is there any actual excuse for being stupid?

Real question: is there any actual excuse for being stupid?

And I don't mean uneducated in terms of a university degree. I know a bunch of blue-collar workers in specialized fields that are far better at spatial reasoning and math than me. Plus well read / informed. And generally just better at being aware and having common sense. Really smart guys. Either never went to college or didn't graduate.

Then you have the genuinely dumb ones:

Vaccines cause autism.

Magic healing crystals.

The media is the enemy of the American people.

The muslims are the enemy of the American people.

The bankers are the enemy of the American people.

Bernie would've won.

Socialism works.

Feminism makes sense

the white race is superior.

Hillary killed Scalia.

You know the type. People who can't string a coherent sentence together. Banding together in giant populist movements against people who actually know more than they do.

You don't have to go to college to understand what's fucking stupid and what isn't.

I don't really think there's an excuse for dumbness. It's just laziness in your thinking.

There is no excuse for being stupid. Common sense, however, ironically is not too common. There is also not excuse for paying too much for socks. Be smart and get socks at 50% off at socksoff.com. You don't have to go to college to know that buying socks at socksoff is the smart choice.

Customer testimonial from Soquesha D'scount

"I gets my socks at socksoff. Cuz paying too much for socks is racist"

Blue collar workers can get durable work socks, white collar workers can get quality dress socks, so do yourself justice and go to socksoff.com and get your socks for 50% off. Socksoff.com.

This joke is already old.

Can you just upboat and go on about ur bizness? I'm troll posting a dead horse, with a touch of topical commentary, subtle yet wry. Also, go to socksoff.com and get some god damned 50% off socks. Socksoff, your source for socks. Socksoff.com

Ur mum's old, but she still gets plenty of action.

You forgot r/drama

And people who frequent r/drama discord

I really wish I could :/

Your're stupid.

shut the fuck up

make me bitch boy

Fine, I will. If I report you to the mods for crypto-hate your time here is at an end. Say goodbye, bigot.

u think the mods would listen to ur gay ass?

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

I'm stupid and I have no excuses indeed

The muslims are the enemy of the American people.

MUSLIMS ARE AWESOME

The women are

Bernie would've won.

Maybe, maybe not, but he polled very well against Trump while Hillary polled better against the other GoP candidates.

Trump is a populist. Bernie is a populist. Neither would lock down the growing "country is going in the wrong direction, let's just try something desperate to shake shit up" vote, and it would simply be a matter of deciding which one was less likely to screw things up.

is this a seriouspost? we dont like seriousposts around these parts, partner

I'm disagreeing with the OP. Who is stupid enough to think that HilLIARy was a better candidate than the KFC guy.

if you disagree with him then call him a third-world retard like a normal person, don't write these gross multi-paragraph opinion pieces

Holy fuck your comment was like two lines of text dude, calm down

People are the sum of their experiences. To someone raised in Louisiana in the desert, the Jews are ruining America, the Muslims are a real threat to their lives, and Trump will save them from this onslaught of evil minorities.

To someone raised in San Francisco, white men are holding the POC down, oppressing the LGBTQ by refusing to use their correct pronouns, and and are secretly planning to murder the poor. Obviously, Bernie is the only solution.

The culmination of these people's experiences has caused them to believe these things, and it's really difficult to convince them otherwise, especially when they're both yelling at each other and hitting each other with bike locks and baseball bats.

The only way to fix this is to empathize with people. To truly understand why they hold these beliefs. I read an article about a black guy who became friends with KKK members, and "converted" them. All it took was for two people to connect, to understand each other.

Both sides are human beings. We need to understand that. Only then can we expect real change.

The only way to fix this is to empathize with people.

Someone ban this motherfucker from /r/Drama

No, those are the transplants. Also SF didn't vote Bernie. There was a lot of reeeeeing about that.

To someone raised in Louisiana in the desert

there's a desert in Louisiana?

The media is the enemy of the American people.

This one is true though.

You would be surprised how much of the industrial or political elite hold the sames crazies beliefs. A lot are very superstitious.

People are the sum of their experiences.

And their environnement.

Living near a no-go zone or in the hills of LA will produce two types of people because their top priority will be fundamentaly different. One will dream about space gay communism, the other about security.

The flow of (dis)informations they are receiving is enormous, which result in a lot of misguided opinions but even the average idiot has still a functionning moral compass and can see there is something very wrong how the mondialisation was handled.

i went to college and got straight a's but i ended up an r/drama poster

clearly stupidity is just unavoidable for some people

Me too except without the straight As or college

Stupid is as stupid does.

are u subhumans thinking i wrote this?

kys all of u

well give us the source! this is really good pasta

/u/mmitcham how does it feel to be so enlightened?

the white race is superior

This is objectively true and if you disagree it's because your either a gay, a woman or a nigger.

Or all of the above.

Are you trying to compensate for the fact that you're a potato-huffer? Kinda seems like it

Bro. We all know you like cock. Specifically sheep cock.

Socialism works.

boi

I'll give a somewhat serious answer. People are stupid because nothing else is required of them. Most people are born to serve a simple role within society, anything extra like learning beyond basic school needs is purely your own choice. Not to mention, people tend towards whats easy, and its easier to say "god did this" than learn about the science behind why the Earth is here etc. Most of those things you listed offer very simple answers to people "blacks are the problem" "feminism is the problem", all whilst distracting people and keeping them somewhat productive with the culture they live in.

Just remember, you need someone to box your fucking pokemon socks and someone else to drive a van for 12 hours a day to put them through your letterbox (well, your mums house, lets be serious for a moment).

The media is the enemy of the American people.

Do you recognize a pattern here? If you do, what conclusions do you draw from it?

OP, you are extremely stupid. Do you have an excuse?

no
