One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.
I don’t give a fuck how I sound. Personally attacking me doesn’t work. All you anti-intellectualist dipshits have to bring to the table are dumb personal attacks, red herrings, and temper tantrums whenever you’re told you need to know basic facts, and understand things you clearly don’t, and the rest of us are sick of it.
Be a fucking adult for once in your lives.
Well you had me fooled, given that you seem to think what you’re saying is so important
I wanna dig into this, please elaborate on your adult ideal
Oh look at that, no substantive argument defending openly rejecting learning, just more viciousness and vitriol because that’s all ignorant motherfuckers like you know how to do when confronted with your own flaws. Knock me over with a feather.
Die mad. You’re doing wrong being willfully ignorant and you’re doubly wrong for defending something so harmful and dangerous. You’re not going to bully me into shutting up simply because you don’t want to hear the truth.
You have to know basic shit and most importantly, want to learn to be a meaningful participant in a fucking democracy. We’re trying to run a society here. We have no time for your ignorance. You’ve caused enough suffering and destruction as it is.
Look at how upset you are, at something that’s totally out of your control. So much anger, I could drown in it. Maybe try to focus on more positive emotions.
I wanna focus in on this statement. Do you say hurtful things like this because maybe deep down you’re afraid that you’ll die angry, angry at things that are completely out of your control? This is a very natural fear so don’t be afraid to admit it.
Wow I didn’t even need to quote two sentences of yours to expose your hypocrisy. You managed to do it in the span of ten words.
But just to drive the point home, this was you a couple comments ago:
Like, you’re spewing vitriol. Do you really not see that?
You showed yours in four.
You showed yours the second you opened your mouth defending dumbasses in here while completely ignoring their own brand of vitriol, and offering up your own as a consequence.
You show yours when you couldn’t be assed to look at my post history for five minutes like a decent concern troll. 🤦
You’re literally doing it right now, looking for a cheap gotcha moment, and when you read this and find out it didn’t work because I am openly an asshole, you’re going to whine and complain, and I’m gonna sit here and shake my head right along with OP.
You are on the wrong side of history and you are actively helping to destroy not only the U.S. but the rest of the developed world with your garbage and you give not one single fuck as long as you can use stupid people – and I emphasize stupid people – to virtue signal.
Grow up.
There’s no hypocrisy indicated in the two sentences you quoted; indeed there’s no conflict between them.
Where there is a conflict is between shaming me for insulting people (Did I? Where?), in the same sentence that you insult me.
You’re literally defending anti-intellectualist dumbshits throughout the thread. Most of your posts are vitriolic. You came in here with an attitude, and when others called you out on it, you assaulted them with the same tired old thought-terminating cliches and personal attacks every anti-intellectualist abuses others with. It’s old, it’s tiresome, it’s destructive, and you really really need to go do something better with your time on this earth than enabling people to be stupid with no social consequences.
You’re doing it everywhere. And you don’t realize what you’re doing because you don’t think about what you’re saying, and you don’t think about what you’re saying because you don’t care about the truth. Like all anti-intellectuals.
Well, the rest of us do, and we have a country to run and lives to live. You need to go touch grass. We’ll simply move on without you.
