It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It

[-] Denjin@feddit.uk 11 points 1 day ago

He understands exactly what he's doing. Calling people like RFK stupid gives them too much credit.

Believing that he is stupid is less depressing than believing he is malicious and that a plurality of your countrymen voted for malice

You can be both a moron and money hungry. See.... everything?

Again, I disagree that RFK is a moron. He's a highly educated with a BA from Harvard and a master of law. He's from extraordinary privilege from possibly the most influential and powerful family in modern American history (excluding perhaps the Trumps now). He was a highly successful environmental lawyer who intimately understands politics, economics and psychology.

He cynically uses that power, influence and education to manipulate people, exploit their fears and make himself richer and more powerful.

He's a sociopath and an amoral cunt but he's not a moron.
