Ace’s Theory on the Proud Ignorance of the Political Class

June 15, 2017 by V the K

Ace has a theory that the elite political class (both journalists and politicians) don’t care when they make monumentally stupid and ignorant statements about guns.

They are proud of being ignorant of guns because knowledge of guns would mark them as deplorables, or, at minimum, as the kind of peasants in flyover who know proper gun terminology.

They are like aristocratic 19th Century women who were proud of having no useful skills, because only the lower class should know of such things. Or straight guys who are proud of knowing nothing about gay culture. (“So, what’s a bear again? Is that like a fat guy?”)

So our country is governed by a class of people who are completely ignorant of the things they want to regulate, and genuinely take pride in their ignorance. Fabulous.

    While I think you’re being facetious, straight guys needing to know gay culture, when that culture is less than 5% of the population, is not as nccessary as the “elite”, or new aristocracy (which is anywhere from 1% to 10% of the population), needing to know the remainder 90% or so of the population’s culture.

    It’s part of their narcissism. They don’t NEED to know, because the information is irrelevant.

    “They are like aristocratic 19th Century women who were proud of having no useful skills, because only the lower class should know of such things.”

    Yup. Me thinks you are on to something.

    That’s their mentality.

    I’m guessing their genes and zealous do-gooding benevolence are way too superior to the stubbornly conservative-minded, more prudent, more frugal, and more individually responsible — peasants we are

    Cyril, you’re on to something there. They don’t need any more knowledge than what they think are good intentions to their lessers.

    I am not fat. I am volumetrically privileged.

    Their ignorance doesn’t mean they are not a threat to our liberty.

    @8:

    Your comments reminds me Alexandre Dumas’ :

    “I prefer rogues to imbeciles, because they sometimes take a rest.”
