No one exemplifies this archetype better than you and the other “critical thinkers” here, big guy. 😘
Awww you remembered me!!
This video was made by a midwit. If you understand horseshoe theory, and you understand the concept of a 'useful idiot', then you should realize that assigning personal motivations to a demographic defined by an IQ range is no better then name calling to discredit.
This in not a phenomena. It is an elevation of crafted opinions by corporations,
There is a pattern and that pattern warrants a generalization. I'm not a huge proponent of "IQ is the best measure of intelligence" but it is the case that so called midwits, normies, NPCs or people of average mental ability exhibit the behavior mentioned (although I wouldn't tie it to IQ necessarily but more to social status and personal character). The guy makes a valid overall.
Not that I'm personally invested in this video, but I did largely agree with the premise. The kind of "well...achkually" midwits is what the video was about, which are produced by the modern education system.
Moreover, to pick at the worst part of your argument here, horseshoe theory doesn't have anything to do with the Marxist concept of useful idiots. Midwits as know it all appears on the right and the left due to IQ being a bell curve.
Roughly 22 years ago the Public High Schools across America stopped teaching about the detriments of Marxism.
I ask my 17 yo nephew what he knows about Marx. They have not taught him anything about the man and his ideas. So it will be easy to lead people like him into dark areas. For him, he had me, and when I learned what he had not, I gave him the tools for understanding, and guided him through questions asked. As the community should.
