I was a "men's right activist" because I don't like radical feminism and don't think girls should wear miniskirts and crop tops to school. I was a Putinist troll because I have East Slavic ancestry and like some Russian thinkers like Tsiolkovsky or Solovyov. Of course all of that according to kids half my age.
So I quit most debate websites, though this one is friendly enough to be an exception.
Any group of zealots will inevitably contain a large number of absolutists who are simply incapable of rational thought. That's true on the left as much as the right, with one caveat: it's vastly more prevalent on today's right. So yes, stupid is not bound by philosophy.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
