Being poor and idolizing the rich.

Bigotry and prejudice. Not necessarily uneducated, but certainly poorly educated.

Being proud of not knowing things, and having no desire to change that.

Thinking that someone without a formal education is somehow beneath you.

People who litter. Throw their rubbish out the window of the car. Or who throw rubbish in public, like into drains or sidewalks.

It’s in the mentality, and I say the lack of education is the reason for it.

It’s sad to see the people of my country do this, and to see it with your own eyes.

Not being able to entertain ideas. "What would the world be like with 100% renewable energy?" "Would basic healthcare for every person help our country?"

I tried to explain the 4 day work week to someone that gets paid by the hour. You make the same money but work 4 days a week instead of 5. Insisted he got paid less. Had to explain like a Bingo card with a Free Space, 1 day he is paid even if he stays home.

Not trusting in science.

Being a conservative and accusing every progressive person of being a pedophile.

I see this in a lot of places I do work:

Toolboxes covered in union stickers, AND Trump stickers...

Being a baby. What do they even know?

Parents feeding their baby cola in bottles and smoking while pregnant are two things that usually cause me to make assumptions

taking Ayn Rand's work seriously. five seconds of critical thought and her entire philosophy comes crashing down

Being proud of not owning books

Not understanding the marginal tax rate.

They think opinions are facts.

Black/white thinking. Everything is either bad or good, the problem or the solution.

A Big Mouth Billy Bass that's been hacked with a recording of someone screaming "POORLY EDUCATED!"

Racism.

Reckless driving, speeding, having a loud car, having a lifted pickup truck.

Not wanting to tax the rich because "I might be rich one day".

Refusing to accept that they are wrong.

Anti vaxxers

Racist and intolerance to people different than them

"Let's go Brandon!" Bumper stickers.

Utter confidence in an area without expertise and without room for doubt or challenge.

Being a republican. Sure there are some educated grifters who decide to label themselves as republican, but your average republican voter is a mouth-breathing fucking idiot.

Associating with arbitrary groups, such as football fans, nationalists, wearing certain clothing brands

Not being curious. Education should never stop. You should constantly be seeking intriguing books, new ideas, different perspectives. Once you've lost your curiosity or pridefully believe in one opinion and one way of thinking, no matter your schooling, you have at that moment become poorly educated.

Trying to push mlm schemes like essential oils

Not listening to other people's opinions and ideas

"Whataboutism", or if you are unfamiliar with the term:

"The act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse"

People that use this mechanism are "poorly educated" and unable to hold a conversation and they should just be mocked by whatabouting even harder, so they can maybe understand that they're dumb and that's not how you should debate.

Example of the last argument I had recently with my dumb c*nt father:

• Me: You shouldn't idolize that politician, he evaded literally billions in taxes and that befalls on citizens like you
• Dumb c*nt father: Yeah? And what about that other politician?
• Me: What about the disappearing middle class?!
• D.C.F.: What...?
• Me: WHAT ABOUT THE BEES!?!

Believing that capitalism lifts people out of poverty.

religion and the belief in the supernatural/paranormal. also the belief in conspiracy theories.

Wearing camo and American flag shit in public. Honestly just having American flags on anything now pretty much is the same as that read hat

Nationalism
