No. They have different values than you. You can call their values cruel and perhaps call them cruel for having them, I may agree with you. But it is absolutely wrong to call these people dumb.

People don't get that riled up over wrong opinions. It's differing values and fundamental conflicts of interest.

Wrong to call ALL of them dumb? Sure. Some are just ignorant and misinformed. But plenty of them are simply dumb.

Begging your pardon, I mean the attitude of the meme(r) is "people dumb therefore I must call dumb".

P.S. some do seem to be pretty dumb though
