Kakistocracy is an economically, culturally, and socially variable ideology. Kakistocracy itself is the proverbial "Rule of the stupid" or more literally "Rule of the worst", and while the concept of Kakistocracy has existed for as long as stupid people have ruled, the concept of Intentional Kakistocracy is a newly created phenomena.

Whether it be Protest Voting, Political Kneecapping, or Anarchist / Primitivist 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, Democracy!

Of course, Kakistocracy wouldn't know what you were talking about if you told him all this. He doesn't know the dark and terrible power of Political Cynicism that he wields, and is happy to just play around with his ideology-pals. He speaks in the heavily cringeworthy dialect of Temspeak*, as he is not illiterate, just absolutely brain-dead.

Hiztury

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 term has then occasionally appeared in various texts through the centuries, particularly in the 19th century.

In the early 21st century Kakistocracy has become the subject of the sci-fi comedy film Idiocracy in which stupid people have outbred the smart people, leaving the year 2505 an absolute hell-hole (Won't spoil the rest of the film because it's actually funny).

The usage of Kakistocracy in the Polcompball community started with the post by the user ErinsHere on the r/newwackyideologies subreddit called "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 "A New Ideology Gets Some Advice (Kakistocracy. Look it up)".

Purzunalitey

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.
