"Are you smarter than a 3rd grade school student?" .... Masturbatory Egoism of social media simulacra. Reactionary comment messages on social systems that boil down to: "I am smarter than Donald Trump", "I am smarter than Elon Musk", "I am smarter than Russia", "They have no clue", "those people are clueless", "they are so stupid-dumb-idot". Promoting anti-education, anti-learning, and total mockery of NATO / USA. The very low low bars of popular screen game show of people declaring they are smarter than others

Topic: Brainwashed Population programmed to vote

"The newspapers have to have bad news, otherwise there would be only ads, or good news. Without bad news we could not discern the ground rules of the environment. This does not necessarily mean the environment is bad, but it means its operation upon us is total and ruthless. The environment is always the brainwasher, so that the well-adjusted person, by definition, has been brainwashed. He is adjusted." - Marshall McLuhan, Vision 65 (October 1965)

It was genocide Joe because the public policy mega cruiser wasn’t turning on a dime and dropping them off at the front door of their ideal destination. So they put us all on an express train to Hell instead to teach them a lesson.
