On Fox it's easy to say. On the world's stage they know how stupid they sound. These people must be remembered by the stupid things they say and do.

The truth is that all of these fascists sound like morons and clowns. They’re buffoonish and stupid in how they read to anyone with an education (formal or informal). But then they gain power. And it’s not funny what they do, even though it’s the same moronic, buffoonish stupidity they’ve been saying and doing all along. Go back and read about the early Nazi party. People thought they were stupid clowns. And they were. And then they won on a technicality. And they were still stupid clowns. But with the power to do unbelievably horrible things.

So it doesn’t matter what you think of these people. It just matters what you do to them.

And the only thing to do with clownish buffoonish stupid people who want power is to make them know they are unwelcome in public wherever they are.

This is also why education is so important: It enables more people to recognize these morons for the idiots they are. Which is why one of the throughlines of any undemocratic system is to keep education away from people.

Education might help but this is more about critical thinking and emotional navigation.

Those two things are not taught regularly or in any standard way, in any country. For example, Japan has a relatively high education rate.. but also has a high suicide rate because emotional navigation isn't taught.

Education is a shortcut a lot of people use. Truth is I have met just as many people without degrees as people with degrees who can do critical thinking and emotional navigation.

There's nothing wrong with a classical education through high School or even secondary. That's not my point.

My point is societies will continue to go through the cycles of stupidity if critical thinking and emotional navigation both are not eventually taught to all. And I mean that without ideology or indoctrination methods which were attached in the past.
