    That’s because these people are fucking dumb. There is no better reason for it. Just a bunch of dumb hicks.

    Suffer in torment, the lot of you.

      That’s because these people are fucking dumb

      Cipolla covered this, see #3 and #5 below. I am always guilty of #1 & #4


      These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:

      1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

      2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

      3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

      4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places, and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

      5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

      But they are dumb because our government failed them by cutting education. This is a feedback loop and will take generations of good policy to change. I agree if you won’t try to learn the truth then you are doomed to suffer.
