Probably not, but how about if it works really well on people who’re just hiding their lack of self-worth behind a facade, and very quickly identifies them to boot?
You took the words out of my mouth. I will go along with that. My daughter lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn, that she claims in the epicenter of the movement. Her son is fully vaccinated and has been since the earliest age possible, but not all vaccines take perfectly and immunity is partly based on herd immunity which doesn’t exist in her neighborhood. A real Stupidist movement.
I don’t think anybody has mentioned the Tea Party.
Check up the page a little. I am no fan of the Tea Party, but they are out of their league with the other groups mentioned. I am just glad that no one has politicized this enough to say Democrats or Republicans. I was expecting that to be post three.
I would rate Holocaust Deniers and Neo-Nazis very high on the stupid list.
I know. I’ve been discussing this with the radio host.
My other candidate for stupid are the quiverfull morons:
Basically they are the no birth control people who think you should have as many children as you possibly can even if you can’t afford them or carrying a pregnancy will endanger a woman’s life. Think Duggars and their nineteen kids.
Oh, I didn’t even think of the quiverfull nutcases. Yes, those people are off their rocker.
Really I think I agree wholeheartedly with the assessment of every single movement mentioned so far. Bunch of lunatics.
If there ever is an actual Stupidist Movement, Allan Sherman has already written their marching song:
Leave us unite, and fight fight fight
For good ol’ stupidity!
All of the people who keep claiming that the Apocalypse is coming (you know, like in a few days), and those who believe them even after multiple failed predictions (which is to say, a VERY long list; there were already two predictions this year that passed and several others last year besides the Camping ones). Granted, a few do have some valid basis, like the Y2K bug, but even those are greatly blown out of proportion.
Is anyone still going on about the end of the world this year? It seems to have quieted down quite a bit since January, but I don’t generally move in the circles that would hear about it.
How about regular religious people? Staunch Christians, Hindus, Muslims. That stuff is very, very wacky.
I think we’re talking more fringe type stuff.
The funny thing about quiverfull is that the best way to ensure more gay guys get created is to keep having more children. The chance of a male being gay increases by a lot with each new male child a woman has. And the quiverfulls supposedly hate the gays, so perhaps they should stop at just one male child.
Yeah, but are the fringe religions really any stupider than the mainstream religions? I’d say no, they’re just more familiar.
Mormons.
The more I read about Joseph Smith the more ridiculous it sounds and now his teachings have millions of followers, baffling.
The most stupid movement is Christianity simply because it has the most followers among so many other equally stupid religious movements. But, if you don’t want to include religions then I’d go with the American Tea Party.
This took longer than I thought, but you can always count on someone on the Dope to front up sooner or later.
While mainstream religions are pretty stupid, the harm done depends on the specific case. Anti-vaxers are always harmful, selfish morons. No exceptions.
“Say No To Normal”
They want to ban the word ‘normal’.
So, what are we supposed to call the force applied by the Earth on every object resting on it to counter gravity…?
