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 voted Labour then were surprised by tax increases and those who are still defending Starmer

People who can’t spell or punctuate.
People who have views taken from social media and don’t bother to research the actual facts

Reform supporters. People who say pacific in opposed to specific.

Unfairly, when people call WhatsApp, Wassup.

People who fall for foreign romance scammers.
People who believe conspiracy theories.
People who pay good money for hideous acrylic nails and extra idiotic if they pay more for lumpy decorations to be stuck on them.

I also call myself stupid because sometimes I’ve judged people on grammar not knowing it’s a regional thing. I am the idiot.

When I read the published e mails sent by Sarah Ferguson to Epstein and by Baroness Mone to the owner of the yacht hers had collided with. Entitled, illiterate and incapable of lucid thought.

People that used to make a duck pout in pictures.

Have you ever seen the daytime TV show “For Love or Money”?

Absolute shower of thick thick people who think a drop dead gorgeous American 19yo fancies their 55yo arse, and sends them thousands to be able to come over, despite never having had a successful FaceTime with them. One guy said “But she sent me a copy of her passport to show she’s a real person” and poor Kym Marsh had to tell him, with a straight face, that the passport is fake and it says that the woman was born only 11 years ago 😂😂

People who go on marches waving flags and chanting about other people.
People who post cartoons and tropes about entire groups or races
People who think Trump or Farage or Polanski orJohnson or whoever, will save them from whichever imaginary enemies these charlatans have vilified.
Ugh. People make me sad.

I attend a free speech phylosophy session a few weeks ago.

What made me think I can't go to another was people showed an abject lack of intelligence because they stated their opinion like it was fact and were telling me and everyone else if we disagreed we were stupid...
'Only humans have feelings/emotions' really....
'Women' are more interested in 'conversations about emotions versus men' when the list of contributors names showed otherwise.
'Grok is bad AI. It is responsible for undressing women and children' when we know it did what a human asked it to do.
I could go on....

In fact in that room, everyone thought they were intelligent and sadly, that just wasn't true. Few people used facts, loads asked more questions than tried to answer the question and some failed to contribute to the discussion all.

I'm not the most intelligent person in a room either, but still.

Yes - the placebo effect works. Homeopathy doesn't.

Gotta love those phylosophy sessions.

People who do not understand the science of human induced climate change

People who vote reform

People who like Nigel Farage

People who like Tommy Robinson and his ilk

People who put flags on lampposts and paint roundabouts and stand outside hotels shooting at people!

People who are racist or misogynistic

People who do not believe in evolution

People who are anti vaxers

People who do not believe in receiving blood donations, who would rather watch a loved one die

People who drink and drive

People who drug drive

People who comment of posts online as trolls

People who like Elon Musk

People who like Andrew Tate

People who believe in red pill / blue pill

People who are homophobic and Transphobic

People who do not believe in God but baptise/ christen children to send them to a faith school

People who are rude and derogatory to staff in the public or hospitality sectors

People who complain about the government and can’t be bothered to vote

People who treat / consider all teenagers to be trouble

There are many more… but that’s probably my highlights!

I work in fast food. All life is there........

People who start their Mumsnet posts with "I've done my own research and..."

Yep : people who line Trump, Farage and his bunch of gargoyles, religious fundamentalists, people who can’t string a sentence together, people who drive massive 4 x 4s.

Please who exercise a lot and have to announce it the whole world, ‘never miss a Monday!’ Urgh…

I think you are. How dare you vilify a large percentage of the country who would gladly vote reform right now how can you be so closed minded?

People who think that anyone with different political views to them is stupid.

People who think that anyone who doesn't share their ideologies is stupid.

People like you, OP.

A “large percentage” of the country also voted Tory in 2019 and for Brexit. Just because lots of people are as thick as shit, doesn’t make them any less thick.

Posters that begin their response with “Erm…”

You don’t look like a big thinker so much as a bit of a dick.

Me too. 🤝

Conspiracy theorists....i don't care how much supposed research you think you've done, you're still an idiot. Their sources- online echo chambers and 'this bloke down the pub said'....!

There's one on Facebook who writes everything in capital letters. I was so tempted to tell him his latest rant had already been debunked.

The fact that Love Island is still on TV and people still watch it. No wonder a lot of stupid phrases have become common knowledge. Also anyone takes anyone from that show seriously.

People who talk during concerts. Actually they shout so their friend can hear them, and of course friend shouts back. Nightmare.
