Idiocracy happens because of the degenerative effects of democracy and equality rhetoric. Liberty and meritocracy are the antithesis of both these things, and will be heavily promoted in the free market. Free enterprise, then, is the solution to idiocracy, not the source of the problem.

People who often worry about Idiocracy forget that climate change in the next few decades or WW3 starting (the US will have to use war to hold up the economy when we lose world reserve currency status) will most likely kill the idiots off and bring back natural selection before "Idiocracy" an take hold in hundreds of years.

Idiocracy is the result r-selected vermin having their poor habits be subsidized and encouraged, because the consequences for their retarded actions are diffused throughout the country. A system of free enterprise would promote the opposite of idiocracy, as the market will encourage competition and devour the indolent.

What idiots? War is an inherently dysgenic process; the strongest men of a generation are sent off in their prime to die in droves for the protection of the weak and the freeloaders. You're just accelerating the trend already in place.

No but it allows the state to keep the Keynesian economic model and spending going and mask the affects of depression such as low unemployment even though as Hayek, said, we'd have nothing to eat. Things only got better after the end of WW2 but the broken window fallacy doesn't apply to Halliburton and other defense contractors who get rich off war. It is also a useful way to rally an increasingly diverse country around a common enemy such as China or Russia. Especially when the introduce a currency that threatens your petro dollar.
>War is an inherently dysgenic process; the strongest men of a generation
Strong doesn't mean smart, and intelligence is why homo sapiens is where it is. Do you think guys like Musk or Zuckerberg are doing the fighting? And if things get really bad, (with climate change being potentially civilization ending) you end up with a Mad Max scenario where government doesn't exist anymore and the freeloaders don't have the same systems to protect themselves anymore. Just the strong, smart, savage, and lucky left to fend for themselves

Muh climate change is the excuse for importing them here, not the actual reason. It can't be the actual reason, because anthropomorphic don't real, it's just a scare-mongering meme used to con people into giving more taxes and more power to the state.
>No but it allows the state to keep the Keynesian economic model
Yeah, and the Keynesian economic model is wrong and not representative of reality. And the reality is you can't use war to prop up an economy, that's not how shit works.
>the broken window fallacy doesn't apply to Halliburton and other defense contractors who get rich off war
Of course it does. The whole point of the broken window fallacy is opportunity cost, and there is a massive opportunity cost to the taxpayers when Lockheeb et al get billions of dollars in pork barrels. That cost is even higher when you realize nearly all of that materiel is thrown into a meatgrinder, making it an even bigger waste of money compared to, say, Amtrak.
>Strong doesn't mean smart
And smart doesn't mean evolutionarily fit; I've met plenty of people that are book-smart but are utterly useless wastes of space. Further, you're making a number of bad assumptions about the draft, military service, and what it implies in order to fit it into this "lel war is eugenics" narrative you've created.
For starters, strong does not imply dumb, nor does mil recruitment favor the dumb over the smart. Therefore, you have no reason to assume that the enlisted men who get sent to die are any less intelligent than the ones who stayed behind. Further, there are attributes to consider beyond brute strength and intelligence. First, there's the simple fact that the newly enlisted are composed of able-bodied men from their late teens to mid twenties–in other words, people who are in the prime of their lives, who are the backbone of creativity, ingenuity, and productivity in any economy. I shouldn't have to explain why sending such a resource to die in droves is a net loss. Second, regardless of intelligence or brute strength, a man who volunteers for enlistment tends to be above-average in other attributes–more willing to self-sacrifice, more proactive and less reactive, and so on.
> Do you think guys like Musk or Zuckerberg are doing the fighting
assuming for the moment both of those people are as intelligent as the memes make them out to be: Do you think outliers like that are a good measure of the quality of the average man in society? If you want to make an honest comparison, you would compare Joe Schmoe who joined the Army to Joe Schmoe who did not.

It is NEVER economical to import immigrants or export a job to a foreign country. The ONLY reason it happens is because local laws passed by government incentivize that behavior.
For example importing illegal immigrants makes sense if the government forces you to pay native labor at a certain "minimum wage" which the illegal immigrants can do for cheaper than the cost of importing them, or foreigners can do for less than the cost of exporting the production line to their country.
tl;dr no its not capitalism and please get the fuck out to venezuela and eat your pet gerbil for sustenance you pathetic commie scum.

That works for like 1 or 2 generations, Gen Z is already checking out of social media, they don't have facebook, twitter, instagram or imgur accounts. Far more of their personal interaction is face to face than, say, millennials.
Once humans adapt and their psychology/biology changes, mass media is no longer a threat.

You're casting the net pretty wide there. Clearly people are not born with their agency completely self-actualized, and if you're retarded you might never self-actualize it. An infant almost certainly cannot provide consent, while a 20 year old almost certainly can. When it comes to children, if they are not at the point where they have actualized their self-ownership, they cannot consent or form binding contracts.

With just a little modification, it's a tautology. Hunger is a physical sensation, not an emotion, btw (and one which is often not consented to, along with other forms of pain and discomfort).
