Yah you’re right, hundreds of millions of people just aren’t as smart as you, it must be crushing to have so much clarity and insight that your entire species doesn’t share, the righteous loneliness must be palpable.
Guess the German and Austrian Jews had it coming, they were just too stupid to see what was obvious. Should’ve just moved, of course! Why didn’t they think of that?
It’s really easy to move if you get a running start and really give it some muscle. If you have room in your cartoonishly large suitcase, you can bring your family, your home, your car, your career and your extended family and whatever support systems you have! Also, governments all over the world love when you just drop in unannounced, they set up trampolines and big piles of comfy pillows for you to jump onto safely and everything.
2/3 of Americans voted against their own interests, out of stupidity, greed or racism, and the remaining is fucking dumb if they choose to stay.
Your take on it is like people saying “there are so many people that believe in God, are you saying everyone is stupid except you?”. Yes, I am. Same fucking thing, numbers don’t make them right…
Time will tell. Until then, enjoy your new authoritarian government and lawless system.
When you resent a segment of a population for not living up to your standards, you’re not being a better person, you’re being that which you hate. Black-and-white thinking, xenophobia, hate.
Meanwhile, if you recognize the failings of populations over individuals, you will form far more useful and nuanced analysis of situations. An individual person has great capacity and infinite capability for change, for learning, for adapting and understanding. But when you are talking populations, they take on every worst property you can attribute and become inflexible, disappointing mobs of stupidity.
If you can’t hold both of these ideas in your head at once to both empathize and sympathize with those you don’t understand, while remaining true to your own values and understanding of the world, again you’re just MAGA with an accent.
enjoy your new authoritarian government and lawless system.
It’s there too, wherever you are and however much better you think your tribe is, you are the same fucking species with the same fucking vulnerabilities, and the harder you stamp your feet and shake your fist that you’re “better” the more vulnerable you are to having your agency taken away without you even caring or realizing it.
I don’t really want to continue to try to teach “being a mature adult” to someone just looking for validation for their own self-importance, so I’ll leave it at that and just hope you grow up one day. I won’t be there to see it, or anything else you have to say.

Many did move.
Did those that didn’t, deserve what happened to them?
Yes, I agree with this statement.
