Stupid people jump on the &#8220;hampster wheel&#8221; of revolving credit to have NOW what they have not yet earned.<\/p>\n<p>6) People go into the streets and fight for things that undermine everything that gave them the right and ability to do so (total dichotomy!).<\/p>\n<p>7) Rank &amp; file politicians refuse to \u2018represent\u2019 constituents in favor of acquiescing to special interest and politically correct influences.<\/p>\n<p>8) \u201cPolitical correctness\u201d supplants common sense.<\/p>\n<p>9) Saying \u201cno\u201d is a \u2018moral offense\u2019 when you don\u2019t agree with something \u2026 and you can get sued into compliance.<\/p>\n<p>10) Saying &#8220;Yes&#8221; to things you disagree with becomes a &#8220;survival tool&#8221; so that everything you\u2019ve built and published doesn\u2019t get wiped off YouTube, Google and other social media.<\/p>\n<p>11) The corporate media insists that they can think better than you, so you\u2019d better shut up and listen up because you\u2019re not capable of thinking for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>12) The young, on social media, are more interested in which \u2018friend\u2019 farted last in class than what is happening around them \u2026 got to keep your eyes on that screen, even if it means falling into a ditch.<\/p>\n<p>13) Getting a &#8220;free ride&#8221; seems more honorable than having pride in an actual accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>14) Votes get cast based on how cute, telegenic and charismatic the candidate is (Obama\/Trudeau as poignant examples) rather than on their abilities, political motives and experience.<\/p>\n<p>15) The public accepts the opinions of politically-driven liars as fact just because they were interviewed on a politically-driven, corporately-paid network financed by the very people who have a vested interest in the public remaining ignorant of the facts.<\/p>\n<p>What will you say to your children and grandchildren about what YOU did TODAY to STOP the distortion and destruction of the most productive and promising society in human history?<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to be remembered in history as one of the honored 3% (as before) \u2026 or as a bystander who didn\u2019t have the guts or will to stand up, speak up and make the future a better place?<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/beforeitsnews.com\/politics\/2017\/08\/15-clues-what-happens-when-stupid-becomes-the-rule-2935851.html\">http:\/\/beforeitsnews.com\/politics\/2017\/08\/15-clues-what-happens-when-stupid-becomes-the-rule-2935851.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=82312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82312\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=82312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=82312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=82312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
