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”

Snob.

When posters keep attacking one person and there's several joining in. Gross.

😄

People who start threads which then provoke others to feel they have free rein to be judgey. All they have to do is list what they think, not give explanations and examples why!
Parents who are oblivious to the fact that their children are annoying others.
People who jump in immediately with insults on things they deem as "crackpot theories", refusing point blank to research or consider another theory apart from their own.
Needy people.
Holocaust deniers.
People who acquire and then get rid of pets like they're just throwaway things.
Fox hunters, badger baiters, hare coursers etc and their supporters.
People who cannot talk without inserting "like" or "you know" after every few words.
Likewise, people who end every single sentence with "know what I mean?"
Electric vehicle owners.
Women who still can't cut the apron strings when their children have fled the nest.
People who buy medications online that have neither been prescribed by their GP nor passed legislation for use in the UK.
Driving instructors who don't teach their pupils correct indication or correct use of headlights. I follow them all the time and it's ridiculous.

I agree. While I can't help slightly cringing (inwardly) when people don't know the difference between you're and your, I am also fully aware that I make lots of typos and most of the time it is blindingly obvious when someone means 'you're' but writes 'your'. I'd rather they feel comfortable and confident about getting their message across. Although obviously if it's a professional document or a publication, it
Is important to get it right - that's what proofreading is for.

I feel like that could be set to the tune of ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’ with a bit of rhythmic tweaking… 😄

I tend to just assume that most adult Disney fans are probably neurodivergent in some way.

People who think that you can change sex.

People who believe in ghosts, psychics or heaven.

Literally anyone who shares pro-Reform shite on social media

People who say Transwomen are women

Pronouns in your email signature/ SM bio

Ha I do for good reason.

I have been told numerous times on MN that i am naive or 'full of shit'. I tend to conclude that people who launch into a personal attack (even a mild one) rather than present facts, figures and logical arguments are either lazy or not that bright. I enjoy a proper respectful debate, which takes much more effort than hurling insults.

This - see also:

’It needs done’
’I want even doing anything’ (instead of wasn’t)
‘Are Stacey’ (rather than our)

People who have to run everything by chat gpt

people who respond to mumsnet threads with chat gpt answers

This.
The instant I see or hear this I’m afraid I assume the person is poorly educated/thick.

People who moan on anon forums
about gym users walking on treadmills instead of doing very serious running

People who say myself or yourself.
Anti vaxxers
People who say 'can I get"

People who wear white gym socks over leggings. Looks dumb.
People who wear the massive black glasses in vogue now. Looks cartoonish and dumb.
People who have big feet (especially men with hairy feet) who wear sandals. Looks like Hobbit feet and dumb.
People who lift weights so that they develop huge bum and thigh muscles (mostly women). Looks dumb and cartoonish.

They were literally called 'National Socialists' and supported state control and state intervention, which appealed to a working class base. Hitler repeatedly referred to himself and his policies as socialist and socialism.

However, it's significantly different to socialism in western Europe in 2026.

On your last point can i add but are oddly silent on other wars. Not trendy enough perhaps?

If it's the placebo effect, that proves that homeopathy doesn't work.

Lack of critical thinking - people just believing something seen on Facebook or similar and not thinking about who made the post or why

Flat earthers - you can see the curvature of the earth from an aeroplane and also science!

People who think the world trade centre towers were purposely demolished by the US government - usually these people suggest it because they think the government needed and excuse to go to war, it was a horrific event and if the twin towers hadn’t collapsed it would still have been a horrific event - logically it doesn’t make sense to have demolished them

People who believe in God, fairies, ghosts, fortune telling, mediums
Women in the west who wear niqabs, headscarves, the whole "women must cover up" bullshit, women who make their girl children wear headscarves - obeying rules made up by men to restrict women is as stupid as it gets, especially since women in Iran Pakistan and Afghanistan are being killed for refusing.
Women who stand by abusive men "he never did it to me"
