Hey genius, you used the mere term carnivore as a pejorative. If you asked me if there are example of carnivores who are idiots, I would say yes, and the reason that is true is because there are individuals, it is not a COLLECTIVE. So flippantly saying "carnivore" pejoratively indicates 1) you don't understand the cognitive bias of collectivizing groups of individuals; 2) you are merely arrogant and haven't ever bothered reading much on biology or history (because as a supposed non-idiot, you would never otherwise make such a statement), so we can surmise that you are merely arrogant rather than and idiot through and through, but that in itself is a reflection of midwittery, at least with respect to some distribution, where you might still very well be ahead of normies.
Finally, an intelligent person recognizes there are still more intelligent people than them, and that to those people, one is an idiot. To Stephen Hawking, I would be an idiot and that does not bother me in the slightest. So then the way you express a single term, you end up coming across as a total twat -- and here's the thing, I'd even say most bitcoiners annoy me, often because they are idiots, but at the same time, I realize it is as absurd as being annoyed that a chimp cannot speak -- in the end, twats like you are worse because genuine idiocy cannot be helped, but your twattery is in effect an opt-in form of functional retardation. Capish?
Exactly. Idiocy by definition is usually not a voluntary thing, it's more often culturally acquired (brainwashing) or biological (neural interconnection and synapse density).
Extremism is always an insult used by those who are proud of their mediocrity.
And yeah, I'm not taking it personally because it's the first category in this case, that leads to the second, which is one of the ways in which this frustration at stupidity is turned into an excuse to tittilate yourself with other people's discomfort, and thus the mark of a bully.
When I encounter bully behaviour IRL these days, I'm either, get the fuck away from the clique that will slavishly defend this dominator, or if they are the new one, sock them in the eye to remind them that we aren't everyday internet people here.
