.Our enemies are affected by an opposite, bottom-up stupidity cycle. This is because their social center of gravity is not at the top but down in the bottomless pit of 80-IQ biomass which comprises their societies. Therefore, even the intellectuals of their societies exist in the context of a profoundly idiotic narrative disconnected from basic objective reality.
A example is a 2023 poll of Palestinians which revealed that half of them think that Israel’s population was 1 million or fewer, and less than a quarter had a realistic grasp of its size. This is not due to lack of access to accurate information-smartphones with internet access are universally available. Rather, these people are just fantastically stupid. And this isn’t something unique to Palestinians-if anything, due to many decades of Israel-sponsored university construction and access to Israeli society, the Palestinians are highly educated relative to the Muslim median.
Even without ubiquitous AI slop, the Egyptians were able to retcon the Yom Kippur War, which ended with Israeli forces on the Western side of the Suez Canal and a Egyptian army cut off and dying of thirst in the desert, as a tremendous achievement worth naming
major cities after.
Further, unlike the Talented Tenth (of a tenth,) the vast majority of the biomass isn’t even smart enough to experience cognitive dissonance, and has no trouble whatsoever holding the most transparently insane, self-serving and contradictory beliefs. For instance, October 7th was a triumph of the highest order, with all the rape, murder, looting and enslavement being the righteous behavior of victorious and heroic Muslims, while subsequent Jewish actions in Gaza represent violations of justice and sacred international law. Similarly, It’s Over For America, because the glorious martyrs of the IRGC are going to rain hellfire on international shipping transiting the Straits of Hormuz and otherwise engage in awesome global guerrilla 5G warfare against the Great Satan’s civilian infrastructure, but also dropping bombs on Ayatollah Khamenei and sinking Iranian warships in the Indian Ocean is a heckin immoral war crime. Etcetera, ad nauseum. The AI slop only makes things worse, because all of these morons are constantly exposed to fake footage of Tel Aviv being blown into the Mediterranean by giant missiles as the Jews shriek and cringe in fear.
Now, you might think that this civilizational retardation would be a huge military liability, and at any other point in history, it would have resulted in its sufferers being wiped out or set to work in the salt mines, which would have been eugenic. But we live at a unique time in history when its effect is paradoxical. This is because first world societies are, as I alluded to above, disproportionately influenced by high IQ idiots. The latter have never interacted with 80 IQ people on any level beyond buying menial services from them, and have a theory of mind for them which is worse than inaccurate. They assume a give-and-take which simply isn’t there, and could never be.
Therefore, all our enemies have to do to win is not to lose all the way. A defeat one doesn’t perceive as such is not a defeat. Even if we kill tens of thousands of them while losing a handful of our own soldiers, their mentality is such that they do not feel any empathy for each other, and thus no sorrow for their own losses, but only joy at ours.
