I get you - and am the same. I hold little to nothing against someone unable to learn... but that's not what I am talking about. Imagine someone with an IQ of 50, who decides to pass themselves off as a doctor - you go in for brain surgery and, whoopsie, you get your event taken care of "at a reduced price". Nobody blames someone who is authentically stupid - and if that sounds bad, note that I include myself first among that category:-) - until and unless they step up and decide to become a LEADER. The latter carries with it a societal obligation to do better, than us mere peasants.

Put another way, if you are going to perform literal and actual and fully physical violence against an establishment such as the government of the United States of America (i.e. becoming one who acts rather than being acted upon), then you might want to start with actually reading the document that you are about to overthrow. It does no good to sleep with it under your pillow - you need to pull it out and actually READ it for it to do any good! Although many who were there have self-admitted that they have not in fact read it, even so much as once.

Likewise, more people died in the USA from the recent pandemic than all wars combined. Much of that was preventable, and quite frankly we don't even (nor will ever) know precisely how many are directly attributable to that, b/c those stats were deliberately fudged and forbidden to be counted. The same with school shootings - we counted at one point that there were more "mass events" (involving 5+ people) than there were calendar years, but the government is specifically prohibited from collecting this data, so once again we'll never truly know the extent, only lower-bound estimates (which are already shockingly high). Also people have already died from the ham-handed prevention of "abortion", that somehow includes cancerous masses, dead fetuses (from natural miscarriages) with necrotic tissue rotting away (but can't remove either b/c that could be considered an "abortion"), ectopic "pregnancies", and other life-threatening situations, which are nowhere close to the medical definition of "abortion", yet to the lawmakers (some of whom claim that babies cannot be produced from a rape - I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP - b/c "God has a way of shutting that whole thing down there in the case of rape") are too unintelligent to understand anything at all about what is going on.

However, nobody is that stupid, as to e.g. see Trump wear a mask, then turn around and claim to others that he does not wear masks. We have long ago crossed that line, from "stupidity" to "obstinacy". This is cognitive dissonance, yes likely imposed upon people from others (e.g. Putin), but also willfully held onto by many.

And here is proof: a video by Kurzegatcht that is only 11-minutes long that explains why people should take the vaccine. This is VERY understandable. Anyone who watches this would INSTANTLY understand the situation fully - and it's only 11-minutes long, so for something that could save a life, and possibly that of every one of your family members - is not too much to ask. And yet... people did not do it.

Moreover, much of the subject matters involved in all of what I mentioned above don't even need a video of even 1 minute to explain - e.g. to say that "kids getting shot in schools all across the nation" is... what is is again? good? no wait, bad, yeah, that's it, that's a bad thing!... right?!

That's not stupidity - that's stubbornness.
