| Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought. |

Most people are idiots
Let me start of by saying I am not a Nazi, nor do i believe in the principles of nationalism-socialism. However, me and a friend decided to do a little experiment. On both of our facebook pages we listed our political views as Nationalist Socialist Worker's party. It's been that way for over 3 months, an NOBODY has noticed. I have many friends who I guarantee would be outraged if i listed myself as a Nazi. But it disgusts me that people today aren't educated on basic history. Has anyone else encountered experiences like this?

Perhaps no one looks at your facebook. Look, I'm not saying that you're ugly, it's just that... you're ugly.

 But my mommy says I'm handsome  .
But no, I always knew people were stupid. But not that stupid. Especially because I have a few idiot friends who think they know politics, I'd think at least those people would pick up on it.
I had some faith in humanity, not much, but some.

Ugh, what's your point? You're smarter than everyone else? The party is known more commonly as the Nazi Party. Members of the party are called Nazi's. Therefore, people are more likely to know the Nationalist Socialist Worker's party as the "Nazi Party". Not everyone is interested in gathering world war 2 trivia and reads about German politics 70 years ago.

I would hardly call it trivial. It's pretty basic knowledge.
But what pisses me off to no avail is that I have many friends who are considered "smart" because they go to class and just memorize shit and take tests and people think they're so smart. These people take one look at Nationalist Socialist Worker's Party, and it means nothing to them. Even people who nowadays are considered smart and fucking dumbshit.

I had my interests as Date rape and my activities as Clubbing Seals. Nobody cares.
People who know what it means probably just find it funny.

Re: Most people are idiots
Stupidity and ignorance are not the same thing. Not knowing anything about German history is ignorance. Stupidity is when you hold opinions that are based on vague, arbitrary assumptions.

Re: Most people are idiots
Who the hell cares? lol
And I think that most people would consider that not basic knowledge. The Nazi party, D-Day, the battle of the bulge, Iwo Jima, concentration camps, all is basic knowledge. The official name of the Nazi Party is not common knowledge. Do you know the official name of the Italian party, Japanese party, British party, or the Russian party? Probably not (not without google atleast).

Re: Most people are idiots
The only thing you managed to prove is how stupid you are, if you think that silly experiment proves anything.
Could they not have seen your change? Could they have not seen it, and thought it was a joke? Could they not have seen it, understood it and decided not to confront you about it? There are dozens of explanations.
Hell, even if we ignore all those flaws the only thing you could actually say is that your friends are retarded.
