No, to choose ignorance when you don't have to is weak in my eyes. You are not chained to a screen, you can go out and find the truth, they just don't want to, it's weak and should exempt them from failure.

Very true. The stupid will fall in line when it's popular to do so though. You just need a critical mass first, which is the only thing pulling along he democratic establishment at this point, they are seen as the "safe" choice, and it's why they are laser focused on defeating leftists. Beating the republicans is secondary to them.

There is no good argument against capitalism. I agree there should be some guardrails and regulation, but it's a matter of how much.

At the core it is capitalism though, and it's the supeeior ecinomic model to anything else.

I take your point, but Indoctrination in the oligarchy's propaganda in this circumstance does indicate a lack of intelligence.

Because the oligarchy is working to make us all slaves, and is incapable of running the country well, and will leave everyone worse off, even the rich, after the degeneration accelerates especially, (after they openly steal elections, (checks watch.))

They are fucking stupid. Unable to see past their next move, trusting the wrong people to lead them, despite overwhelming evidence that the oligarchy and their leaders are the enemy.

There are different types of intelligence. One of which is realizing when people are playing you,

It's so in your face at this point though, no, smart people can't believe party line bullshit, they are either stupid or dishonest.
