    When a political movement believes that ignorance is strength

    We’re in a timeline where Ogre from Revenge Of The Nerds has taken power over the country.

    Might does NOT make right. You’re ability to beat somebody up or otherwise dominate them physically does not determine the validity of your beliefs. You can think the moon is made of cheese, and you might be able to beat into submission anyone who disagrees with you, but it won’t change the fact that the MOON ISN’T MADE OF FUCKING CHEESE!

    Ignorance is NOT strength. Ignorance does NOT make you stronger, it makes you WEAKER.

    I just don’t know how we get them to understand this. Somehow we have to get through to them, before they wreck everything.

      The Nazis only learnt to understand it once they lost according to their own frame of reference, ie., they were beaten up by those they deemed ‘weak’.

      Yeah that happened in 1776. Literal enslavers concocting their regime.

        That not what I learned in school. Our founding fathers were the smartest, bravest, and most honorable people ever! /S
