is people.
Is it genocide if we all die?
Only the cats will know.

We're also not gonna all die; people assume extinction is the worst fate in store for us

A quick death is a painless death.
Imagine living in a world in which the loudest people lead the human herd over the most jagged & sloppy proverbial cliff?
....oh, wait
