In reply to the discussion: I was attacked and screamed at in 2018 by an insane woman named Marjorie Taylor Greene. [View all]Whiskeytide
(4,654 posts)42. I think of her more as a "bandit" than a "stupid" person, although ...
she is likely close to the stupid axis. She derives a benefit from her actions - publicity and power within her party (because of her following among the cult base). Since a stupid person is one who takes action that harms both themselves and others, she shares the characteristics of a bandit more than a stupid person.
However, youve pointed out that her actions may ultimately cause her harm if taken too far, and thats something to think about. If that occurs, she might cross the vertical axis and meet the criteria of Cipollas 3rd law.
