Following the coup in Romania where presidential elections were cancelled with voting already in progress, political pundits have been racking their brains on how to deal with the large number of people voting against the system. The answer they came up with is fairly simple: “You’re stoopid”. If you do not support the current progressive war-mongering system and claim we should put our national interest first, it must be because you’re stoopid.
Since our Brussels overlords would not allow us to voice any dissent, there’s no talk about rethinking our national policy. The only option, political commentators say, is to focus on explaining to the dimwits the benefits of ruining our country on foreign orders.
Yes, we’ve also had a lot of outright insults, with conservative voters being called scum or deplorables, but if you’ve followed the American elections that’s not unexpected. We’re not very original, I’m afraid.
You don't talk to stupid
Calling dissenters stupid is not a new tactic. The same thing happened during the plandemic. Those who opposed mask or vaccine mandates were obviously stoopid. The main benefit of calling an opponent stupid is that you can outright dismiss their arguments. 'You’re stoopid, therefore we’re not even going to talk about your stoopid arguments'.
During the pandemic, the experts refused to engage in arguments based on antiquated notions like the so-called immune system. At present, no one would engage in a real discussion on the billions of dollars wasted to support Ukraine in a war they cannot win. Calin Georgescu, the presidential candidate who would have won the cancelled election, recently pointed out that a few months ago Romania donated to Ukraine a Patriot defense system, which was destroyed by the Russians in a matter of days. That’s one billion dollars down the drain. Not much by Biden standards, but quite significant for a country on the verge of a major economic crisis.
But we don’t talk about these things, do we?
The Soros-crowd trying to hold on to their comfy positions is so deluded, so wrapped in their liberal echo-chamber, a local analyst went so far as to call Elon Musk stoopid.
As a colony, people in Romania know their fate is determined elsewhere and we have been thrilled to notice the Trump camp keeps an eye on events here. Elon Musk had several tweets about the coup in Romania and it will be interesting to watch how things unfold once Trump gets sworn into office. Yet, the audacity to call Musk uneducated is of another world.
I haven’t been watching what liberals in the US are saying these days, but here, on the outskirts of the empire, there’s a mood of disbelief. Another side-effect of living in a bubble for so many years. The Soros orks cannot believe the world is changing. They cannot accept the idea that Donald Trump, whom they have been bashing for years, is heading to the Oval Office.
No one wants to be called stupid
Another major benefit of calling anyone opposed to the current state of affairs stoopid is that the legions of people with no political opinion of their own won’t want to be lumped together with the stupid. There are plenty of such people here, those who cannot be bothered to follow politics and formulate judgments. When they are called to express an opinion they’d much rather go with the intelligent people.
It’s very simple. You just tell them only really stoopid people would consider their national interest and be “anti-european”, and they’ll do your bidding, supporting whatever Soros puppet they’re presented with. This allows them to feel good about themselves. Deep down, they know they’re clueless and have no idea about boring politics. They’re also unaware that many people do find politics a waste of time and mind their own business. This is a valid choice, but you have to put some thinking into it. And own it. And have arguments to support your views. Too complicated for many people. So they’ll just go along with the influencers representing the educated people, even if this goes against whatever gut feeling there’s left in them.
You also avoid loneliness and the profound sadness of going your own way, trusting your judgment.
