Idiots Defined

Back again with more wit and wisdom from Remulak at the MoxArgon blog, this time on a subject near and dear to my heart, idiots. There seem to be many more of these animals on the leftist, socialist side of the political spectrum. I think Remulak hits an important point here...idiots don't live that long because they lack the imagination and foresight to see threats coming down the road from a distance. Worse yet, they blindly following emoooootions and feeeeelings without considering the consequences that will inevitably, naturally flow from so doing, and then they act surprised when the disasters they explicitly invited come home to roost.

"Greetings puny Earthlings.

As you've probably noticed the media has begun downplaying the threat presented by the Dix 6 of New Jersey. Various MSM brain trusts like MSNBC's Keith Olbermann are writing them off completely as some sort of harmless idiots who are being blown out of proportion by the Bush- Hitler- Zionist- Halliburton conspiracy. But don't take my word for, take it straight from the horse's arse mouth:

Now I'd to say something to Mr. Olbermann and his ilk. A lesson if you will:

IDIOTS ARE VERY DANGEROUS

It's true, just look at Snotglob trying to drive a hovercar and you'll know, but since you're Earthlings and by definition dumber than a sack Bolarean Weevil droppings I'll explain.

IDIOTS ARE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE....

...IDIOTS HAVE A POOR SENSE OF SELF PRESERVATION.

You see, the average idiot has a very weak notion of that thing that sets sentient beings apart from the dumb, and often tasty, animals. That is a knowledge of their own mortality. Idiots spend most of their time unable to acknowledge that their course of action will result in their death. So they do stupid things, and...

...IDIOTS CAN'T GRASP THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS.

The common idiot lacks the imagination or empathy to fully grasp the suffering that their actions will create, losing them in chants of 'That'll be so cool.' And when smarter people try to warn them of the dangers, more often than not the idiot won't believe them, or in the case of the malicious idiot in relation to the feelings of others, not care. This means...

... IDIOTS ARE EASILY MANIPULATED.

Idiots live within the moment, and think only of the instant gratification of their ego or appetites. This means that they can be led along the garden paths by smarter people who know how to appeal that ego/appetite combination. This turns out to be easier than you think, whether it's through direct manipulation or the indirect influence of a negative ideology. Why is it so easy? That's because...

... IDIOTS DON'T KNOW THEY ARE IDIOTS.

Idiots believe that they are right, and that everyone else is trying to oppress them or 'harsh their mellow' with their demands for good behaviour. This leads the idiot to hatch seemingly mad plans that can't succeed, but could still lead to suffering, and that doesn't include idiots who are acting with the malicious intent to cause suffering. For malicious idiots the suffering of others is the end product, and they're dumb enough to think that they are smart enough to get away with it. So anything they do will result in harm to somebody, unless they are stopped.

I hope that's cleared it up for you folks."
