@var.aunevik: In his essay "on stupidity", Dietrich Bonhoeffer argues that stupidity poses a greater threat than evil. His argument is that we can protest against evil, but against stupidity, we are defenseless - for protest, nor use of force, can acomplish anything - "reasons fall on deaf ears" He says the following about the stupid person: “He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German pastor and anti-Nazi dissident, if you want to read his essay on stupidity, you can find it here -> https://nsjonline.com/article/2021/12/bonhoeffer-on-stupidity/

And in channels like Jubilee and shows like this, we see the epitome of stupidity in the people they bring on to argue important/sensitive topics like Religion, Politics, Feminism, Abortion, and basic human rights

true, but what this video will do is encourage people to think the other guys are stupid, which is worse than evil. even more polarization. when they should consider that maybe both sides have some good pounts, and the whole debate is preventing a workable solution. as is the case with immigration, where one side is throwing people out, the other side pretends rules don't exist, and absolutely nobody is discussing a decent immigration law reform, based on either common values or at least a workable compromise. because that's not sexy and doean't get clicks. "the other guys are stupid" does.

Like arguing with righ-wingers,they'll turn up to a debate with zero prep or research because they can't lose if they don't understand.

it funny that she will be talking about this and only to encourage people to think thier opposite is the one stupid. do you think people watch this video and "oh am i the one this guy?" no. people will do opposite that "the opposite of me is the one what video is talking about". and i see you like the comment that giving those energy.

That’s why in 12 Angry Men, I had way more respect for the racist than the guy who just wanted the whole thing to be over, because at least the racist had an ideology you could tangibly argue with.

The chance to successfully manipulate a powerful but stupid person is much higher than a powerful but an evil intelligent person

we need to understand that everyone have their own logic and justificatios regardless if you agree with them or not, and everyone is the hero of their own story.

You can make a person less stupid, because you can educate to a certain level. Not sure you can make a person less evil
