    Want a simple explanation?

    The ignorant BEG to be led. And because they’re not qualified at all to know if whoever ends up with the job is dumber than they are- they ultimately end up marching in lock-step behind them oblivious of the fact that they’re just marching in circles.

      Led by someone who doesn’t make them feel stupid. Because being stupid is bad and they aren’t bad.

      But they are stupid. And that isn’t bad. I don’t look down on stupid people for being stupid. I judge them because they do stupid shit, like following stupid people.

      I’ve too well versed in history to ignore the threat of the stupid leading the stupid. Idiocracy is a utopian version of stupid people taking over. The reality is also bloody.
