"We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people will not be offended."

[AnnaLee]

1. I find I am becoming equally intolerant of shallow people.

Shallow people wade on the perimeter of life. They never swim or dive into the depths of anything.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

2. So true

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. Who's being silenced?

[Mr.Bill]

5. Usually it's someone that is standing

at a podium behind a microphone in front of a large crowd that is complaining about being silenced. You can sometimes find them on Television speaking to millions of people.

4. Nails it.

[Elessar Zappa]

6. The problem is,

everyone thinks they’re one of the intelligent ones and it’s the others who are stupid (myself too, admittedly).

[genxlib]

9. That was my take as well

I could easily see that being posted by some anti-vaxer or other idiot who thinks they know better

[calimary]

11. Well, there is that, but I would also consider that it's a post by DUer kentuck,

whose reputation as of “the good guys” here is pretty well-established over a long time.

And if it did originate from the other camp, well then, let’s grab that quote and make it work FOR US.

[LA Blue Bengal]

16. That's usually where I see

this quote. Antivaxxer, flat earthers, and other conspiracy nuts

[Warpy]

7. Very plucky of you to sift through all the Russian propaganda to find that

You get the gold star today.

[HUAJIAO]

8. Same as happened to Galileo.

[liberalla]

10. That rings true to me!

[surfered]

12. Agreed, and ignorant people like conspiracy theories,...

…because it’s self validating, knowing something that “smart” people don’t know.

[SupportSanity]

13. Yes. Remember, ignorance is bliss. It works so well for the dictator.

"Owl," said Rabbit shortly, "you and I have brains. The others have fluff."
From Winnie the Pooh

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Very true

[pansypoo53219]

15. i shall not be quiet. the MORON is a cancer on democracy.

[czarjak]

17. Not being listened to is not being silenced.

And I'm offended. Bigly.
