remember when the demand to have (but not actually have) well-formed militias was against the government and not people?
nazi much?
Maybe left-leaning people need to form their own militias?
Kinda like that?
The paradox is that less intelligent people are more excitable. So what we get is smart, civilized peope with no balls, and dumb energetic people willing to kamikaze. You can’t reason with unreasonable people, and unreasonable people see no reason to reflect on their actions. It’s a dangerous feedback loop that has put us on a collision course with collapse.
Edit: long story short, hot take, the smart people need to figure out a way to attract more dumb people.
That sounds pretty defeatist to me. Why not work within your community with all those smarts and help folks out?
Attract is an interesting choice of wording.
