We’re living in an age of participation trophies and selfie sticks.

And for some reason, people are being encouraged to speak on things about which they’re completely unaware.

Black-masked fascists are fascistically fighting for fascism while calling themselves the opposite as some applaud and agree (here).

Revolutionaries are hocking socialism without ever having stopped to find out what it means (here).

Black people are being called white supremacists (here).

People are raging with bigotry while condemning the word (here).

Why know things? Why make sense? Just assume you already know all that is in the world, with no reason to think so. It can get you elected to Congress (here).

It can also land you a position as noted activist — just witness David Hogg’s recent point-making tweet:

Buying an AR-15 shouldn’t be easier than voting. — David Hogg (@davidhogg111) September 2, 2019

You might think he’d wanna find out if that’s true first. But nope!

So here we go:

It’s not. Try it sometime. — Jeremy Baker (@Baker5858) September 2, 2019

It's not, but it absolutely should be This is the 2nd Amendment we're talking about here No law-abiding American should be priced out of exercising their constitutional right to keep and bear arms Subsidize gun purchases#MyGunMyChoice — Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) September 2, 2019

Voting: it's free, just show up and be a citizen Buying a firearm: 100's-1000's dollars, background check, permission from ATF(unconstitutional) for certain items, Age restricts on some items. — Task Force Dupe (@DupeTask) September 4, 2019

That's probably why it isn't. — Tim Jones (@TimmyJ3030) September 4, 2019

Do you have to fill out 4473, give the FFL dealer your drivers license, and have a background check down in order to vote every year? — John Z. (@Vacherieboy) September 2, 2019

People offered a variety of angles:

David Hogg ladies and gentleman, a boy that has never bought a gun or voted. Most likely he’s never paid rent or served his country either. It’s safe to say he hasn’t read the Constitution and definitely has no idea how the bill of rights was formed or why #2A exists. #worthless — Jonathan T Gilliam (@JGilliam_SEAL) September 2, 2019

Getting into Harvard shouldn’t be easier than voting. — See Jack Run (@CrackaJackin) September 2, 2019

Swing and a miss, soy boy. — Hammer (@Skervy) September 2, 2019

Do you get paid in stupidity points? Dead people can’t buy AR-15s but they will be voting in the next election. — Rob Dew (@DewsNewz) September 3, 2019

Nearly every elected official in California would lose their jobs overnight. — Dairenn (デーレン) (@Dairenn) September 3, 2019

That's because all you have to do is walk across our border and you can vote. — Scott0064 (@Scott0664) September 3, 2019

So there ya go, folks.

But I’ve saved the best for last.

It doesn’t get better than this:
