Whether it be Protest Voting, Political Kneecapping, or [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|Anarchist]] / [[File:Anprim.png]] [[Anarcho-Primitivism|Primitivist]] [[File:Accel.png]] [[Accelerationism]], there's all sorts of reasons to intentionally put stupid people in positions of power over the state. Alternatively, you could use Kakistocracy as a kind of "Stress-testing" for a political system, making sure that even when the dumbest, laziest people are in power, that everything holds up alright. Looking at you, [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy]]!

While there have been rulers of questionable intelligence since pretty much the beginning of time itself, the term for it (Kakistocracy) has been only begun to be used around the 15th century, with the earliest known use of the term being in Paul Gosnold's "A sermon Preached at the Publique Fast the ninth day of Aug. 1644 at St. Maries".

The usage of Kakistocracy in the Polcompball community started with the post by the user ErinsHere on the r/newwackyideologies subreddit called "[https://www.reddit.com/r/newwackyideologies/comments/fjiwhw/kakistocracy_a_real_actual_word_with_a_real/ Kakistocracy, A Real Actual Word With A Real Actual Definition]", the ideology later appeared by the comic on r/polcompball by the same user titled "[https://www.reddit.com/r/Polcompball/comments/fhm4oy/a_new_ideology_gets_some_advice_kakistocracy_look/ A New Ideology Gets Some Advice (Kakistocracy. Look it up)]".

Kakistocracy is to be portrayed as an absolute fool in pretty much all situations, he is often very immature going beyond the realm of just being an imbecile (having the mental maturity of a teenager) into the realm of being an idiot (having the the mental maturity of a prepubescent child).

His idiocy is often shown with him wearing a helicopter hat, adoring immature and outdated memes (like "Big Chungus", "Doin your mom", etc.), and generally lacking any proper experience on any subject.
