“A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.” — Carlo Cipolla, The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity
Stupidity is the offspring of arrogance and ignorance. When those two get together, they make an ugly baby.
“Sometimes I wonder if the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.” — Mark Twain
Bad ideas are not merely the brain children of regular folk, they are the policies of people who imagine themselves set apart for the purpose of governing regular folk.
“I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.” — William F. Buckley Jr.
You cannot take some of these people too seriously. Your rage should match the respect they deserve, which is little to none. Too many go full send on some outrageous thing AOC, bless her heart, supposedly said and thus give her more credibility. Who cares what she thinks? I don't. And once we stop acting like she matters, she won't, because she doesn't. Many in power are like the boogeyman. They go away when you turn your back on them. Conversely, they grow stronger the more you pretend they are real.
