It's because 99% of people these days are extremely stupid. And I just can't tolerate stupidity.
There are just so many idiots across all walks of life and all ends of the political spectrum, ranging from woke SJWs to white supremicists, and from Christians and Muslims who take their religions too seriously to New Age neo-pagan nonsense.
At work today, my coworker was reading a series of texts from her ex claiming that Covid-19 is fake and is just a conspiracy from the government to force people to take vaccines. And as I was driving home, I drove past people with placards saying "forced vaccines are unconstitutional."
I remember one day when I was sitting in a waiting room to see my therapist, and the people sitting next to me started talking about how Donald Trump was appointed by God and that if Hillary Clinton had won the election the US would be a communist country by now. I remember feeling genuinely shocked that actual human beings can be this f*cking stupid!
Last year I was riding with my boss when he went on a tirade about how we should just nuke Iran and Iraq and kill all the Muslims and give their land to the Liberals or the Indians to get them out of our hair.
Here are some examples of the idiotic beliefs many people continue to hold despite all evidence to the contrary:
The Earth is flat.
The Earth is only 6,000 years old.
God specifically created humans of European descent to be superior to the rest of the human species.
Vaccines cause autism.
Evolution is fake.
Essential oils can prevent/cure cancer.
God deliberately created boys with foreskins just so he can tell us to cut them off.
Climate change is fake.
Biological sexes don't exist.
Islam supports gender equality.
Criticism of Islam is racist.
Only white people can be racist.
The Holocaust is fake.
The United States was founded on Judeo-Christian values.
Donald Trump was appointed to be the President of the United States by God himself.
Donald Trump is the true winner of the 2020 presidential election.
The moon landing never happened.
Christians are a prosecuted minority in the United States.
Immigrants are stealing jobs from "real" Americans.
There's a war on Christmas.
America used to be "great", but isn't anymore because of immigrants/Muslims/Atheists/LGBTQ/feminists/liberals/etc.
Kids are being forced to pray Islamic prayers in schools.
The solution to mass shootings is more guns.
Everywhere I go, whether it be online or in person, I find myself surrounded by F*cking morons.
I remember a day a few years ago, when I was substitute teaching in a middle school classroom. The lesson was about the planet Earth. And I overheard a student saying that she doesn't know whether or not to believe if the Earth is round or flat. Of course I don't blame a child for this, but rather I blame all idiotic adults who spread this hogwash.
Is it really any surprise that its so hard for me to find anybody I actually want to be around when so much of the human race is this idiotic?!
Some of these are just one contrarians opinion, I doubt 15 people are going to attack someone if they say the earth is round, the prejudice quotes are a little more problematic, sometimes I notice when someone doesn't like something about someone they go for their race, religion, gender role, age, size, appearance, clothes, status, politics, education, hair, etc most of the time they are just attacking that individual and they are not creative enough to specify their issue with that person so they make a generalization.I don't agree with it , that is just the way of the world. m issues are more with the small talk inclusion where people just run personal conversations or teasing to keep individuals out of the group, NT behavior at it's worst.
