Have Americans always been this stupid?

  • Absolutely. But also something that is not mentioned enough is American anti-intellectualism. Its a culture where its been completely normalized to have opinions on things based on nothing but a feeling or a youtube video, and then regard those views as equal to analysis that come from experts that have studied their whole lives on the matter.

    Not everyone gets to be well educated but it takes a special kind of arrogance to be uninformed and proud.

    • How do you seriously fight fascism and don't say just vote?

  • wow that's a lot of nonsense. Just an idea: maybe look up on a dictionary what fascism means before posting on a thread about fascism.

    • Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second

  • Use a pihole people, don't go barebacking the internet

    So what do we think about this?

    An Audacious Plan to Halt the Internet's Ensh*ttification ...

  • Yes that's right, the suction of one's poo right back into one's asshole.

    • Billionaire politicians have become 'shockingly common' around the world, new study finds

  • No one said WHO needs to eat them though, I'm sure there are volunteers.

    • Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia

  • He can't just buy a foundation, it's a non-profit not a company.

    • Smoking age should rise from 18, by one year every year - Rishi Sunak

  • lol yeah I respect inexistent 'god given rights' the same amount as I respect the rights bestowed upon me by the school of Hogwarts.

    Good try passing off your personal religious beliefs as universal truths though.

    • Smoking age should rise from 18, by one year every year - Rishi Sunak

  • Oh I see now, you believe rights are given to you by some imaginary bearded guy in the sky! Lmao

    • Smoking age should rise from 18, by one year every year - Rishi Sunak

  • Maybe you're not quite clear on what a right is - its generally something that that's enshrined in constitutional law like for example in a human rights act, or for some advanced democracies even the right to privacy is included in a bill of rights. The 'right to smoke and be unhealthy' is not a right at all, its a freedom that you may have.

  • Oh but it just isn't. Tobacco is a controlled substance in pretty much every country in the world. Now you may disagree as to where this government is being too restrictive and that's fine, but it doesn't mean you have any inherent rights to consume tobacco. The same way you don't have a right to consume heroine or meth.

    • Smoking age should rise from 18, by one year every year - Rishi Sunak

  • Nope, its not. You’re confusing having a right and having the freedom to do something. In one you have no constraint from the state to carry out an action, in the other you are entitled to something by society. Different things.

    • Smoking age should rise from 18, by one year every year - Rishi Sunak

    • Smoking age should rise from 18, by one year every year - Rishi Sunak

  • Oooohhh the right to smoke and be unhealthy... yeah that's not a right.

    • Smoking age should rise from 18, by one year every year - Rishi Sunak

  • Exactly what rights are you talking about?

    • Legal experts: Trump's unhinged attack on judge in court shows he "realizes he's going to lose"

  • He's known this for a while now. Its why he's been pushing for delays to his trials, so he can just get another chance at being elected and then never leaving power again.
