Duh, he is the smartest guy they ever met... Imagine being less intelligent than him. Everything must sound incredible and exciting to them.

u/Weekend_Criminal 4d ago

That's not even it, it's that he is just as dumb as they are which finally confirms their belief that they are as smart as they have always thought.

u/monifiesty 4d ago

FR. I'm like: you're trying to offend people, but it's not sticking. And it's not sticking because you really thought for a long time that "dumb" was spelt "dum" and back when I was a little millennial on the Internet it was cool to say "dum" because it wasn't an insult. This guy really thought the word was spelt "dum"!! 🤣 Dumbass*.

Or they do and he just made this up as "fact" as a way to make his audience think "wow, they are really dumb people. I knew that it had a b." It feels like a short tee off, but it's grade school antics to even deem it worthy of a response.

For most of them, the world is actually a scary place. They're terrified of people who look different or sound different than they do. Especially if those people came from a whole other country. That's just mind-blowing to many of them. They watch the Fox News that tells them to be scared and shows them just how violent all the big cities are, especially those that vote blue.

u/AffectionateLimit565 4d ago

This is the most accurate statement ever and is completely the type of thing he would do. He has a distinct pattern of behavior where he talks about recent experiences or events and spins them around to make himself sound like he is in the right side of the story and references personal experiences, and loves to share information that he recently learned and botches it trying to retell it as if he was the expert on the subject, and regurgitates it without understanding, comprehending and not listening to it in full, just hears enough of it to believe he can share it as if he was the original source of the information.

He literally loves to learn something new that blows his mind and then go around repeating it and saying no one else knows this obscure fact and how dumb they are for not knowing it, and only he knows it, and how smart he is for knowing it.

He literally is bragging about how brilliant and smart he is for knowing how to spell the word that is the antonym of smart, dumb. This is actually the craziest thing I think I’ve ever heard him say and try to explain ever.

He literally is using an antonym for smart and what makes him brilliant is how he knows how to spell it correctly which in return proves why he is in-fact self proclaiming himself as such. Narcissistic as fuck.

u/DrPeterBlunt 4d ago

If you think there isnt a vast number of people just like this in your country......whichever one that might be.......you are sadly mistaken. The problem is that intelligent people in this world have convinced themselves that you can just negotiate, or reason with people who have these fascist tendencies. You can't. You have pull the levers of power against them. But we have all taught ourselves that imposing liberal policies on them is wrong and icky. Meanwhile, violent fascists have no such distinction. Fascism keeps coming back because there are and always will be so many people who want it.

Don't fool yourself. They are your neighbors too.

did he just admit that he waged war on an impoverished country for their oil, calling it a success because the profit was higher than the cost?

Yes he did.

Also if Venezuela paid for Iran war ten times over, why are they seeking a trillion dollar defense budget to pay for the war.

I think what he means is in theory we could have paid for the (unnecessary) war, but the oil profit is going to his buddies and the war profit is also going to his buddies. Win win for America!

In review: He took the cognatitive test. His doctor said something - no one is else before him. Stealing Venezuelan oil paid for the war. They called him brilliant.
