If you were to extend the criteria on intellectual average to the entire first-world (where education is ubiquitous), more than half the people in the USA are below average.

Most leftists have utter disdain for those who don't think like them.


I'm not sure about the "most" part, but some certainly do.

Of course, the exact same thing could be said about those on the right in their disdain for those on the left.

N'est-ce pas?

Those 'academics and leftists' often speak of the Dunning-Kreuger effect.

Then there is the inverse effect, where the highly qualified are likely to underestimate their capability, out of humility and a compassionate overestimation in presumption of the skills of others.

Both are due to a false-consensus effect. Such as those who read a few online posts that seem to agree with their opinions, and so they assume that those with conflicting opinions are lone voices.

Political radicalization would not work if there was not false-consensus operant.

I don't have a degree in sht but I can hold a paralegal position (likely even represent someone in court), calculate to the 100th how much fluid it takes to flush chemicals out of the lines on the final stage of a frac job, I can do all the plumbing and electric work needed to install a whole home standby generator, I'm constantly having to correct simple grammar mistakes when I debate educators, and many other things I can do.

I'm one of the unintelligent people those losers are talking about. Big LOL at them for irony. I'll hire common sense and experience over college degrees any day.

Funny the candidate who says tax the rich - has them all on her side ....



Yep, and most on the left aren't intelligent enough to wonder why billionaires and millionaires support the party claiming that they'll tax the rich.

You wanna take more of my money that I earned? Hell yes please!, said no rich person ever.

Your funny dude, many of those "unintelligent" people can fix a car, plant and tend crops, do plumbing, electrical work etc..

School time cannot encompass all aspects of intelligence.

You really should let go of your hate, you will be happier.


when you look into your bucket of stuff, and find you only have hate, stupid, and a large pile of dumb ass, it's likely best to lead with the hate.

Okay, I'm probably going to ruffle some feathers, but I have a very serious question. Why do people like Maher, Lebowitz, and Harari believe they are intellectually superior to men and women like me?


Leftists are usually the biggest bigots in the room.

That is a textbook form of bigotry. They hate an entire group of people based on nothing but stereotypes.

It's also ironic as hell because leftists think they hate bigots.

Leftists embrace and practice bigotry on a regular basis.

I disagree. Those who are not leftists have a variety of positions which differ even among ourselves.

Those on the left, however, have an ideological sense that is similar to Islamic fanaticism.

Who was the ugly hag saying we should go to WWII over Ukraine? Is she going to strap on a gun and go fight?

Case in point, look how fast the word Weird went around as the latest way to describe Vance and others. This is from a group that makes carnies look normal. They all start chanting the same thing within a very short period, it is almost discerning to watch. The reality is this is their new way of saying deplorables.

It's rather rich for the Democrats to be whining about the hurricanes being politicized after what they did during Covid, the way they exploited all that suffering to win the last election. # them.

New Zealand’s Lesbian Navy Captain Loses $100M Naval Ship in Peacetime Disaster – Ship Runs Aground, Catches Fire, and Sinks, Unleashing Oil Spill off Samoa Coast


Stupid is stupid does


Of course the gutter-press like The Gateway Pundit would try and lay blame on someone because the captain was a lesbian. The truth is, no-one was killed or hurt, everyone was evacuated successfully, and the Captain was actually commended for her responses to the accident.

Do you think the ship sunk due to someone's sexual preference?

What the Gateway Pundit article doesn't tell you is that the ship was a research vessel, actually doing a survey of the reefs when it struck the reef and ran aground. It is one of the risks of such research.

You, by reference to the Gateway Pundit article, are citing a single instance, as if it somehow condemns a particular lifestyle preference.

That sort of irrational guilt-by-association is what is really stupid.

And you just ambled right in there, almost as if you have not even given the facts of the matter a single iota of your attention and you just gullibly swallowed what the propaganda source offered.

Now THAT indicates a serious deficiency in understanding and in common sense.

Stupid IS as stupid does.

New Zealand’s navy lost its first ship since World War II after the HMNZS Manawanui sank on a reef off the coast of Samoa on Sunday creating a potential environmental disaster in waters used for fishing and tourism.

Yes, it does happen all the time:

But apparently, not in New Zealand, with only one Naval wreck since WWII.
