Stupid exists. 3 to 5 decades of infantilization has protected the stupid by removing the negative selection pressure of bad decision making. People have been bred to be stupid and passive. It makes them easy to control and kill, like any other type of livestock. Try raising Bison for meat. It is very hard and very dangerous. They are not just big, grumpy cows.

These people are victims and for that I am sorry for them. None the less, the choice to live, to protect their children, falls to them.
