Every nation across the globe possesses its share of foolish individuals. However, a recent Rand study, which analyzed 160 countries, has determined that the United States now boasts the highest proportion of foolish people across all 10 internationally recognized categories of foolishness. This is a first.
In terms of percentage, the US ranks at the top for having (listed from least to most foolish) more nincompoops, jerks, numb nuts, shitheads, utter halfwits, morons, imbeciles, idiots, assholes, and complete assholes compared to any other country globally (to be fair, the US narrowly surpassed France in total halfwits and narrowly outperformed the UK in complete assholes).
This thorough examination considered numerous factors and circumstances that contribute to the different categories of foolishness. The most significant factor influencing the final rankings across all categories was the competence (or the lack thereof) of the government upheld by the populace of each nation. The findings clearly indicate that the effectiveness of a nation’s government directly correlates with the intellectual capabilities of its citizens (on the contrary, the more foolish the policies of a government, the more foolish the populace it serves).
Americans take pride in stating that their government is “of the people, by the people, for the people.” Therefore, what could be a better method to assess the intellectual capabilities of the American populace than by analyzing the logical soundness of their government’s policies?
The research found that each government endorses at least a few foolish policies. Several really foolish policies were prevalent in almost half of the 160 countries surveyed, and moreover, every really foolish policy—and every really, really foolish policy—was shared by at least 10 other nations. Thus, the United States is not alone in backing obviously foolish policies.
However, the US government significantly outperformed others in terms of the sheer number, vast scope, and detrimental global repercussions of its really, really, foolish policies (the kind where heads are way up their own behinds). In fact, many of the globe’s head-in-the-cloud policies originated from the US government and were imposed on other nations (often through military or financial coercion).
The top three US head-in-the-cloud policies
Drug war: The research identified drug prohibition as “the most evident” example of a head-in-the-cloud policy that the US has imposed worldwide via threats and coercion. Aside from sound-minded individuals, the study revealed that a significant number of America’s morons, imbeciles, and even idiots recognized why drug prohibition is inherently foolish (and overtly counterproductive).
Almost 98 percent of American idiots surveyed could articulate why drug prohibition represents a colossal waste of taxpayer money, how it engenders tremendous suffering and fatalities globally (consider Mexico), and why it’s guaranteed to be a perpetual failure (duh, perhaps because it ensures enormous profits for anyone capable of producing and delivering these substances?). Only assholes or complete assholes would assert that a government policy that ensures MASSIVE profits for any activity could lead to less of that activity. Duh!
The US has expended over a TRILLION taxpayer dollars on the “drug war.” Any idiot is aware that prohibited substances are now cheaper, purer, and more accessible than ever before. Only assholes or complete assholes would anticipate a different outcome. Nevertheless, among American voters, even the morons, imbeciles, and idiots are vastly outnumbered by assholes and complete assholes. Consequently, the outrageously foolish “drug war” persists without pause.
Two-party political system OPENLY dominated by major corporations
The overwhelming majority of Americans genuinely believe that they have the freedom to select their government “representatives.” What fools! They’re merelytoo limited in understanding to recognize that the two political parties collaborate in significantly narrowing their options to a selection of candidates who commit to operating within the deeply corrupt, money-oriented US political framework. These fools remain oblivious to the reasons both political factions continue to exploit them annually. Obviously!
The only “choice” presented to these uninformed Americans is how they will be exploited (they can “choose” Democrats who will thrust it deep into their left ear or “choose” Republicans who will drive it home in their right ear). The legitimate choice that these American simpletons have is which portion of the middle class will face the most exploitation. Gullible Americans will soon make their way to the polls exclaiming, “I’m fed up with being taken advantage of in my left ear; I want to experience it in my right ear for a change.”
In sustaining a flagrant corrupt political framework, Americans question why they consistently get exploited irrespective of whom they “choose.” Obviously! Being a jerk, a complete halfwit, or even a moron or an imbecile is not sufficient. One must be a total asshole to believe that a highly corrupt, money-driven political framework (with tens of thousands of well-paid lobbyists TRANSPARENTLY purchasing political influence) could EVER result in a government that truly prioritizes the welfare of the American populace. America is evidently a nation of raving assholes! Obviously!
Outrageously out-of-control US military apparatus
Over the past decade, “defense” contractors have allocated almost a BILLION dollars openly purchasing political influence from the so-called “representatives” of the American public. In exchange, they secured lucrative contracts valued at hundreds of billions. Yet, most Americans are far too ignorant to connect these conspicuous legal bribes to America’s perpetual wars of aggression (and the overwhelming US military presence worldwide). Obviously!
Currently, America invests more in exorbitantly priced weapons than all other nations on the planet COMBINED! It allocates hundreds of billions to maintain military bases across 63 foreign countries! It stands out as the leading supplier of weapons of mass destruction globally (evidently, this represents America’s method of spreading peace and goodwill to everyone).
The US is on the verge of selling Saudi Arabia $60 billion worth of weapons of mass destruction. What a splendid humanitarian act! It is bound to foster peace in the Middle East. Clearly, Americans are the mental dwarfs of humanity.
As if that isn’t enough, to enhance its war-related profits, America spends billions further backing violently oppressive regimes worldwide (particularly in Muslim-dominated countries). America purposefully generates enemies faster than it can eliminate them (clearly, profits hold a higher priority than human lives).
A study estimates there are about sixty million assholes in America, along with around forty million complete assholes. Among various professions, mainstream media “journalists” exhibited the highest proportions in both categories. Their role is to keep the American population in a zombie-like stupor (and they certainly excel at it).
If it terrifies you to consider just how incredibly dense the average American is, merely reflect on the fact that half of them are even more daft! If brains were dynamite, Americans would barely possess enough to tip their hats.
