What we see from the outside, is that a lot of people (poors, rednecks, trailer park people, etc) voted for him to gut ObamaCare, not knowing they were on it too... All those people don't want to pay for others healthcare even if they themselves don't pay a penny in taxes and get them for free.
Osho was right. Successful democracy relies on the people's collective intelligence. Unfortunately, some demographics are running on a deficit of intelligence and/or factual information.
Osho is not a good role model. And that is a pretty fashy line of thinking…
Is it? Or are you mixing up "demographic" with "ethnicity"? People who are raised in an environment that does not promote individual thought (like overly religious or politically one-sided groups, or any setting where tribal mentality is dominant) will not have access to the same quality of information, and will likely be subjected to some kind of indoctrination. Adoption of the group's ideals may be forced by societal pressure, and resistance may be met with punishment. A child exposed to a constant rhetoric about how "those dang dirty democrats are stealing our tax dollars and lying about everything, believe your daddy" and no way to confirm or deny it will likely grow up to be an adult repeating that rhetoric. I know because I used to be like that, and it took massive conscious effort to unlearn it.
Also, I literally only know of Osho from that one clip and have no interest in researching a religious leader, reason above.
No… just that generalising like this, and saying some groups are “intellectually deficient”, even if you don’t mean race or ethnicity, still is unscientific and unhelpful.
The mistake of race and racism wasn’t the specifics of discrimination on skin color. It’s discriminating whole groups based off of vibes and arbitrary boxes.
lol someone from .ml trying to correct your thought crime
they probably think that not having children is eco fascism
