It seems to me that the average person's intellectual development tends to stop once they leave high school. Exceptional people keep learning, but the great masses of retarded dumb-fucks out there pretty much learned new things only as long as society forced them to.TithonusSyndrome wrote:Retarded, bellicose comments like these go a long way towards convincing me that literally everything motivating the mindset and thoughts of conservative Americans - the tax cut dogma, their small government fetish, their disdain for foreign methods of governance - is simple juvenile machismo, the same kind you can find in any high school. Literally no more sophisticated. America, and by extension themselves, is a nation of virile hyper-masculine heterosexual high achievers in their minds, and everything that isn't is feminine and impotent.
That's why this asinine macho tough-guy approach to social and political issues is so popular. The people who subscribe to it are still stuck in a high-school mentality.
