Underestimating your enemy is never a good strategy.

Post like these are just opium to keep you passive.

Lower cognitive ability doesn’t imply that they are any less intentional or malicious. They just have no empathy and cannot see the value in others that don’t belong to their prescribed bigotry.

Some scientists believe that neanderthals were more socially advanced than homo sapiens. They theorize homo sapiens may have systematically exterminated neanderthals, who ultimately underestimated a stupider and more vicious enemy.

Tale older than the concept of time.
