You don't have to be stupid to be apathetic.
Who said you do?
Ok, I just did.
In my example I'm talking about people who play along but really don't care.
A totally apathetic person..I'm not talking about them, they don't fit into the discussion.
For this purpose they are invisible they don't play into it one way or the other.
You could argue they are stupid for not caring though or maybe it's a gamble - that's stupid as well
It's simple.
For a long time, people stayed in their lane. They knew what they knew and when they didn't they would defer to someone who did.
And now we see uneducated Americans who want to feel important, and facebook has given them their own virtual soapbox. Someone gives them a like and now that makes them an authority in their minds.
Boys, it's time to return to monke.
I dunno, people have also always seemed to have a favorite topic they love talking about.
The last few decades everybody has been an economist.
I've met tons of people long before Facebook that have a prize acceptance speech about how they are self made.
Now with the virus everyone has become a virologist.
We all like talking about what the role of government should be or if we even need one at all.
Everybody seemed to be an expert of Afghanistan a few months ago.
Social media has certainly emboldened them and made it acceptable but they've become obnoxious about it, stubborn even.
Guess it's equal opportunity, why not? You should have an equal representation in a workplace of your society.
But before them people who are unqualified and perform poorly cement their positions over them.
If its OK for them to have a job doing something they are not qualified to do it should be alright for them to talk about things they have no idea about.
Honestly though it's elitism when you say someone shouldn't have an opinion on something or openly share it with others. That's bad as well.
We all deserve to have opinions and openly share them with other people.
It's becomes dangerous when when a large enough percentage of the population can't tell the difference between fact and opinion though.
I suppose the best you can do is ask someone politely for qualifications, experience and to cite references.
Oh I need a:
#5 Fascism It further helps to reinforce concepts and talking points. If you don't totally agree with what we are saying today then you may be socially cast off into otherdom, experience a loss of freedoms or possibly violence.
I saw a youtube video semi recently that gave a simple definition for it; CONFORM OR ELSE.
The person argued that it has traits and groups of people are more likely to be susceptible to it like being right winged, corpratism, authoritarianism, nationalism, racism, but it could be missing one or all or them and still be Fascist. None of them totally define it. I found the comment section ironic,.
Was Franco a fascist?
Recent history is saying he wasn't.
He looks and sounds like one to me.
His army and party had it in their name for a minute.
He was alligned with Hitler and Mussolini.
