Once you see how stupid and useful this group is, it's hard to unsee the deliberate attempts to make this group larger and dumber.

Thought I should expand to explain the group gets larger as the economy suffers and people are too poor busy and hopeless for anything other than a hopeful narrative.

And the group gets dumber when skipping school is glorified, education gets funding cuts, and people mass consume media.
