While I agree that people, across differences, are "stupid", it& #39;s not fair to generalise the "stupidity", either in terms of religion (as the fascist project is revelling in Islamophobia) or class (as the affordability of "wisdom" is disproportionate). https://twitter.com/AsimAli6/status/1246112105985536001">https://twitter.com/AsimAli6/...
While the "educated", "rational" folks start to preach about scientific temper to the "irrational" & "stupid" masses, it is important to account for the power imbalances, whether in terms of religion or class, and not fall into the trap of bothsidesism.
It& #39;s not fair to shift the blame of the mess from the fascist project and its gigantic machinery that is working to further its goals day in and day out to common people& #39;s susceptibility to "stupidity".
Yes, people are "stupid", but no, they are not the ones to be blamed.
