It's that they're actively, knowingly ANTI-RATIONAL.
They have to be though to follow their leaders commands. If they accepted rationality, they'd have to reject their leaders.
They're hierarchy monkeys.
Missouri GOP legislators are trying to reduce the qualifications to be a coroner. Bc folks were big mad that some coroners listed cause of death as Covid.

I don’t give a shit about looking smart, I care only about the well being of humanity.
And clearly in a way that a lot of people up top don’t seem to care about at all.
And then what happened
Class, class, class! Why did we lose our grip on class-based politics??
They simply don’t care.
If they're willing to allow the complete and total dehumanization of one group, how are we to determine if really care about another group?
I don't accept that they care about contradictions.
