In Idiocracy they actually valued an intelligent person and wanted him to lead them. We're living through the prequel, we even have "ow, my balls" (jackass)

They have reach the idiocracy years ago.

Right now they are far beyond this line, and the humankind don't have invented the word to describe this non existence of intelligence.

humankind don’t have invented the word

Don't Look Up.

Fully devolving into “random idiot’s opinion is better than expert analysis.”

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We're nearly at peak Idiocracy levels.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

No we aren't. We're already past them.

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In the UK some politician said "we are tired of listening to experts" or something.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Might hurt their feelings when experts contradict them.

This is insulting. Also, being forced to listen to Kid Rock speak on any topic is cruel and unusual punishment.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago

Remember that the whole room is operating under orders.

Kid Rock looks like a man who's only allowed to see his kids every other weekend, but doesn't.

This is more an indictment of your high ranking officers than of the Trump administration.

Look at those cowardly, servile lapdogs sitting there allowing themselves to be addressed in the Pentagon by Kid Rock.

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I'd rather announce to the room that my explosive diarrhea is preventing me from attending and embarrassing myself than actually attending.

This world is post-satire. The Onion can close shop.

I wanna see what they do with Infowars now that they're buying it

I want some answers that Kid Rock may not have right now! WHERE'S JA RULE?

Surely this will make the military be willing to do a coup on trumps account

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was kind of going they would do a coup against him.

I'm curious what advice Mr. Kid Rock had for the admirals and generals.

[–] TwodogsFighting 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bawa dibba dibba dibba doo waa. Or something.

How things have changed. My childhood best friend was my pastor's son and I remember him sneakily buying Kid Rock's "Devil Without A Cause" while on a church trip and hiding it because such music was considered demonic. Now Kid Rock is held up by the same people who populated my childhood church as an exemplar of conservative values or whatever? FOH

From the crowd that says they don't like when actors get political...

From https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/kid-rock-address-pentagon/

The image is real and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared it on social media. However, the caption claiming Kid Rock addressed the Strait of Hormuz was fabricated, originating in an X post from a user who has shared fictional and humorous content.

Tell me this didn't actually happen

[–] BucketBong@p.hobo.social 24 points 4 months ago

Ohh it happened, that really happened....

Directly from hegseths twitter.

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 9 points 4 months ago

I regret to inform you it probably did: https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/kid-rock-addressed-pentagon-strait-hormuz

Most US sources are focused on the helicopter ride, but the rest of the details seem to line up, so I’m filling this under: probably happened.

Corruption. He obviously has no business being there, let alone lecturing those in attendance.

I came here hoping for someone calling this out as AI slop....unfortunately, this is apparently real.

[–] Switorik@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What's sad is I can't tell if this is real or not.
