Watched a couple of videos from this guy and I really couldn't believe what I was watching, but it does explain a lot about the current state of affairs:

Just when you thought he couldn't get stupider or more historically ignorant...
His Orangeness Mango Mussolini, the Melon Felon, has a bee in his bonnet [1] about canals, but it's not just about #Panama now. On his social network - a fork of Mastodon, of course - he wrote:

The Panama canal, maybe.
The Suez canal, however, was proposed by a #Frenchman, financed primarily by #Europeans, built by forced and voluntary labour sourced from countries in the region under the management of the French, and then operated by a French company with a contract for 99 years.
The USA had absolutely #zilch to do with the Suez canal. Which is probably for the best, because the USA was kind busy fighting its own civil war and then the #reconstruction that followed it - the canal was built from 1859 to 1869.
So, Mr. Trump: pull your head out of your ass, admit your ignorance, apologize to Egypt, France, and the rest, and slink off to your history-free corner of D.C. with your tail between your legs.
[1] Maybe it's good he has a bee in there. There isn't much else rattling around in that particular bone soap dish.

We've arranged a #society based on #science and #technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of #ignorance 
and #power 
, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a #democracy 
if the people don't know anything about it ? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan#Quotes

BuzzFeed · GOP Representative's Intersex Blunder Goes Viral
> Stupidity isn’t just a lack of #intelligence —it’s the refusal to think critically, and it’s everywhere. In this video, we dive into The Stupidity Epidemic, exploring why people ignore #facts, how #SocialMedia fuels #misinformation, and why Dietrich Bonhoeffer believed #stupidity is more dangerous than evil. From blind groupthink to misplaced confidence, we break down how #ignorance spreads, why it thrives in positions of power, and what we can do about it.

On cue, these crowds will erupt into thunderous applause at the prospect of someone telling them they are wise for being so close minded.

American Century Ended Gradually and then Suddenly RIP America the #Superpower. We are being attacked from win. The attack is as sweeping as it is sudden. All of the sources of our strength all of the engines of our growth R being systematically dismantled. Damage is being done as a result of a strategic plan #Project2025 + #VladimirPutin, nearly all of it is being substantially aggravated by the #ignorance and #recklessness of those implementing it. #trump #musk #gop https://davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/the-american-century-ended-gradually?r=lsuuh&triedRedirect=true
Need to Know by David Rothkopf · The American Century Ended Gradually and then Suddenly
@soatok I didn't know you when you published that one, but it's most excellent. I don't understand why it's on the bottom of your views.
The benevolence/kindness part against evil is a kind of super power. Bad people just don't get it to a point... And they don't get it even more why people will side with you for that.
(Then, I wanted to express something about feeling out of place in the world, and my brain was weaving threads between that post, your "doesn't matter" one, the recent most excellent post by @grimalkina https://social.treehouse.systems/@grimalkina@mastodon.social/114350502204401207 or in French when @uichelorraine describes her family or point out the common malovelence around her, or when @dysfun expressed lack of understanding when I explained how I try to manage my company and the values I try to put in that, or @RuthMalan all encompassing empathy, but it goes nowhere so the unknotting will be left as an exercise for the readers.
Perhaps it's just: you're all very good, kind, uncommon people, and life is complicated and I hope you will find ways to make it works for you)

Oh no! The web is "broken" because #AI companies are mining data like it's the next #gold rush! 
Turns out you might be running a crawler without even knowing—because apparently #ignorance is the latest tech trend.

Thoughts on our #school system: Without #understanding, it is impossible to think in a differentiated way. Such people are more easily seduced by #simplistic arguments. People who cannot reflect, who are not self-critical won‘t contribute to the #common #good. You can't dispel #ignorance with facts and #knowledge. #Understanding is needed for that.
If we continue like this, our #education system will soon abolish #Democracy
It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.
