There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

- Isaac Asimov

Or more succinctly; don't conflate your ignorance with someone else's knowledge.

Lemmy's mum has got it going on, she's all I want and I've waited for so long

The lesson to be learned here is that shitposting doesn't just happen online.

This person is almost certainly on a wind up.

This was a while ago. Now they are not ashamed anymore, to weaponize their ignorance.
