At some point it is. It’s self-punishing, though. Problem being is the context of that stupidity affecting society as a whole and dragging the rest of us down with them. As a society we should have the ability to erect guardrails to help even the willfully stupid, but the stupid do their best to eliminate any such aid because.

Of course it isn’t, but I’m not gonna feel bad when the people that advocated for drinking battery acid die with a hole in their stomachs.

If your stupidity hurts someone else, yes that is bad.
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I mean there are consequences
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I sometimes think it should be since most stupid people are stupid of their own volition.

Then why are you still here?

Oooh good one
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No, I’m serious. Every one of us is stupid most of the time. There’s no way you’re an expert in every possible thing you come across everyday.
So if stupidity hurts, why are you here? Why are any of us left?

Killing is.

It is when so many people stupid together that it systematically starts kill them. Is it a 3rd party punishment? Nope, it’s FAFO on a national scale. Unfortunately it’s going to be epic in just how much suffering it causes.

I think this is the capitalists exploiting and discarding the workers once they are unable to perform work. This is the system working as intended.
Add some propaganda, lack of alternative etc. and you get this.
