I don’t disagree with your assessment but if we are collectively dumb enough to subject ourselves to obviously bad ideas simply because we haven’t experienced the negative effects of those ideas firsthand then we deserve the consequences of such colossal stupidity.
This seems to be the collective expression across media: you’re dumb [not you, krashmo, a collective “you”], either wholly or within the context of X, so you deserve bad things.
I don’t disagree when it’s something that only affects that individual, but the statements pass the buck and create a passivity regarding problems that effect more than that individual. This isn’t a hold my beer moment where someone injures themselves or an anger management issue that loses a job for that one man. The dumb of 1/3 of the population, 1/3 of a society, is thus absorbed and accepted by all with these dismissive, passive statements. To be fair, acceptance is the easier path.
