@livcomp@hachyderm.io Partly, but I seriously think that stupidity is fundamental to oppressive power.

@foolishowl@social.coop @livcomp@hachyderm.io You might be onto something there. I've been wondering how all of this turned out so Idiocracy. I used to think that smart people would tend to make smart choices, then saw supposed tech geniuses pulling awful crap that's burning the planet-- I figured okay, maybe some intelligent people are just so sociopathic they simply don't care about the damage they're doing for short-term gains... but then everything just keeps getting more and more absurd, and maybe there really aren't evil geniuses left in charge of very much because the sheer aggression of addled brutes is overriding them?
