    Maybe it’s less about the need to be the smartest person in the room and more about peddling dangerous disinformation?

    This is literally how the Republican party in the USA functions, by purposefully being so brain-dead that we spend all our time explaining why they’re wrong and they just happily keep doing stupid fucking shit and expect us to protect them from themselves all the while. The Republicans regularly villainize “smart” people, the educated, academia, and “the ivory tower.” They hate facts and evidence. So now being smart enough to try to stop stupid people from being stupid is a bad thing, huh?

    It’s not funny or clever, it’s literally the same attitude behind conservatives trying to upset liberals. They would happily eat a pile of shit if they knew a liberal had to smell their breath. It’s fucking insipid and stupid and in no way is funny or cute or what the fuck ever. There’s zero ideology behind it except trying to upset other people, because they’ve got nothing the fuck else in their lives.

    I don’t care if it’s a joke, they’re scum. It’s a “joke” in the same way “it was just a joke bro” comes from Nazis.

    We literally had people eating parasite-killing horse-paste during COVID instead of taking actual fucking vaccines directed at the disease, and that happened because of bullshit exactly the fuck like this.

      Sure, but at some point you need to acknowledge that though you can lead a horse to water, you can’t stick their hoof in the barrel of a gun to stop a bullet.

        If the barrel is big enough for the hoof to fit snuggly it’ll stop the bullet.

          Unlike a person, a horse’s hoof will totally only fit in an elephant gun or a howizer, everyone knows that the elephant gun bullets only stop if the elephant puts their trunk in the barrel and the horse would need to be on a ladder for the howitzer. Horses can’t climb ladders, silly.

      But the bullet would stop though because of the finger.

      I think it’s probably fair to say that suggesting that a finger in the barrel of a gun would stop a bullet is a least 10x, if not 100x, worse than the Nazis.
