The Idiots Guide on How To Destroy the World

The Idiots Guide on How To Destroy the World:

America doesn’t have a problem with race, crime or violence. It has an idiot problem. America is overrun with them. Look to the 4 corners of this great land, and idiots are everywhere.

America doesn’t have a problem with White cops killing Black men. It has a problem with a few idiot cops—and, a wide swath of young Black men raised in homes with no father present. Nearly 75% of all Black children live in fatherless homes. Never, in the history of the Western world has that been true, to the degree it is today, and for any culture. This one fact almost always ensures poverty, welfare dependency, higher rates of crime, including much higher rates of incarceration, even lower IQ, and it does so by a multiplier of 2 to 9 times for a child born under such circumstances.

This is not news but has been known for more than a half century, leading to precisely the kind of dysfunctional culture that we see today in urban ghettos all over America. But, what is obvious to some, is blindingly obtuse to an idiot.


Some will say that illegitimacy is the direct result of slavery. They will say this without actually looking at the evidence. Because that is what idiots do. What the evidence shows, is that 100 years ago, Black and White two parent families were essentially the same. It wasn’t until the Great Society programs of the 1960’s that illegitimacy in the Black community exploded. And, it did so because the government paid woman of all colors, in particular, Black women, to have babies. Not intentionally, mind you, but the subsidies, which were intended to help single mothers, radically fostered out of wedlock births, just the same. This effect was obvious and predictable to rational people. But to an idiot, it was heresy, as are all thoughts that don’t jibe with the idiot’s world-view.


Now, 50 years later, urban hellholes in America’s major cities are largely unlivable. Not surprisingly, they are all run by the same idiots that fostered them, to begin with, and overwhelmingly so.


There are, no doubt, other factors at work as well, minimum wage laws enacted after WWII drove Black youth out of the labor market, creating separate and unequal opportunities. After that one simple change, what had been parity among Black and White youth, in terms of jobs, was never again the same. Once again, well-intended idiots did their worst, under the guise of their best.

However, if you disagree, you can always run to The Huff Po or Think Progress, where some 27-year-old with a degree in “Lesbian Poets in 18th Century England” will tell you otherwise.

Need I say that idiots will congregate among their own, especially when confronted with an alternative theory to their endless propaganda? Such people will find Black Lives Matter to be a heroic organization, even if virtually nothing that they say is true. It is true in spirit, minus only the facts, which are nowhere to be found.


How does an idiot solve a terrible problem like the one we see today in urban ghettos? More of the same, of course. If 50 trillion dollars spent on poverty programs didn’t work over the last 50 years, the only answer possible is, we need to spend 100 trillion. Yes. That’s it! Pour massive amounts of money down an endless well of bad ideas, and, eventually, it will all work out.


If this doesn’t offer definitive proof that idiots abound in the highest places, and in the highest offices, nothing will.
