I was thinking about it this morning, and snakes are not really that clever, from what I can tell. They are not cunning. They are SNEAKY. They are really, really good at going unnoticed until they strike.
And this is how snakey people are. They don’t have to be that bright. They just have to be really good at seeming to be something they are not.
The Nazis were not really exceptional as human beings. Hitler was good at reading people, at knowing how to rile them up, but he was not that smart otherwise. Goebbels was talented at deception, but was otherwise nothing special.
And the same can be said of all the Communists. As many, many people have remarked, what is remarkable about the people who committed all these crimes is their mediocrity, their lack of wit and wisdom, their lack of talents and creativity. They are just dull, dull people, and they surround themselves with dull, gray people.
And I am very sure the same can be said of the people mostly running the world now, and who are now seeking complete and more or less open control. Can you imagine having a beer with Bill Gates? Or Anthony Fauci? I’ve met a ton of guys like Fauci in bars. I pick up on their BS immediately. He is a cocky asshole, who says whatever suits him at the moment.
Life is full of what look like tragedies from this level, and one of them is how often the rancid rise to the top. All it takes is a plan, consistency, and a willingness to use any means necessary. And I think for many of these people, the means ARE the ends: crapping on people is the goal, and the main focus is just on increasing the range of their shit.
