“Smart People Aren’t Political”

“Just look at Trump and Elon”

Somehow this comment got 9 upvotes in the thread yesterday. Which is crazy cuz it’s wrong on multiple levels.

First of all, some of the smartest people to ever walk this planet were extremely political.

Examples:

• Albert Einstein (socialist)
• Carl Sagan (socialist. He feigns ignorance to this word in a famous interview because he knew how reactionary people could be to it)
• Noam Chomsky (this dude says the Republican Party is the most dangerous organization this world has ever seen, and i think he’s correct)
• Stephen Hawking (Socialist)

And to claim trump is smart is just… dumb. Elon is also a grifter. These guys are ruthless in the capitalist system. Elon doesn’t have a single significant patent to his name. He claims to be an inventor but he just takes other peoples ideas.

I hope some of y’all will wake up to the grift. Being rich doesn’t make you smart, it makes you selfish.

Gandhi was much smarter than most. He was able to liberate India from Great Britain with non violence. Talk about a genius.
