Proclaiming that Americans are retarded while also running around with shit streaming out of your pants isn't a very endearing argument. You're not wrong, but you're also not going to convince anyone your points have merit.
I do not make ableist proclamations.
But I do proclaim that Americans are, in general, anti-intellectual.
You do not have to be bigoted to criticize me.
You're literally mocking people based on their perceived intelligence quotient but you get offended if I use a term like retarded. Gotcha. Seems just a bit hypocritical. You can try to fancy it up with ephemeral vocabulary all you want but at the end of the day you're mocking people for being less cognitively able. I'm just helping you see the paint that you laid down.
Who the fuck is he mocking?
I have been discussing incuriosity and anti-intellectualism, neither of which have anything to do with intelligence.
You, however, are using a word that has been used to horrifically bully people with both intellectual and physical disabilities.
I'm sure this won't matter to you and you will continue to be ableist, but I'll leave it for others: https://www.specialolympics.org/stories/impact/why-the-r-word-is-the-r-slur
And there it is everyone he cares more about the label then purposely disparaging upwards of 50% of a country as mentally deficient and or incapable . Or perhaps I just lack the sufficient reading comprehension to extrapolate your multi-layered and nuanced themed assertions based on ill sourced polls that Americans are not intelligent because the ones sampled failed arbitrary litmus tests of knowledge. Woe is me because it's spread across multiple posts the true meaning of your tirade has been lost to me with my ADHD rattled autism spectrumd non-neurotypical brain. It's okay. You can spell it out for me. I've been told by many professionals that I am in fact retarded. Clutch your pearls harder sweetie. Take your Pharisee energy somewhere else.
