MODERATORS
“They would never, it would be such a bad idea!” - a phrase that I keep hearing but keeps being wrong. If people were vaguely smart they’d be out voting, and they surely wouldn’t be voting for the far right. Instead they’re just repeating that phrase like it’ll be different this time because they refuse to acknowledge that people are dumb and/or struggle greatly with basic moral principles. To that end, I’d also argue that calling people who underestimate stupid people non-stupid are themselves part of that group, just a different flavour of moron.
