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”

Hear, Hear! 👏

The 'Free Palestine Brigade' who are UK born and bred and couldn't point out Palestine on a world map.

The Just Stop Oil types. Over privileged, middle class, trust fund types who glue themselves to the road, and the like...

Anyone who is a social justice warrior.

Anyone who is far left.

Anyone who is far right.

Anyone who thinks Social Housing is free, and everyone who is in social housing is unemployed. (People who think this are a special kind of dim!)

The recent trend of leaving words out of a sentence, e.g. "I'm going gym"

You're going to the gym (FFS...)

Also
Speeders
People who say 'go on, one won't hurt' or think 'one won't hurt' when they're going to be driving.
People who block pavements with their parking so wheelchairs & pushchairs can't pass.
Drivers who harass learner drivers.

Men who wolf whistle at women
People who attend big events when they're ill.
Covid Deniers

Very on topic - anyone who thinks Renee Good & Alex Pretti weren't murdered.

People who preach about diet/food
Anyone who says "Eat less/exercise more"
Anyone who asks if i've tried yoga/pilates (my chronic illness peeps will get this one)

Very niche - Anyone who goes on Animal Accounts on Social Media and tells the owners of said animals they're doing stuff wrong/accuses them of abusing their animals when its shetland ponies, or Huskies/Malamutes being outside in the snow... or Livestock Guardian dogs that live outside/in the barn with the animals they're protecting.

On that note - People who keep Livestock Guardian Dogs and other Working Breeds as house pets, don't exercise them or enrich them properly, then moan the dog is reactive, neurotic, aggressive and destructive.

Also anti - vaxxers
Anyone who uses "cis", pronouns, (especially the they themmers), anyone who says "non binary" with a straight face or claims that people can "change sex", or goes on about "gender".
Huge tattoos on face, arms, legs etc
Nose or lip piercings
People who still smoke tobacco
People who still think it's cool and clever to smoke weed
Men who call each other "bro" and do stupid hand shakes /fist bumps

Oh dear, much judginess 😱
i just know i can't respect anyone who does any of these , i think they are just 🐑🐑🐑🐑

People who idle their cars, and even more so outside school gates, parks, and anywhere children are walking.

Boy racers

Antivaxers are taking a bashing!! Im fully vaccinated and so are my children, but I have to admit I now know a few people who have been severely injured by the Covid vaccine and it has made me think…. (runs for cover!!!)

i'm not counting the covid or flu jab in my stance on ant-vaxxers, i think those are personal choice.. the childhood vaccines are not and shouldn't be.

People who think that Covid is just a cold.

People who use the term ‘boomer’ and who think that said ‘boomers’ all behave exactly the same, think the same way and all had it easy financially. I’m not from that generation by the way. I’m just pissed off on their behalf.

Anti abortionists. Never met one who had two brain cells to rub together.

Eye opening thread - it seems people generally think others are idiots if they have a different perspective from themselves. I reckon that's who I judge as being an idiot.

People who think conspiracy theorists are stupid whilst living in a world with Epstein files.

Anyone with extreme political views and that’s both ends of the political spectrum

People who end sentences/arguments with "end of". With special mention for anyone who writes "end off".

People who think because something happened to a mate of theirs, that that invalidates years of scientific research.
People who think they've done years of scientific research because they've watched a few Youtube videos.

Who made you the judge of AI use? AI is very handy if used properly. With properly being the operative word. Saves some initial research time and helps steer you to the right place, and you can always fact check.

Would you have told a librarian sitting on the enquiries desk in the pre-internet days that people should be using their own brains and research skills themselves and not bothering the librarian?

I love AI for trip planning. It's very useful for some things especially checking timings or or making suggestions for plans and itineraries and asking it "which is the better option?". An example: I nearly booked a connecting flight last week at Dublin airport which probably wouldn't work with the arrival time of my previous flight on a different airline, and certain conditions happening together. Without AI I wouldn't have known that on that day of the week security lines are much longer, airline arrival history suggested that delays on the first flight could be likely, it was 2 different terminals, the second airline has a very strict departure gate closing time so no last minute running through etc etc, and there was a real risk to not catching the second flight which on paper to me seemed to be at a perfectly reasonable time.

Yes, I could have done all that research separately myself but AI was able to tell me in 2 minutes and I booked a later connecting flight as a result. I've legged it through Dublin airport before after a delayed flight from the US and it was bloody stressful trying to make sure we made the connectint flight. We made it, but our luggage didn't and I didn't want to go through that again on this tirp.

Anyone who thinks Long Covid, ME, and Fibromyalgia are made up when scientific research are proving they're very real.

Antivaxxers

Trump and Farage supporters

People who think ICE are acting reasonably in America and don't see the glaring patterns of history repeating themselves.

People who say "there wasn't any of this autism years ago".

Incels bleating about the male loneliness epidemic.

People ignoring the VAWG epidemic.

Yeah pretty much all these

This morning on the train. A guy and his girlfriend refused to get off to let people they were blocking off (there would have been plenty of space to get back on as it's a school stop). So everyone had to push past them.

He said sarcastically to me "well it'd be convenient for you if I got off!" I mean yes, but DUH mate! Also for you? Because then you can be on your way too?!

Just realised most of mine are politics related.

I tend not to judge things like poor grammar or spelling, slow reaction times, lack of general common sense as I'm aware there may be reasons for these things so I don't judge.
