It's easy to recognise conformity in other people. The political activist repeating a familiar slogan. The colleague who becomes furious when challenged.

When Mike Judge released *Idiocracy* in 2006, its premise was absurd enough to be funny: an average man wakes up in a future where intellectual standards have collapsed so dramatically that he becomes the smartest person around. Two decades later, the uncomfortable question is no longer whether such a future is imaginable. It's whether we've mistaken the warning signs for entertainment. In the latest Felix Rex video, I examine the forces that may be pushing modern America in precisely the wrong direction—and why the answer is more disturbing than a comedy about stupid people.

Political alliances are often explained through shared values, common interests, or a vision of the future. But what happens when none of those explanations seems entirely sufficient? Across contemporary Western politics, movements with very different beliefs have increasingly found themselves rallying around the same international cause. 
Their differences are not trivial, and the question of what connects them deserves more than a superficial answer. 
In my latest video, I explore this strange convergence and ask what it reveals about the direction of modern political life.
