>>22300341When you let other people think for you you'll lose the ability to process information logically. Most people don't have to think for themselves. They have the political party, celebrity, social media, television, the fed or anything else you can imagine to think for them. Why would they bother trying to actually learn the facts when it's easier to say Elon is a Nazi? Well because then you have to admit that politically speaking the Nazis were based asf. If X politician was really a Nazi that means good things.
Right around when the internet was coming out people stopped researching things. They propped up social media which gives your uneducated retard ass a place to espouse nonsense and get a standing ovation. More and more with each generation they learn to use this substitute intelligence to a higher degree resulting in the supplementation of individual thinking.
It's not that people aren't smart anymore they just have no obligation to the schools of logic and reason anymore.
