They’re intelligent enough to know that doing shit like this will be to their gain in this world, but not mature enough not to do it (nor do they believe in God and the Day of Judgment). They’re not morons, drooling over themselves and thinking 1+1=shoe, they’re just bad people. It’s an important distinction to make, and the following questions are “who isn’t a bad person in the American government?” and “why does my society seem to be okay-enough with all of this?”
