People want evil, simple as that.

No they want bread and circus. But bread costed too much so here come the clowns.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

How fucking low do you have to be to be a volunteer clown for the fucking circus?

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 days ago

American level low.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

MAGAts are not as evil as they are stupid.

I have never really seen that postulate as practical in the real world. I prefer my own ~~version~~ (EDIT: addendum; failed to describe properly):

Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by monetary profit.

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I always go with if the results of the stupidity are indistinguishable from malice, you can go ahead and attribute it to malice.

That explains the position of the higher-ups in the party, but the voter? The voter is not profit-driven, the voter is just fucking stupid.

And racist and hateful, and lastly they’re stupid and lazy. Go back to football you dumb cunts you’re fucking up the entire world

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They are racist because they are too stupid to understand that immigrants are helping their economy much more than they are hurting it.

They are hateful because they are too stupid. They hate what they can't comprehend (which is pretty much everything outside their small bubble).

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Stupid doesn’t automatically lead to hateful

That has to be taught or trained in, which is the issue I take with these hateful trash “people”

They’re monsters who create monsters who vote for monsters

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It doesn't lead automatically to hateful, it however helps a lot. It's much easier to turn a stupid person into a hateful one than to do it with an educated person.

[–] lIlIlIlIlIlIl@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

OK, sure whatever.

The point is these voters aren’t just ignorant, they’re behaving in a way they were embarrassed about 10-15 years ago, and now they’re “out.” They can not and will not be given a pass that they’re just “not bright enough to be civil.” Fuck that to the moon

They’re despicable awful hateful people who leverage their authority to hurt innocent people. Period

Oh but I don't excuse them because they aren't bright, I'm just saying that they are ignorant awful assholes thanks to their stupidity. I wish them the worst and I'm hoping for an awful fall of their country so that the rest of the world can have some peace.

I root for anything that could harm the magats as much as the next guy!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

also very sexist.

[–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 days ago

That's where the "malice" part of the original kicks in. I failed to note in my post that my own version is an addendum to the rule, not a replacement.

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

If your choices and actions consistently hurt other people, and you refuse to listen when people point it out and change your ways, then you're evil. No matter how stupid you are.

There are plenty of dumb and/or ignorant people who are kind and generous and who are not fucking bigots who make life hell for everyone around them.

Edit, typo

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

Malicious people must just adore that fucking phrase.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

That's the problem they're evil because theyre too dumb to know what they're doing
