Because their stupidity should be painful for them for a change instead of just the rest of us.

The world would be better if we had more stupid and tolerant people rather then intelligent but dickish people.

There is no such thing as a "harmless idiot".

Mocking people is wrong. IQ is genetic.

You will make fun of someone and they will make fun of you.

Stupidity should be mocked?

Yeah, I get what you mean, like a blanket mockery of people who are not that smart, or even ignorant in some ways just isn't good. If they do something harmful or malicious that's the real problem. I think a lot of people feel validation if they can insult others for their intelligence, like it makes them feel better about themselves and also it is sort of a group strengthening behavior.

IQ has nothing to do with being stupid.

incorrect, not-eon. iq measures human intelligence. stupid is the opposite of intelligent.

That's definitely not true.

There's plenty of intelligent people that are stupid.

And plenty of people with low iqs that are more intelligent than their iqs suggest.

It depends on the context. If you just treat all stupid people as rudely as possible, that's not a way to behave unless you're super rich or Cartman. If you treat stupid people who think they know it all rudely, they earned it.

Thanks to modern internet, stupid people can remain blissfully ignorant and in echo chambers of confirmation bias with little effort. So in those cases, those stupid people need to be taught their idiocy has consequences.

It's one thing if someone is naive or just ignorant and wants to learn or develop; I have no issue with those people, because we all started there. But when people are just stupid beyond reason, unyielding to logic, and won't learn anything... They made their cake and they must lie in it.

so basically you're incorrectly redefining "intelligent" and "stupid" to fit you 100% incorrect assertion.

If people are ignorant by choice, and when presented with facts refuse to accept them, they deserve mockery. Just being low iq (maybe bad at their job or school or something) isn't reason for mockery.

For instance, anyone saying the election was stolen from Trump at this stage, is willfully ignorant and ripe for ridicule.

How dare you question the wisdom and mental acuity of greats like Gina and the MyPillow guy?

Those are verified experts, just like Jenny McCarthy.
