I don't know what to think of this episode. Is it a leftist slam against Reagan, or a somewhat prophetic of a democrat wet dream, of eliminating smart children, with very late "abortion".

I saw that twice. Very creepy. Interesting twist at the end.

I guess the boogie man now is not Reagan but that WEF Schwab guy.

If they can't weaken us with jabs, plastics, and diseases from the turd world, then they might have to take a more active stance in creating a more manageable population.

I don’t think it was a jab against anybody, at least not strongly.

I think it was just a juxtaposed episode, where you find out that what was wanted of you was opposition what you thought was wanted of you.

Its an adaptation of a story from the 50s.

We are here:

Now take your "boosters", accept your "elections" and shut up.

Huh what, a teenager was killed because he was "too smart", and was a threat to the establishment.

Isn’t that a juxtaposition on the argument linking the Eugenic argument of IQ and the rights of the citizenry?

I think you just like saying 'juxtapose'.

Your morale is measured by your love for Joe Biden and your acceptance of our current electoral process.

Our current electoral process was devised by the founders

The current state of cheating is brought to you by the disloyal democrat party

The electoral process actually found in the real world is not what our founders built. In fact, the government in general which is actually found in the real world is not what our founders built.

Agree. In general, the replacement of a Constitutional Federal Republic with a corrupt swampocracy is an act of treason by the democRATs.

“What I want to fix your attention on is the vast, overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence - moral, cultural, social, or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how “democracy” (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient Dictatorships, and by the same methods? You remember how one of the Greek Dictators (they called them “tyrants” then) sent an envoy to another Dictator to ask his advice about the principles of government. The second Dictator led the envoy into a field of grain, and there he snicked off with his cane the top of every stalk that rose an inch or so above the general level. The moral was plain. Allow no preeminence among your subjects. Let no man live who is wiser or better or more famous or even handsomer than the mass. Cut them all down to a level: all slaves, all ciphers, all nobodies. All equals. Thus Tyrants could practise, in a sense, “democracy.” But now “democracy” can do the same work without any tyranny other than her own. No one need now go through the field with a cane. The little stalks will now of themselves bite the tops off the big ones. The big ones are beginning to bite off their own in their desire to Be Like Stalks.”

C. S. Lewis, from Srewtape Proposes a Toast

Lol! I remember watching that episode back in the 1980’s, probably when it originally aired around age 12. Freaked me the hell out! I just couldn’t grasp the concept of why you would want to eliminate everybody that was gifted and only have average people. Then I learned about communism. That episode might have been one of the many things that started me on the path to becoming a diehard capitalist conservative.

Episode should be renamed “How Presidential primary and cabinet selections are made by the DemocRAT party”.
