the war on idiocy
In my weaker moments, I imagine that the arc of human civilization is sweeping gently upward, and we are all becoming better, more intelligent beings.
And then I see something like this, and I am reminded that we are the same nasty and brutish things we have always been.
City Councilors advocating murder, hysterical screaming, chants of “USA, USA”…yes, this video truly has it all. It kind of reminds me of another time where a bunch of people made up a bunch of stupid nonsense about another group of people, then used it to justify all sorts of monstrous violence. But we’ve learned since then, right?
Right?
Thanks to GA for the link.
