    You have to realize. They are literally idiots.

    They’re in prison, being fed propaganda with no future, too many kids, too many problems no education. It’s hardly their choice unfortunately.

    We need to feel pity not contempt.

        Being educated and supporting Hamas just doesn’t compute. Even if you are politically brain damaged to think the only solution to Israel problem is to kick every jew out Hamas is so incredibly incompetent that no one with a single brain cell could possible support this organization.

          Being educated and supporting Trump just doesn’t compute. Even if you are politcally brain damaged to think the only solution to America’s problem is to kick every Mexican out Trump is so incredibly incompetent that no one with a single brain cell could possibly support him.

            being educated and being Clarence Thomas doesn’t compute either but the world is in an absolute fuckhole state, there’s no hand on the till and the rich are just making sure they’ve got all of theirs so they can hold out as long as possible against the zombie apocalypse, which will just be hungry people. That’s the real dark side to such stories.

            They could have stopped it but they’re just choosing to hunker down and not give a shit, and they will die just like the rest of us because of it

              No it doesn’t. It’s a weird jump in logic that makes no sense. The commenter above you even gave you a US example of the same way of thinking. There are plenty of educated people voting for conservatives in the US. They aren’t “idiots” as you’ve put it.

                Why do you think they aren’t “idiots”? I’d argue that they very well are :)

      I would say that that living in a dictatorship lead by a terrorist group skews the status of how educated the people are.

      My country was a socialist state some time ago. However, we had significantly more scientists than we have now and our education was significantly better compared to today. And many of those scientists actually believed in the idea of communism.

      So whilst they may be smart people and may have a good critical thinking, living in such an area can skew their perception of the reality. And it definitely is not their fault. If I were a 24 years old man living in Gaza, I would probably be in a similar position.

      These are just my thoughts and unfortunately we cannot verify/claim them wrong in a humane way…
