You can be a useful idiot for many reasons.
Fear in many cases.
Greed in some others.
Are the prison guard of jails - who's inmates are there because they smoked a plant- nothing more than this..?
Paycheck over ethical behavior.
Are taxpayers nothing more than this?
A quiet life and a slow death of the soul is preferable, over ethical behavior?
People know this.
They know they are being useful idiots, and the pawns of other peoples desires.
And they put up with for various reasons excuses.
These are the useful idiot 'flock'. Obedient sheep.
Apathetic (pathetic), rather than dangerous.
Then there are the dangerous useful idiots...
Sure the sociopaths and narcissists fulfill this role nicely - but they are not 'idiots'.
You see, they understand their role in the corrupt scheme of things, and are more than happy playing the game.
No, there is a much more dangerous group.
This other group are immeasurably larger in terms of numbers.( relative to the very few sociopaths and narcissist in our midst).
They are legion by comparison.
And THAT'S why they are far more dangerous... numbers.
Who are 'they', then?
Let me tell you in pictures. I'm in a piccy mood, and it illustrates who these people are.. perfectly.
