I dislike this saying because it's always been assumed, never proven, that intelligence follows a normal distribution. That is if it can even be mapped to a single, consistent, comparable number.

But your point is valid. Though I'd add that it's not universally true. Fascists thrive on fear and ignorance. Give people access to a good education, which includes political education, and they are far more resilient to these tactics.

Which is why it's especially nefarious that conservatives love to undermine, vilify, and defund education.

I think they're generally just capable enough to not casually make enemies of each other, as they're both very influential people. They do speak the language of power and money.

But also they are both egomaniacs that choose strange hills to die on. So I could see an ill-advised falling-out.

Side note, I hate that as a society we're forced to waste any degree of attention on these thoroughly awful people.

What an absolutely disgusting crowd she fell in with at a young age, that poor woman. I despise these cliques of narcissistic abusers and their sycophants. Thanks for raising awareness.

And this case like most relationship issues comes down to insecurities and bad/non-existent communication. To which, let's face it, male socialization is a major contributor.

With stoicism and a fear of vulnerability, we're far too often standing standing in our own way.

Danke für die Info. Freundin bewirbt seit Jahren ihren Granitmörser und ich war kurz davor zuzuschlagen.

There are people in politics that believe in representative democracy and seek to influence the system for the better.

They either stay local, are ground up by the system, or become corrupted by money and power.

They have carrots and sticks for anyone, especially idealists.

The issue is proving that it ingested the original copyrighted work, and not some hypothetical public copyleft essay.

Sie arbeiten ja unermüdlich daran, den Rechtsruck den Wählern schmackhaft zu machen. Ist eine Frage der Zeit, und sobald das Tabu mal gebrochen ist spielt's eh keine Rolle mehr

It's a matter of time before he sacks it. Kinda surprised he hasn't already.
