Not the Najib addendum. The theory of stupidity. Tales by an unknown blogger no 42

1. This is my own addendum. It's an addendum on my earlier article on UMNOs Da Vinci code searching for the elusive addendum.

2. It's not about the purported addendum wailed by Najib's supporters. Rather it about the behavior of some people towards that wretched imagined addendum. To be more specific, it's about the stupidity spawned by the imagined addendum.

3. The behavior of these people underscores the relevance of Carlo Cipolla and Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theory of stupidity.

4. By his own admission, the pm said it was he who suggested that Najibs application for pardon be heard by the ftpb. That was a stupid suggestion.

5. that may have earned the PM a few brownie points. Najibs lead lawyer considers Anwar as a nice and good person. A thuggish UMNO leader, recently reinstated to the DOP(decrepit old party)aka UMNO, says that whatever Anwar does, is the best

6. Yeah, we know the drill. A judicial decision that favours UMNO is justice. A decision that doesn't favour umno is injustice.

7. Justice for Najib is total exoneration. If the crook in chief is punished , that's injustice.

8. The otherwise reasonable people who support Najib the crook in chief, are sucked into the whirlpool of collective stupidity. They willfully surrender their rational reasons to unquestioningly subscribe to the dominant ideas told by demagogues and agent provocateurs planted by Najib and the DOP decrepit old party aka UMNO.

9. This is the classic Bonhoeffer type of stupidity where otherwise reasonable people fully condone the ethnic cleansing policies of Adolph Hitler. They surrender their rational reasons to the leading ideas of the Aryan master race

10. In our case, otherwise rational people surrender their rational reasons to accept the storyline as told by demagogues and agent provocateurs.

11. The storyline that Najib, instead of being the chip author of heinous crimes, is the victim of an elaborate conspiracy involving among others Soros's son , a fugitive chubby Chinaman and later, for more dramatic effect, the DAP!

12. Social scientists named this collective stupidity by many names. Groupthink, herd instinct, 'sontoloyo' the duck sheepherder or simply the fire ant behavior .

13. You know how anta behave -they will blindly follow the leader even if the latter goes round and round. They will also go round and round until exhausted, they die off

14. Let's hope enthusiasm for Najib, like the fire ants blindfully following their leader will also die off.

15. Once these people realized they have been hoodwinked, bamboozled by the charlatans, the demagogues, the agent provocateurs and the little Hitlers .

16. The need to conform to the group is so strong that it overrides any personal capacity to think independently and critically.

17. It's almost that these people , out of fear of being ostracized, are driven by the herd instincts to jump into the river into the gnawing jaws of the Nile crocodiles. Hello brothers and sisters, you are food for the crocodiles.

18. It gives me no pleasure to write these last few points . I may criticize nana tambun but I support him as pm.

19. He may have earned a few brownie points. Notably from Najib's lawyer and one thuggish UMNO leader. But the loss he suffers is immeasurable.

20 . The greater loss which the pm suffers is the faith the people have in him as the 'chip' change agent. Instead of change, its more of the same. The loss in faith people have in him affects his political longevity. He must be cognizant of this

21. His bourgeois sense of justice seems to get the better of him. What's important to him is sticking to due process, the technicalities of the law.
