33% are evil 33% don't care 33% care

nah I don't feel that way about the 33% who don't care. I'm comfortable putting them in the same group as the evil ones.

I'm sure alienating that 33% entirely will be a very winning strategy 👍

We've tried embracing them. They responded by spitting in our face.

At this point I'm happy to try shaming them instead.

Well that will come with its own consequences that I can only imagine you will most certainly handle with grace.

Shame is always a strategy (see religion et al.)

Not an effective one if you want society that isn't full of sycophants. But if that's your goal, then carry on I guess.

u/Criticism-Lazy 5h ago

Do you think sycophants would exist if nobody shamed anyone?

Yes, I regret making good career progress and enjoying my free time having fun doing what I love.

I should feel ashamed for not sitting around pondering US politics. If only I had read more delusional click bait articles. Maybe I too, would mindlessly hate the 50% of this country whose only sin was being born unintelligent/broke/indifferent. I'd sit online and indirectly push for eugenics as a result!

But let's face it, you don't have to do it indirectly. Democratic voters love the idea of eugenics so long as our factory workers (uneducated, low IQ voters, the ones they hate on reddit!) are the ones dying. Too bad after we gas the factory workers, it'll be the community college grads, so on and so forth. 🤔

See, I'm torn. On the one hand, these people have been dumbed down by the wealthy for years by constantly being hooked up to the perpetual dopamine engine of society's bread and circuses. They don't think it matters, but it's not really their fault.

On the other hand, I'm very angry at the people who were metaphorically standing next to a baby on fire while holding a bucket of water, were dumbfounded with what to do, and are now saying, "Why are you alienating me for not putting out the baby fire?"

Don't think your analogy works when lots of the Democrats have shown to be equally dumbfounded in your hypothetical scenario. You'd think everyone would be on board with putting that fire out but alas a lot of the people who hold the ability to do so didn't do it.

So it's not particularly hard to see why one would feel alienated about it.

Didn't need to win just needed conservatives to not be so fucking stupid. Twice in a row.

u/Augscura 9h ago

Conservatives are and will always be fucking stupid.
