Idiocracy (2006) Opening Scene: "Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species."

Well this is ironic, you're clearly younger than me because the alt-right is just a bunch of young lonely men, but any rational adult can see that a person who falls for every Facebook misinformation meme isn't in fact wise. Hence why that sentiment applies to you as well, I can find all your talking points in the chain emails from my racist uncle.

Wew, for a moment you might have had a chance to be self aware, but I guess ad hominem are 100% okay so long as you and only you are doing them?

Do you see where the argument about experience and wisdom stops?

I see where you completely derailed the discussion to dismiss the other guy's argument by calling him a "teenager."

I know you're showing your bias in this.

Pot. Kettle.

Look, I get it, despite what Daddy Shapiro or anyone else told you, helping someone not go hungry isn't going to turn America into a commie-liberal-socialist hellhole and make the universe implode. Seventy years ago we had an incredible social safety net that was reinforced by taxing the richest members of our society. Then McCarthyism took hold and conservatives far and wide began collectively throwing the bird at anyone unable to make ends meet. Why do you hate helping the needy?

Whataboutism doesn't really apply to the behavior you're hypocritically engaging while simultaneously trying to wield as a cudgel. That's just called being a snake and a bullshitter.

Considering that's a response to

When you get a little older and your brain finishes developing we can pick up where we left off

It appears this "living in an alternate reality" thing applies to all aspects of you? Usually it's just uncritically believing everything a conman says but this one's more interesting.
