HE IS A FOOL

Well, in general, they achieved their goal – fools make up the majority.

The value of the Article itself is not very high, but it is a good and useful piece of content.

The main drawbacks are the excessive use of generalizations and a high emotional charge, which makes it difficult, and even unnecessary, to argue with the author's point of view. However, one can try to analyze what leads to the emergence of such Articles.

The word "fool" has too many interpretations, but, judging by the text, the author means something like this: "a person who is unable to solve the problems they face." Or, "a person who does not see the problems they face."

Even from this formulation, it is clear that it describes not a property of a specific person, but the nature of the relationship between a person and a problem. Therefore, before making any judgments about a person, it would be worth familiarizing oneself with the second component – the problem itself.

This partially explains the common criticism of the opposition – why don't you offer anything sensible in return? The allegory with the dead horse is not very successful here because a dead horse is obviously of no use, while any, however unpleasant, boss has the advantage of being a boss, that is, a structuring element of society. Without this element, society descends into anarchy, which, as repeated historical experience shows, is many times worse than any order.

For the above reason, I usually try to turn discussions about people or groups of people (not only in politics, but also in life) into discussions about the problems they face, successfully or unsuccessfully. Very often, the answers to questions are found precisely here, and the individual qualities of a person only give a stylistic coloring to actions, but not their main direction.
