- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

So if all these intelligent people know better, then why do they still participate in the same nonsense system as everyone else?
First off, that response looks like you did not read or understand my comment at all.
Secondly, to be charitable and respond anyway, there just aren’t that many intelligent people in the world. They vote and participate in the system because it’s the right thing to do. What the fuck else are they supposed to, bud? They can’t just separate from the system.
Should we go back and argue on who counts as intelligent? Is that the part I missed?
I said: "A lot of MAGA are intelligent."
You said: "Nuh-uh."
Which part did I miss?
Exactly. I said they weren’t intelligent, and then you said “so if there are all these intelligent people…”
Like, which intelligent people? Who are you talking about?
Reading comprehension seems to be a problem for both of you.
I mean, I can understand each of you pretty easily here, but neither one of you seems to be able to do that.
It's probably just emotions getting in the way, though, I suppose. Sometimes Reddit arguments happen on Lemmy.. wel, more often lately
Seriously, you've read this exchange and believe Soup has a reading comprehension issue?
Yeah, ok — you're right that Lemmy definitely has a lot of reddit-brained people.
Honestly I just don't have much else to say. They can disagree with me if they want.
