Another exhibit in the "Politics makes people stupid" collection. They are an eternal fount.
Later, I had a guy from Australia, who claimed to be a legal expert with a high IQ, lecturing me and others about how the Constitution only gave us the right to have some weapons, but not semi-autos (and others he didn't like), because those aren't "arms", and that the Supreme Court had ruled this way in both Heller and Bruen.
He was way out of his league and didn't realize it until it was too late to save his dignity. He ran away to a chorus of laughter and ridicule. I didn't pile on that time.
Sometimes I feel a little sorry for these people. Not a lot, but a little.

I tend of have some sympathy, at least initially, giving them the benefit of the doubt as I know that they've been through 12 years or more of brainwashing and maleducation. But so many of them are arrogant in their ignorance, and stubbornly cling to stupidity in spite of facts, that I don't remain sympathetic for very long.
ReplyDeleteAfter this exchange, the socialist denied being a socialist and said I was mind-reading. I said I was only going by what they were advocating.
DeleteYesterday, I encountered a "conservative" who believes he is owed a job, believes I'm in favor of government funding AI to replace human employees, and am a member of the LP.
However low your opinion of the average human's intelligence, remember half of them are dumber than that.
