Are the masses stupid?

Are the masses stupid? I think a significant percentage of the masses regularly base decisions on emotion, hatred, bias and beliefs that continuously have results that are the opposite of beneficial to healthy, happy, compassionate and the betterment of the world we live in. To want more and chose a path resulting in less while there are thousands of years of history available showing the outcome prior to the endeavor, that to me is stupid. To ignore the fact that when you oppress and unfairly treat a group of peoples they will forever battle to undermine the oppressors, that is stupid. To turn a blind eye to the fact that inflicting hate breeds hate and an action of aggression resonates for years or centuries into the future. That problems are not solved by building walls around the symptoms. Look at China, Berlin, Palestine, and N Korea to see past, present and future versions of walls that have and will fail. To overlook that the feudal system is a natural tendency of the masses and government structures are an attempt to prevent a privileged few assholes from taking all the wealth and enslaving the rest. Our government is an attempt to diversify power and guide the country with wisdom and balance yet the masses ignore wisdom and balance and flock directly toward dishonesty, greed and those most power hungry. The masses don’t think, they switch blindly to mob-mentality seeking a leader to guide them into a bloody clash if all is peaceful and out of the ashes once all is destroyed. The masses want to be led, as the concept of cooperative individuality is beyond comprehension. The masses are stupid. Predictable, but stupid. Intelligence, wisdom and compassion are traits that tend to radiate from individuals and if enough individuals embrace these traits, cooperation towards common positive productive goals becomes the future.

I believe in honest ethical treatment of people

I believe in honest ethical treatment of people. I believe in compassion towards those in need and accountability held against promises made. I believe in hard work towards your goals rewarded. And free rides denied. I believe that sharing successes with less fortunate is enjoyable as is deeply appreciating a helping hand while in distress. Am I to be labeled a liberal? Am I a conservative? Am I just a person that finds a balance between selfish and selfless? What am i?

Here is a picture I took 2 weeks ago at the Berlin Wall

Here is a picture I took 2 weeks ago at the Berlin Wall. It is a crew awaiting the next flock of tourist to scam in a con game called “the shell game” . The guy pointing at me is the one that moves the shells, the 4 people in front pretend to be bystanders winning money, the two against the wall are lookouts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_game So I have explained all this and it is a fairly obvious and transparent scam that takes money from the naive and foolish humans. Now that you have this info you are faced with a choice. Should you encounter a similar situation do you play and believe you will win or do you avoid as you are aware it is a con? This is very similar to what we see with Trump, he is a con, it is clear and obvious. What puzzles the mind is why do Trump supporters dive head first into playing the shell game?
