The sheep can't hear you over the sound of munching grass. The cattle have no care for what their bells say.
You show me how to eradicate wilful ignorance and deliberate belligerence and I'll show you a functional society.
It might as well be a broken translator.
You can lead a troglodyte to knowledge but you can't make them think.
I dunno, your doom and gloom shit is pretty old
You can think theres no hope if you like, but kindly shut the fuck up about it if youre not interested in trying to fix things.
No one is ignoring reality.
You can acknowledge shits fucked without falling into dispair about how utterly pointless and unfixable it is.
Its not unfixable.
I dont give a shit if youve got depression dude, get a therapist or meds. The world isnt over, and your doom and gloom bullshit isnt helping improve the situation.
Youre literally throwing a piss party, and getting upset at being told to quit pissing yourself in public.
You arent pointing out reality, youre acting like a loser who just got dumped
You mean "anyone who wont pout with me is stupid, only smart people lie down and slowly die"
You can go ahead and do that bud, I just want you to shut up while you do it
Your little pity party is not reality bud, your therapist will help your grasp that
Of course you miss the point. Thanks for being the perfect example.
My translator doesn't have the "pompous cliché" language pack installed so I'm afraid idk what you said there.
I'm sure you hold that wilful ignorance in high regard.
Likewise with your disdain for us normies. Have a fulfilling day :)
If normies are wilfully ignorant and intentionally belligerent, then yes. Anyone with an iota of cognizance would have disdain for that. But don't cry about being what you are, if you don't like it be different.
You can argue about willful and intentional. Political corruption gives evil people a means with which to undermine education. Not a hard concept.
Lack of education undermines democracy, wilful ignorance undermines personal intelligence, deliberate belligerence undermines communication.
Ones own ignorance can be eliminated by their own actions alone.
To remain uneducated is to hate democracy.
