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)

[–] durably465@lemmy.ml 18 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We're nearly at peak Idiocracy levels.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks 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.

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.

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

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

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

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 15 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

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

Is this real?

Fucin' hell if it is.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yup. It's on usa today and msn at least. Apparently they decided to spend a few tens of millions to fly kid rock and Hegseth around in apache helicopters.

F'n disgrace

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

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

[–] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 15 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

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.

I don't get this, any other meth head who is not kid rock would do a better job.

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

Tell me this didn't actually happen

[–] BucketBong@p.hobo.social 33 points 3 weeks ago

Ohh it happened, that really happened....

Directly from hegseths twitter.

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 13 points 3 weeks 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.

They are just getting him primed for Secretary of Defense

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I believe the term is "fluffed".

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Another pedo and pedo protector in the Pentagon. WTF!?!?

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Switorik@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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