One idiot even has the most popular podcast in the world and tons of idiots listen to him. Feels like the idiots are in the majority if I'm being honest.

The main problem is now all the idiots can talk to each other
Before the internet:
The village idiot got caned.
After the internet:
The village idiot got a Better Help sponsorship.
We also believed people was dumb because they lacked access to culture. Boy, were we naive...
Also people used to fear of being shamed and had to make effort to make themselves not the idiot. With the internet, the idiots are encouraged to be proud to be an idiot.
And when you met the village idiot, they came across as shifty or drunk or something. There's a big difference between being told 9/11 conspiracy theories by someone missing half their teeth in a bar and being told 9/11 conspiracy theories by a Facebook user using auto correct even if it's the same person.
"All you smarty pantses with your fancy literacy and critical thinking skills."
there are many villages
And villageidiot dot com is giving them all a place to meet up.
Yeah sometimes the village is full of idiots.
You thought people were saying "the village idiot," but it was the name of the whole town, "the village, Idiot."
Thank you! That's what I'm saying for years. Villages, seemingly, had that one idiot screaming from the market place. Turns out not only has it been more than one village idiot, they're connecting and screaming louder than ever before.
Villages are 51% idiots
Now there are idiot kings everywhere.
VERY wrong 🪑
