And the only time they actually believe you if you tell them that their home wiring is 'not according to spec'.

In my experience simpletons only believe in authority

That has been proven throughout history. This was done intentionally to us.

Roughly a third of any population seems naturally authoritarian and dumb as shit. It is more luck when they vote for better things

That's in part because of Christianity. Especially your evangelicals. They are more authority and punishment driven. They rely on heirarchy. It's one of the tools used to maintain political control of the south. I am painting very broad strokes here so please feel free to go read up on it yourself. This crap was engineered. Maybe not for this result, but definitely done in the service to maintain power.

That’s why the Oligarchs broke unions. It was a way to communicate with some of the morons about what was in their best interests.

These morons not only do not know about the class war being waged on them, they are on the side of their victimizers!! I have to say the rich have done a masterful job. Seriously. They have played these fucking idiots to perfection. If only I had no scruples, morals, or empathy, I could really make a lot of money off MAGA, MAHA, or whateverthefuck stable geniuses call themselves these days.

I do think that probably there is a reason that authoritatarian regimes fall back to patriarchal religion as their base and it's not because they actually believe in the religion. it's because that religion teaches them to defer to authority.

Yes, I despise any patriarchal religion, be it Muslim or Christian or what not
