No. Yes, not smart enough though.
depends on if you think taking advantage of others is intelligence. most evil people aren't solving difficult problems to do what they need to do to manipulate others. same with the rich in many cases. all kinds of ideas in management and business but in the end it's basic math to sell for more than it cost you or fail. average people either are good, kept in line by fear, or don't believe in themselves enough to try in the case of being self-employed.
If he was smart, he could've won the war.
Who?
Smart and evil being tied together wasn’t the point. The message was that being smart is terrible. Worse than being ‘oh vey bad guy’. Because knowledge leads to many things like power, maybe evil, but most certainly depression
No
"Smart is evil" is usually the authors trying to justify his character's actions.
For Rick to work as a character, he has to be relatable, and Rick isn't relatable when he is using he Op-pls-nerf plot powers to basically damn for all eternity people. When that happens, the shit authors just say : "oh no, he's not being a massive cunt, he's just *smart*"
That, and also, some people have no moral compass and basically will justify anything that further their goal, completely blinds to the horrors they cause.
Hitler was smart. He was not evil.
No evil person is smart.
Not actually, they lost and that's it. They're not going to come back ever again.
nazis created a breakaway civilization and created machines that can travel through hyperspace
Their spirit will live on as long as there is a single German left alive.
Your grandfather would be disappointed man.
My grandfather redpilled me on the holobunga, ethnic makeup of the party and the man made famines. Not everyone was a brainless golem.
You're a brainless fucking monkey, what do you know?
>unironically supporting an ideology that wants me dead
yes, you, you commie mutt. not him.
You do realize they gave Russians religious freedom to practice Orthodox Christianity right? In response to that move Stalin gave religious autonomy back to churches and their leaders to a certain extent so that they would not go against his state. Everyone with a halfway decent education knows that shit.
Learn. *clap* History. *clap* You. *clap* Ignorant. *clap* Monkey.
>A slav unironically having sympathy for Hitler and Nazism
>Hortler wanted to liquidate the slavs
>Why
>Jew media told me
Alright. By all the accounts people in territories occupied by reich were treated much better than they were treated by their fellow (((soviets))), there only negative mentions of slavs by fuhrer are following:
>I don't want slavs running around germany trying to spread marxism (mein kampf)
>slav peasants are kinda dumb, just keep them fed and warm but don't try to propagandize them (table talks)
Muh untermench brainlets like to bring up is actually extremely sympathetic to slavic suffering under the jewish yoke.
Everything Hitler and his reich was occused of allies and bolsheviks were guilty of. The more you learn about it the more disgusting it is.
Who cares, I am Half-Jewish and I have no sympathy for Hitler anyways. Also, he lost the war lmao. Imagine supporting a fucking loser who pussied out by blowing his brains. I have more sympathy for fucking Hideki Tojo, at least he was there to see the trials.
You're damn right.
Based.
Only pervs watch "Rick and Morty"
People who watch rick and morty are not smart
>when the entire world has to team up and effectively collapse their economies to fund and create war supplies to defeat you by endless zergs
No, your average people are too stupid to distinguish between good and evil. For them everything they don't like is evil, and everything they like is good. Hitler is evil because people were conditioned to hate him.
Will Corona interrupt your monthly holoHOAX welfare check Moshe?
I'm extremely smart
subhuman monkey kike cope
>Jew
Well, should've stated there and saved me some time. Hitler was the last white person to stand against jewish global elite. He fought for his people against the entire world and came very close to winning multiple times. The filthy jew can't even aknowledge his genious, charisma and dedication.
Dios mio, whichever Jew fucked your monkey ancestor must have been desperate.
Whatever, you complaining on a Bhutanese Fishing Forum won't bring Hitler back lmao
Also, Hitler became a symbol of White guilt for all eternity, so there's that.
i thought the social meaning of evil came from consciously causing pain but is not turns out evil comes from not doing the majority of people in a group would consider the greater good, humans are retarded
>was hitler smart
starting a war with a country you were at peace(soviet) to try make peace with a country that you're at war and hates you(uk) is smart to you?
Smart people understand the consequences and implications of their actions. They extrapolate their decisions to larger principles.
Good smart people figure out that life and morality are fucking complicated and try to come up with a system, to carefully weigh their actions. Evil people try to take advantage of it.
Midwits, always self identifying as smart, see the complicated problem and give up on it, assuming it is too complicated and everything is fucked, descending into nihilism or virtue signalling. Midwits eventually come to see nihilism as a sign of intelligence, when really it's a sign of intellectual laziness.
>im so smart
>IM PICKLE RICK!
wow so deep
Hitler was a subhuman kike, evil people are usually stupid but they invest a lot in knowing the normie social game.
>whole world HAD TO team up
Russia alone had you on your knees the rest was just overkill
I read this in mortys voice
And despite avengers rip off episode implying evil is not a social construct, it is.
>omg you like rick and morty kys
I dont have a sister and I dont value the opinions of the hivemind. Reddit.
The person who finds this deep also watches Jon Oliver to get the "real news". The snarky in-group smartguy messaging is a marketing gimmick
Put a bullet into your reddit head.
rick & morty is a pederast cartoon
Rick and Morty makes more sense when you view Rick as the antagonist.
Most evil is caused by ignorance and stupidity.
Evil is self evident. Smart people can rationalize their way into being evil and be blind to their actions and consequences arising from such.
No, most evil is caused by jews, the synagogue of satan.
>way more bad
Guess who isn’t evil nor smart?
this episode felt very forced. i get rick is cynical though deep down cares for his family but wants to keep that facade of not caring because it breaks his intellectual image. Beth may not be as smart as rick but it doesn't excused her psychopathic rush when killing all those creatures and that man who she trapped in that world long ago. Beth is not smart, she's evil
The only 'smart' thing Rick says in the entire show is that he hates Israel. And that's only when he's blackout drunk.
>most evil people aren't solving difficult problems to do what they need to do
I agree. For the most part, today's wealthy people are exploiting a system that was designed to favor wealth. A large bank account today is the equivalent of muscle 1000 years ago. Nobody ever said physically stronger people were smarter for enslaving weaker people. But wealthy people can hire lawyers to get things done that are simply not possible for non-wealthy. They can manipulate markets to hold everyone else down while enriching themselves further on the backs of the middle class and the poor.
it's not that he hates it but i think he implied that he finds no logic into why investing money on another country
I figure it goes
>sub 80 iq
Leans to evil, these are the niggers who think they're baddass outlaws for stomping a 10 year old to steal his Jordans
>90-100 iq
Leans good, the necessary minimum iq for a functional society, honest people who cant articulate why it's better to be good but they know instinctively that it's in everyone's best interests to do so
>110-120
The midwits who are evil or apathetic, your college communists who still think the flying spaghetti monster argument is valid. They're smart enough to perform the necessary mental gymnastics to justify hedonism and destructive behavior but not smart enough to realize why their lives are disasters even though they're "smart." Theyll keep shifting the blame onto the next reason that's out of their control to avoid actually taking responsibility
>130 and above
Almost always good. Once you near the highly gifted or genius range you can articulate the existence of real good and evil in existence. You can identify the destructive behaviors of the midwits and the forces that are pushing them. You come to a coherent doctrine of faith in a higher power because you can see that every part of all existence is dependent on a baseline consciousness and you can feel that consciousness in all life. That is the truth and the truth is god. You will see the destructive or pointless behaviors of evil as at best wastes of time and at worst malicious crimes against all of creation.
anybody can be evil, smart people just do it really well
No, he fucking hates it. You can't be 'smart' and not hate Israel.
No being evil simply means you are going against what society deems as good and just, because of your own justification you believe you are right and good, evil is just another good person on the other side.
Being smart is worse, I don't mean smart in the sense that you know formulas and physics but smart in that you are aware there is no good there is no evil, there are just factions a grey blob of right and wrong only defined by the person or group that says it good or it's evil. To be aware that it's all bullshit. You are smart enough to see there is neither side but both. And the worst part is you know there is no lesser evil side it's all shit.
Welcome to the shit show user
Except Hitler didnt start a war with the soviets to make peace with the west, he attacked because the soviets were attacking surrounding countries and secretly amassing military technology, so Hitler was afraid that he would be next, and he was right.

since this is a rick and morty thread, here's a really pretentious answer:
high intelligence and the evolution of consciousness is largely predicated on learning how things work and then utilizing them to your advantage. In a primitive sense that means what plants are edible and what animals you can kill and with what. In an agrarian sense it means understanding how to domesticate livestock- how to control inferior consciousness.
And on a bigger more modern level, it means how to control or at least direct large amounts of human consciousness. That's the real skillset of people with power- the combination of gaining supporters through propaganda and personal self-interest of people that work for and do business with you, and the dissuading of competitors through propaganda, use of force, information warfare, etc. The highest levels of abstract intelligence and control are basically predatory in nature, like a hawk sees a bunny as a resource it can predict and utilize, people, social movements, emotional states, vices, hopes, fears- are used for the enrichment of large-scale institutions and individuals. And of course this will be perceived as evil in the same sense any prey would feel it's predators are. And this balance of power IS fucked up and dysfunctional long-term the way it is now- even if you view morality as artificial covering over a reality of "might makes right", any ecosystem is vulnerable to collapse if the relationship between predators and prey becomes too unbalanced.
But yeah, high intelligence basically gives a groundwork for higher-tier predatory behavior, if you had to classify humans as a species we are far more predatory than anything else. Because we don't just eat your meat, we grow you in controlled environments, take your labor, your skin, your bones, compounds produced by your body, etc. And isn't this utilization without concern the essence of evil underlying most practices people call evil?
Imagine thinking your poorly animated pedophile cartoon is worthy of this. This better be pasta.
whut is smart? whut is evil?
No, dan harmon, people don't hate you because you're smart, it's because you make videos about fucking babies and try to pass it off as a parody/satire.
Fuck off teddy spaghetti. You'te irrelevant and your ideas exist only to try and force others to accept rationalizations for your own insecurity.
Not an argument
>teddy spaghetti
I don't know where you picked this normalfag term up from, but you need to go back there.
nah, nothing to do with the cartoon really, I just think the way intelligence functions lends itself to predatory behaviors that tend to define what people consider evil
Hitler could never have won, it was virtually impossible. The Axis never had the production capacity to take on the Allies, let alone the Allies and the Comintern. He should have bided his time. Germany could have been a great power today if Hitler focused on anti-communist diplomacy and built up the necessary industry in Germany, instead of trying to use war as a shortcut to everything.
You sound like a jew who is rationalizing his own predatory behavior. Also you're under the delusion that you're intelligent.
To be fair it takes a high degree of intelligence to understand Dan Harmon's writing.
Beat me to it. This is the moment I couldn't ignore it anymore. Harmon is a faggot.
People who don’t watch rick and morty are not smart
Your dark lord is a grifter. He attaches to movements, desperately tries to turn a profit, and then talks shit about the people who started them to distance himself from their failure.
He's a coward who ran to another country and lives in his friend's house.
Intelligence is seen as something threatening for some unknown reason. I blame the media where the most popular portrayal of an intelligent person is one or multiple of the following:
>Secret Hitler room
>Psychopath
>Serial killer
>Evil Mastermind
Kinda helps push the anti-education narrative I guess.
Oh, you're just a retarded jew shitting their diaper over Hitler. Carry on.
I'm not justifying anything, you need to work on reading comprehension. You need to know how something works in order to manipulate it- con men are smarter than their marks
>Secret Hitler room
You don't have one?
Until the mark gets sick of being trampled on on a geopolitical scale, and then use their legally owned guns to shoot the grifters in Minecraft.
They only seem evil to the simple-minded.
I don’t care what anybody thinks, but I thought Unbelievable Tales was hilarious. Justin might be fucked up, but that’s my kind of humor.
