I think dumb people are just nicer than smart people.
- guerrilla 5y agoCounterpoint: Fascists are extremely dumb and not nice.
- bpodgursky 5y agoFascists are wrong, but I don't think they are particularly dumb on average when compared to other fringe ideologies.
- guerrilla 5y agoCompared to average is what matters, not compared to other "fringe" ideologies. I think to equate "fringe" with dumb in general is foolish.
- etchalon 5y agoThere are fewer people meaner than a dumb person who thinks they're smart.
- zionic 5y agoMight that be evolutionary? If you’re stupid and can’t provide for yourself pissing others off is a quick way to starve.
- bpodgursky 5y agoMaybe. Mostly I think smart people spend a lot of time trying to be dicks in the most clever way possible, especially on social media.
- stnikolauswagne 5y agoIdk, being incredibly toxic and/or racist online doesn‘t seem particularly smart to me, in the case of getting doxed or caught on social media at work I would rather defend my questionable taste in music and hobbies to my boss rather than actual vile or racist comments.
