And I think it is working. Politics is upstream from culture, if they can get young people to think this crap is cool then they win. When I was in high school we would make fun of climate activists and emo looking kids, now they want activists and pink hair to be cool.
We are not target audience, they made it clear in 2014.

You're right about the IQ thing in one context "Midwit deluded he's a genius and resents his lack of 99th percentile success, so blames everyone else" is peak online vocal social justice activist. The low IQ ones just quietly nod along with the midwits and mask up to burn down the buildings they're told to, when they're told to.
For example, a low IQ individual might not think to try and conflate enslavement and conformism, but a high IQ individual might think that's obviously fucking retarded.
