how do you cope with being surrounded by retards?

Professionally? I've worked with some electricians and technicians that are slower, but very few were actually stupid. Having said that they are down to earth, so they're easy to get along with and most have a willingness to learn. The presence of mind I've developed with clients is they probably know more about some things than you do, and you know more about some things than they do.

On the Internet? Laugh at them.

You can judge someones character from the people they're around and If you're constantly surrounded by retards then you're retarded too. Odds are they're thinking the exact same about you and they're probably right

I call that the dilemma of people who are surrounded being besieged in a fortified stronghold know that they're going to be raped and murdered but refuse to pick up a spear and man the battlements those people should be slaves.
Congratulations you don't have slave mentality like the rest of the population probably 90% of people on Kiwi farms don't have slave mentality even the brain dead leftists who still inhabit this website.

A friend of mine who actually is a political science teacher said it like this leftist is a very appealing philosophy even to smart people because it gives you all of the warm fuzzy feelings of being a good person without actually being a good person every leftist person I've ever met in my life at one point has screwed me out of money .

I cope with retards the same way I cope with everyone else I don’t really want to talk to. I ignore them. When I absolutely can’t ignore them (i.e. I need something, like interacting with the retards at the DMV or some shit like that), I try to use simple language and interact with them just enough to get what I want, then ignore them.

You might have missed a period there, but also, progressives screwing you out of money, must be a day that ends in y.

I mean, they’re not called niggercattle because they radiate self-sufficiency and will take charge of their own lives. I mean, how many psycho twitter/bluesky retards that aren’t African pepperoni enthusiasts even carry a gun?

For coof I always talk about the PPE contracts handed out becasue it’s a matter of record and it’s something nobody has any trouble believing. Once you’ve sadly told them that yeah that guy in government haded an x million quid contract to his mate, you can agree that politicians are a corrupt bunch. Then you go from there to ‘oh yeah and …’ and just gently gently chip chip chip.
You cannot ever shove it in someone’s face and say they were fooled, the number of people who are psychologically able to take that is minuscule. You have to let them walk it there themselves or they will fight it all the way.

lucklily i never had to reach there , by the time his turn came up there was sweden study showing males under 30 were at risk of croaking form heart issues due to the vaccine and then all his coworkers got sick even though they were triple vaxxed it turned to a joke by the end of it. That and our pile gold appreciated by roughly 50%, or the fact that 5 years ago evs were all the rage and now they all drop in value and people try to get rid of them because they are fucking useless. All my predictions turned right so he cant argue me . For others i just play cheeki breeki I am slavic janny with horrible accent. No point to argue with idiots .

not well, honestly. I'd love to be a more social person but I find myself being forced into smaller and smaller circles as I get older simply because my growth vector is divergent from the herd's. as an outsider looking in, I realize the exclusiveness of my autism bubble and take pains to explore and understand other people's worlds. normies will never reciprocate that effort. all normies exist in the same bubble and have no conception that anything exists outside of it, so being presented with anything outside of their box just causes their brains to go into zone defense mode and actively edit over the information flowing into their sense organs. the vast majority of people are not interested in learning anything new, thinking about anything they don't already agree with, or expanding their universe in any way. I'm always learning to speak their language, but nobody bothers trying to learn mine. I can't remember the last time anybody outside of the handful of autists I'm friends with online showed any genuine interest in any of my honest thoughts or opinions, or any of the things I like. the wider the gap becomes, the more work it takes to bridge it, the more exhausting it is to maintain the connection; the older I get, the more it burns me out. I don't like feeling like a hyper-isolated autist but I find myself increasingly resigned to it as time goes on.

I feel like a retard myself a lot , honestly most of the time so I guess it balances out. the amount of stuff I dont know vastly outweighs the little bit I do.
If you mean how to get people to have a bit of a think about some of the rubbish they’re told well you can’t directly. They have to come to the understanding themselves.
You can of course help them there. You have to drop a few very small little wedges that they can believe and let them gradually see more.

The older I get the less I think of my intellectual chops and the more I realise I’m as clueless as everyone else. Probably not great for the ego but there it is

Too much effort!

They could be Pigs OR Queers, so there's THAT confounding element.

I guess it was at a time where it was considered deterrence, and we've only recently escalated to the point where you're more of a target, what with the cultural shift of power to criminals, which is why I avoid shitty parts of town.

It's more of a violent time now than at any point in my life than I can remember.

Oh I know the 1990's mustache cop look.

I can assure you there is a massive amount of nepotism within law enforcement. Big dept. small dept. it's almost like a fraternity or what people used to think the freemasons were. Before body cams became standard, if there was a domestic violence situation and one party was law enforcement the other party simply went to jail that night for battery and or assault. There are even special made car license plate covers that note you have given a certain amount of money to a law enforcement charity, I promise you even the right bumper sticker will get you out of a ticket or even DUI.

You want my opinion? The typical hood nigger who talks all the gangster shit still runs from the police. I had one bring a knife to gunfight and bring that fight to me in a dark alleyway, I don't think I've ever seen someone run faster from me in my life. Put the fear of god into that piece of shit and I regret nothing. Over the last few decades we've had a few people have full on gunfights with the PD. The ones that did not result in police winning the gunfight were white. Fun fact: just because white mass shooters are more effective does not mean they outnumber the black mass shooters. My attempt at humor.
 
I weaponize my own arguments and propoganda (in this instance not necessarily lies or anything of the sort) back at them. Those who have something deeper in the recess of their brain usually come around. Those who don't get to be made a fool of or continue their mistakes.

Over time of discussing things with people and being open and outspoken on some of the subjects I'm knowledgeable about I've met many individuals who were able to develop from knowledge insertion, almost like an infection or spread. Along the lines of memetics I'd wager.

It reminds me of a teen I once coached who used to hate that I would insult what I call "gerbil brain" or "normie mentality." However, as he developed his knowledge he now understands the issue.

The other aspect unlike many other posters in this topic is not about focusing too much on the lack of knowledge but focusing on the information I do know. There is always more to learn and adapt to, just make sure to realize when you're mistaken (fully mistaken and not just being gas lit or someone else being mistaken), and never ending development. You only become a moron or dimwit when you refuse to learn from your mistakes. Not knowing something leads to questions which is far from being a retard.

One can be lacking information and be intelligent enough not to speak on a lack of research or adapt to that lack quickly in, that does not make one a retard unlike constant clout chasers who run their mouth merely to hear their head rattle, and feel pride in speaking bullshit on a subject the know less than jack and shit about.

There's no need to cope of gerbil brain people, merely learn to use them to spread your own knowledge, whether through repetition, propoganda or other and those that can't be swayed... Merely learn their arguments and how to easily destroy them or make a fool of them. That way your time isn't wasted on such interactions. Never forget :

"There is no knowledge that is not power."

On that note: I agree with the posters implying birds of a feather mentality, generally the smarter you are the higher intelligent people will gravitate toward you or those open to at least adapting and learning. No need to seclude oneself, just be weary of who you hang out with though that's not always so easy depending on your luck.

It's also why when I argue I present my argument to an audience not to the person I'm arguing.
 
If I realize I'm talking to a total mong, I take the first opportunity to make an excuse and leave. After that, I try to limit my interactions with them. Having a conversation with them isn't worth the frustration, so as funny as their antics can be I keep them at a bit of a distance. Personally, I can only handle that shit in small doses. Or if I'm watching it from behind the glass on the Farms, I suppose. Profoundly stupid people fuck things up constantly and even put themselves and others in danger, so when shit inevitably hits the fan due to something they did (again), I'd rather avoid being dragged into it somehow. Not to mention that when you become close acquaintances with a real dumbfuck, it's just a matter of time until they start asking for money.

There are people out there who are still capable of critical thinking and developing an independent opinion by trying to inform themselves on the topic (rather than just going along with whichever opinion seems the most popular). They just seem scarce because they're mostly working blue collar jobs and are busy as shit.
 
I have to dumb down my conversations and only smarten them incrementally if they're capable of handling it. But some of them are so mentally unstable they're not worth talking to.
