If I had to make a guess on which person these forums would be most likely to go on a public shooting spree...  :|

I havent posted in a while, im bored.....probably tl;dr, but I find the subject fascinating.

Its kind of worring that he believes that because people say his views are wrong, he is actually a revolutionary visionary. Smoothy my man, you are just plain wrong. Undebateably wrong. Your take on politics and history is so lackluster that its quite easly clear that you havent even got the basic insight of either of those fields and any person who does sees it too. Not like its your fault thou. Hatespreading movements that spread and yell the "our Western society is rotten" message, prey on the weak-minded and illinformed, who think that they see and know more than the average sheep. After all, we all think we are special dont we?

I have to say the whole psychological play on this is absolutely genius. Somehow people trying not to be sheep become more of sheeps in the course of it. Smooth is the primal example of that. For example his (over)use of the word "communist", which he hasnt really used properly once. It is, to me atleast, clear indication of US shaped propaganda similar to the modern form of Kremlins "nazi are on the rise, beware" propaganda. While Kremlin uses his to attack his foreign enemies, US version is commonly used domestically by politicians to attack other political opponents. The real beauty of it is that you dont really need any evidence, they generally dont have any. Just say the word, give an extremely vauge similarity to a totalitarian violent government and people who really have no actual clue on political movements, believe it fully. Its frighteningly effective. Smooth himself, while fully claiming on how rotten politics are, is unknowingly using one of the most cheapest and manipulative of political claims to prove his point.

XKCD (or maybe... SMBC?) made a funny little graph about the dunning-kruger effect you are describing:

You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

God, these forums are dead. DEAD.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.
