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.

Global scale

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.

I sometimes think it should be since most stupid people are stupid of their own volition.

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?

If your stupidity hurts someone else, yes that is bad.
