The by-product of that (some would say passive aggressive) mindset is invariably an all-consuming sense of humour and need to laugh sometimes it manifests as poking fun at others (how implicit or explicit the mockery is usually depends upon the personality of the individual and how often their flaws have been mocked and/or dissected by others) and sometimes it’s only a matter of chronicling it as satire – but either way it’s an irresistible urge that seeks to level the playing field by comforting the disturbed and disturbing the comfortable. Those genuinely bright individuals are the ones that are able to look at what they know to be true versus the practices indulged so regularly that they’re considered to be “right” by the population at large, see the inherent comic value in the disparity between the two viewpoints and celebrate them rather than attempt to reconcile with them or try to bend others to their will and opinion.
