Charges: Your whole life has been a pitiful exercise in rote mimicry, a meek subjugation of individuality in exchange for herd approval. Your delusions of “common sense” wisdom stem from an unwillingness to seek information and an inability to critically analyze it. You never hesitate to offer strong opinions on subjects you don\u2019t know a damn thing about. You\u2019re willing to believe anything a guy in a suit says on TV, as long as it doesn\u2019t hint at your culpability in the negligent homicide of your country and planet or otherwise cloud your streak-free conscience. You\u2019re more worried about friction on the “Desperate Housewives” set than the lack of health coverage at your tedious, soul-destroying job. You have no idea what is going on in the world, and you\u2019re fine with that. You are why democracy doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

Exhibit A: You\u2019re Time magazine\u2019s person of the year. So was Hitler.<\/p>\n
