What’s your angle? Insecurity or propaganda? Trying to guilt trip me for having a negative evaluation of the average person?
Maybe you aren’t part of the majority of people I think of as moronic, I don’t know you in particular, but the question you are asking sounds like maybe you are worried that you would be. TBH, you probably aren’t significantly worse than average by the mere metric of being able to read and write, depressing knowing how many functionally illiterate people there are.
Of course, go ahead and think I’m actually the stupid one if it makes you feel better, I literally don’t care about that. I care about becoming smarter and more correct perhaps, not what you think of my intellect now.
Yikes. Relax, brother. I have no angle. I simply inquired into your assessment of our situation.
The reason I ask is because I see quite a number of people saying that it’s “everyone else’s fault for being immoral and stupid”, and I believe we should be looking more inward, or at least assigning fault to the ones who are responsible (the “powers that be if you will) instead of pointing the finger at our fellow brothers and sisters.
But, this is just my opinion. And you are entitled to yours. If you want to discuss further, there is no need for the ad hominem attacks 🙂.
Relaxing seems more or less impossible given the state of the world and in particular the state of the country I live in.

You asked me a question that was clearly implying an attack on my character. If that wasn’t your intention I think you phrased your post egregiously poorly.

Inward: I know I have absolutely no desire to participate in a civil war, or experience fascism and the death of democracy in the US. I worked hard to try and help bring about an election result that would prevent dooming the earth.
Powers that be: You mean conservative/centrist democrats? My hatred for them is very intense. But they aren’t people who choose to, through inaction, allow fascism to win. They just legitimately and unironically thought centrism and status quo politics would win them the election. They’re greedy, arrogant, and retarded but they thought they were going to stop fascism with more status quo liberalism.
There are a few staunch centrists that have even admitted that they should have moved leftward. Even that fucking piece of shit James Carville admitted to that. To bad its too late. Stupid fucking losers.
The non-voters demonstrated actual apathy towards the possibility of fascism winning. I don’t know that I can really forgive them, my disgust for “I don’t care who fascism hurts” is too intense to worry about how smug and also dumb liberals are.
Now, would the democrats have tried left populism if they saw it was their only way to win? Probably. It certainly seemed like Harris early in her campaign was moving in that direction before the democratic consultants showed up and they started wasting their time courting moderate republicans and pushing a weak watered down message.
But, this is just my opinion. And you are entitled to yours.
We are also entitled to critique opinions. Letting opinions be spouted without challenge has consequences. Though I’ll concede I don’t know how much it matters anymore to me considering how doomer I am now.

I wasn’t doing ad hominem, I was impugning your intentions and suggesting you were bad faith.

Lol yeah I ain’t reading this.
I sincerely hope that whatever stick got lodged up your ass comes out soon 👌. Best of luck!
Motherfucker you started by asking me why I thought I was so smart and you can’t even muster the concentration to read my response. Unbelievable.
