Das unsägliche Wort #Idiot war mal ein gängiger Ausdruck für #geistigBehinderte. Von Anfang an hatte es eine abwertende Bedeutung, als ginge es um persönliches Versagen oder Schuld. #ableismus

Weil diese Assoziation weiterbesteht, hält es sich als Schimpfwort für persönliches Versagen. Dabei hat Versagen am wenigsten mit #Intelligenz zu tun, auch wenn viele das glauben!

#Versagen oder nicht misst sich daran, ob die eigenen Kapazitäten und Ressourcen angemessen einsetzt wurden.

#US #Industrialisation
#Trump #Idiot

Here's Ben Norton, of The Geopolitical Economy Report, explaining why the US will not achieve the re-industrialisation Trump has been trumpeting about in his campaign trail, and still is ... totally absurd plan given that what he's doing is exactly the opposite of an industrialisation plan.

Magnificent explanation. Even I got it.

Mel: Why are you in such a foul mood, Donnie?

Don: It's these damned daily briefings.

Mel: What's wrong with them?

Don: I don't understand any of it! I don't know what they're talking about. It's always blah blah this and blah blah that, and they just go on and on.

Mel: You should use that trick. You tell them "Explain it to me like I'm five years old", and then they make it much simpler and shorter.

Don: Hmmf. I'll try that.

<next day>

Mel: You're even grumpier than yesterday. The daily briefing again?

Don: Yes.

Mel: Did you tell them to explain it to you like you're five years old?

Don: Yes. They said they didn't want to make the briefings more complex than they already were.
