useful idiot

Mis-attributed to Vladamir Lenin by Conservatives, (who usually learn of the term on social networks), it's used to degrade Progressive Liberals, who don't judge others from different countries, politics, or religions, as harshly as they do.

Conservatives often use the term to anyone who takes a different stance, whether the "useful idiot" is supportive of, or non-discriminatory toward: Socialists, Democratic Socialists, Democrats, Communists, Atheists, Catholics,, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Masons, Blacks, Hispanics, Indians, Arabs, Native Americans, and Europeans.

Thus, "useful idiots" are usually ignored, while they're blamed for "ruining" (ie. improving) a nation, and spreading love of others, rejecting discrimination, and equality treatment for all.

Conservative: "These are the facts that I've cherry-picked to support my argument."

Useful idiot: "But you ignored this, this, this, this, this, and this."

Conservative: "But you're taking that out of context! No wait, that's revisionist history! You just hate my version of God! You're actually going to listen to Scientists who know what they're talking about? How stupid are you? You should read my new book, that ignores all the positive contributions made by others, and ignores all the bad things about Conservatism, where I redefine words, revise history to my liking, and argues why Jesus was actually a Capitalist. I don't accept peer-review, by the way, because I'm right and always right on everything."

Useful idiot: "Your book sounds a lot like Conservapedia."

Useful idiot

Often mistakenly attributed to Lenin, Stalin or Marx, the term was first used by US newspapers in 1948 and has little documented usage within the Soviet Union, meaning a third party who spreads propaganda or disinformation, usually unintentionally or without fully understanding the cause they're proselytizing for. Originally used during the cold war to refer to Western communist sympathisers, or those susceptible to communist propaganda, the term could be used today to refer to those spreading anti-vaccine misinformation echoed or amplified by Russian intelligence, or ,or Trump supporters acting on foreign-spread conspiracy theories about pizzas and child molesters. In any case, the person spreading the disinformation uses someone susceptable to the disinformation in order to spread it further

This useful idiot read online that Hilary Clinton is selling kids through this pizza place and now he's going down there to shoot it up.

Useful information

Where information is being gather and disseminated about me. That's it. There is nothing else.

Hym "No. None of that is useful at all. Not even a little. Useful information would be where the information is being gathered. Nothing else is even semi-useful. I would even go as far as to say that it's USELESS."
