    Yeah it can’t be that people are frustrated about living in a country where they’re in a permanent minority and will never be happy with their government.

            You said people are stupid and lack a sense of nuance.

            I pointed out that people are frustrated and don’t give a fuck about nuance anymore, and that’s why we’re fucked.

            Sorry I didn’t spell that out for you.

                I think ignoring emotions and just calling people stupid is simplistic and insulting.

                Strong emotions are known to make people stupider. The more they fall behind the more frustrated they get and the less they care that the official economic metrics say things are fine.

                They see children being shot in the streets of Gaza and they’re infuriated at their impotence to do anything to stop it.

                Just calling them stupid is only going to make them more angry and irrational.
