Wearing camo and American flag shit in public. Honestly just having American flags on anything now pretty much is the same as that read hat

People who are proud about their lack of knowledge on a topic as if that somehow means that they were not programmed prior to the encounter.

Any reference to "common sense", which really means "what I believe". Violating it is used as a universal rebuttal for any intellectually sophisticated argument.

Not learning from history.

Also trying to sweep the nasty parts of history (basically most of it) under the rug.

Referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect in casual contexts. Most people who refer to it, have not really read about it enough to be qualified to use it.

Using an apostrophe in plurals. Don't know why but this one drives me insane.

Breaks for brakes, loose for lose.

Just pointing out that not everybody who can't spell shit is poorly educated.

Dyslexia, ADHD, having a different native language, ducking autocorrect, ... Lots of reasons.

Being poor or lower middle class and voting for right wing/conservatives. You essentially give away your hard earned money and give it to ultra rich and worsen the quality of your life.. usually because the right wing scares people to be afraid of other people and new phenomena.

It depends on how you interpret "educated". If including things that aren't learned on school: I think that fallacies, rushed certainties and decontextualisation scream "this individual was so poorly educated that they never learned how to think."

I think that everything else can be derived from the above, shitty moral premises, or a mix of both.

Those who always put loud music or talk as if they were alone in the bus/public places. Always the same people

MAGA Hats. Those people are dumb by choice. And that's less forgivable than people who just don't know any better.

Nah, addiction plagues the well and the poorly educated. I was acquainted with a couple of Nobel prize winners who smoked like chimneys.

regurgitating talking points from a third party and the inability to distinguish between divisive issues and issues of difference. I

am a college professor and pastor and when I teach theology there is a crazy high instance of people who just spit out exactly what their favorite celebrity pastor says and immediate decide that it trumps whatever you are saying. Then they are unwilling to yield any bit of their position and get offended that you disagree.

disagreements do not need to be so divisive. The constant need for affirmation shows that you actually have no idea what you are talking about

Using terms like 'u', 'ur', etc when writing. No one charges by the letter, it's simply lazy.
