What automatically makes you think people are idiots?

[FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods]

For me it’s:

people who think that Michael Jackson isn’t a pedophile.

people who say things like “Londanistan” “Bradfordistan”

People who say “If the Holocaust is real, why do the tattoo numbers only go up to 5 digits”

People who drive a Tesla.

People who start a thread on Mumsnet and don't come back to it.

People who have no idea what real misogyny is, but bandy the term about and accuse other women of it anyway.

People who put bottles sideways on a supermarket conveyor belt so they roll back and forth annoyingly.

The people at my place of work who chose our new accounts software.

That'll do for starters.

Anti vaxxers, Trump supporters, people who put up flags under the guise of ‘patriotism’, homopobics and people who use the words ‘hollibobs’ and ‘Famalam’. Oh and anyone who puts the word cheeky in front something they are doing.

People who post anti-vaxxer propaganda accompanied by a string of crying-with-laughter emojis aimed at those who vaccinate.

And people who respond to sensible comments about how we should try to limit the spread of viruses (not just Covid), and/or dare to suggest we should remain vigilant to the risks Covid and other viruses can pose to the vulnerable, with a string of crying-with-laughter emojis (sometimes including the ‘turned on side’ one if the poster is feeling particularly edgy. 🙄)

I’ve seen a fair few of the latter on MN, depressingly.

And pro lifers

Any racist, any extreme views (left or right), folk who are cruel to animals, people who believe in Farage, Robinson, Tate are the answer for anything. Antivaxxers, those who thought covid was transmitted through 5G. Those too that are so far down the rabbit hole that they refuse to see cold hard facts.

People who comment on social media without reading the post properly they have just highlighted and make stuff up, then go on the nasty.

People who don’t use critical thinking but just repeat soundbites with no reasoning behind it.
Those who support Trump or Farage for no other reason other than they say what they think and do what they said they would do.
conspiracy theorists unless backed by solid evidence.
Those who vote as protest regardless of impact. I.e Those who voted for Brexshit because they hated Cameron.

People who write ‘we was’ instead of ‘we were’.

People who think human beings can actually change sex.
People who think women and girls don’t deserve single sex spaces, sports, changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis groups.

People of a decent age who have very limited to zero general knowledge.
People who feign long term illness in the expectation the government will keep them. People who don’t send their kids to school. People who shout in public and don’t give a shit for anyone else. People who drop litter. People who fly tip. All idiots

People who have another child to "save their marriage" after the marriage suffered after the first child.

People who think they can change their "bad boy" man to be caring and responsible after marriage/children.

Anti-Vaxxers and covid deniers

Starmer/Reeves supporters

People who join MLM/pyramid schemes

People who think they'll become millionaires by becoming a social media influencer, you-tuber, etc.

Some supermarkets used to specify to do that on the conveyer belt. I am not sure if they still do-I always use the self-checkout.

Anyone who pronounces ‘Th’ as ‘F’

Someone who thinks only their view is correct, and think everyone else is wrong or stupid if they disagree or have a different view.

'People who think they know it all really annoy those of us who do'

I love that quote😂

There. Their. They're.

I'm not racist but...

Hun.

People who suggest paying off your mortgage if you’ve got extra money

Anyone who uses the term 'holibobs'.

MLM huns.

People who think a psychopathic megalomaniac would be ideal for President.

People who are proud to say they've never read a book.

Anti vaxxers have to be the top of the list really.

Flat earthers, moon landing deniers, people that believe the earth is a few thousand years old!

Anyone who watches Mrs Brown's Boys

People who believe in god or a spiritual aspect to life.
People who voted for Brexit.

Oh this is a shocker isn’t it. Boasting about your own ignorance.

People who say
"plants have feelings so vegans shouldn't eat them either cos it's cruel"

Yep. Especially when they're the least likely to ever be in that position or need those services.

People who refuse to see any nuance or middle ground in situations (social media TRAs and Mumsnet FWR posters, as an example)
