the zombie stupid must abide

nothing will get you locked out on the ye olde serotta forum quicker than some pushback against the zombie stupid.  the self-styled galtian morons, pathetic, scum-gurgling weasel assholes, and worthless, koch-sucking dicknozzles were out in force, and it was a thread about the fucking post office!  as usual, there was some mild confusion and generally ill-informed centrist pablum coughed up by the usual suspects, and when someone with half a clue offered up some sanity as pushback, a servile attack-chipmunk locked the thread.  (about the only thing missing was some fucking dipshit cut-and-pasting four or five pages of demonstrably false--and insane--talking points from cato, the american enterprise institute, the heartland institute and freedom works; he musta' been busy patching his blow-up sheep.)  i understand that the sickening political bias of a failing bicycle company whose owner lived like a latter-day robber baron while his company collapsed is low-calorie entertainment compared to the serious problems that the united states faces given our moribund economy, dysfunctional, one-party political culture and corroding middle-class, but the way those hopeless, pampered, reactionary assholes smear their ignorance of even the most basic concepts all over that forum is a sad commentary on state of our society.
