It’s amazing (and a bit scary) that a person can be so incompetent, but still can enter the highest level of the US federal government. In this case, we have Arne Duncan, the former Secretary of Education under President Barack Obama, who is clearly trying to make the most absolutely stupid remarks about the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing chaos in Afghanistan.
About COVID-19, vaccines, masks and Authorization It has been raging for the past year, and it is not without the necessary stupidity. But on Sunday, Duncan posted a tweet comparing the unvaccinated people with the jihadists who carried out the suicide bombing in Kabul last week, resulting in the well-known cake. He wrote:
Have you noticed how surprisingly similar the thinking and behaviors of two people are? Suicide bomber At Kabul Airport, there are anti-mask and anti-vaccine personnel here?
They all blew themselves up, causing harm to those around them, and firmly believed that they were fighting for freedom.
Have you noticed how surprisingly similar the mentality and actions between the suicide bombers at Kabul Airport and the anti-mask and anti-vax people here?

That’s right, guys.Only three days later 13 U.S. soldiers Cruelly killed by terrorists working with ISIS-K, Duncan thought it was wise to use their deaths to obtain cheap political points.
But the absurdity of Duncan’s comment is that radical Islamic terrorists did not commit atrocities because they sought freedom — they did so to establish a system of government against freedom. At this point, it is difficult to determine whether Duncan is stupid or whether he just thinks those who read his stupid tweets are stupid.
In addition, most people who reject vax do not do so because of “freedom.” Some people have legitimate concerns about the effects it may have on their health.Some have Problematic history With vaccines. Others are young and healthy enough, so COVID-19 is less risky to them. Despite this, others do not want to accept injections that have not been approved by the Federal Drug Administration.
As you might imagine, Duncan’s tweets were widely criticized on the platform. Here are some examples:

This is Obama’s Secretary of Education. See how uneducated he is, and can’t make even the most basic distinctions.This is the quality of the intellectual Visigoths in our country https://t.co/7PhQ8Pew0r

The most powerful case against the “mask injunction”! Religious fanaticism I have seen.
I would laugh at this clown, but I lived long enough to know how dangerous these people are. https://t.co/Nw52wEbTxI

One of your deepest understandings about participating in politics is that despite how smart and provocative they think they are, progressive thinking is very limited and repetitive. https://t.co/AhtgqjUo9a

This flush bag in Chicago just compares me to a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. In the Navy for 20 years, the communists in Chicago called me a terrorist. Fuck you Arne. Did your grandparents help form the Communist Party of America in Chicago in 1919? https://t.co/YNcY5xvaoL

In short, these people are not just running around trying to get COVID-19, so they can spread it to other people. They are people with legitimate concerns. But for people like Duncan, like the jihadists who killed American soldiers and Afghan civilians, disobedient people are evil bastards. This is the thinking of many ultra-leftists because they cannot think critically—and the idea of some of them in positions of power is disturbing.
