    Jesus, there’s some real intellectual elitism being displayed in this thread. Like I understand that the American education system is shitty and a large portion of the population is just functionally literate, and I understand the frustration of having to deal with those types of people and having to explain things to them. But, that’s one thing, it’s another completely different thing to call them idiots or see them as lesser. They’re most likely not idiots, it probably just means they has less help and/or less experiences than you did as a kid to better understand some of the things you did. You should never look down upon someone for being less intelligent or less educated than you. Those things are not the entirety of what make up a person’s worth. There’s things like creativity, emotional intelligence, etc. Everyone deserves the same base level of respect, and if you think you’re the smartest person in a room bar none, you’re actually the idiot.
