You've seen it many times.  You're at a party or some other sort of gathering, and there's one guy who has his political beliefs stapled to his face.  He finds some way of interjecting his beliefs into every conversation, no matter how unrelated the conversation might be to those beliefs.  He does this to show that he is far more clever than all the sheeple he has to share a planet with.  When this behavior begins, the herd spooks and moves to one wall or fence or another...But the smart guy relentlessly pursues, babbling his TRUTH to the poor, ignorant fools that he feels obligated to enlighten. 

Then he wonders why nobody seems to have parties anymore.  It never occurs to him that they do, they just don't invite him.  If he knew that, he'd be more puzzled than hurt...After all, wasn't he witty and charming?  AND educational?  Then he'd just decide that they were all sheeple after all, and find some other crowd to whom he can spread the TRUTH.

WAIT.  I did that wrong.  Let's try again.

You've seen it many times.  You're at a party or some other sort of gathering, and there's one guy who has his atheism stapled to his face.  He finds some way of interjecting his atheism into every conversation, no matter how unrelated the conversation might be to said atheism.  He does this to show that he is far more clever than all the sheeple he has to share a planet with.  When this behavior begins, the herd spooks and moves to one wall or fence or another...But the smart guy relentlessly pursues, babbling his TRUTH to the poor, ignorant fools that he feels obligated to enlighten.

Haw haw!  Just kidding.  Those two things aren't the same at all.  No, really.

Had to put a couple of people on my real-life version of an "Ignore" list for that crap.

Yep.  And it's not even the belief.  I know and get along with plenty of atheists, conservatives, born agains, etc.  It's the act of BRANDING yourself with the belief in question and then MAKING SURE EVERYONE SEES HOW SMART YOU ARE on account of it that grates on the nerves.  And bores the turds out of everyone at a party.

Because it's not the belief at all, in that case, is it?  No.  It's LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Precisely.

You can have the same exact narrative for damn near anything.  The most excruciating are the low-functioning gamer geeks, IMO.

So here's something interesting. My experience of these individuals is that they are, for the most part, highly susceptible to conspiracy theory. Sometimes the cospiracy-theorist is an incarnation of Smartest guy in the room but often it's just a side effect or some shit. Set yourself a goal of making the smart guy believe the hokiest bullshit that you can imagine.  Add a point for each of the "sheeple" SGitR infects with your bizarre tale. It's a game that's even more fun played with friends, thereby elevating your own status beyond that of the smartest guy(s) in the room, to the even smarter than smartest.

My brother and I had to black list our cousin because of this. One's a hardcore witnessing hippie, and one's a fucktard who thinks he lives in the ghetto while being surrounded in a middle class neighborhood. Both are conspiracy theorists, and quote Jesse Ventura alot. Just driving by the street the live on pisses me off to no end. They were banned from our parties for turning everything into "you didn't know that?" dick measuring contest.

I hope you guys have a harder resolve than we do.

I have a good friend that turned into an Alex Jones freak.  I still like the guy, but I can only tolerate him in small doses, now.

He compared my wife to his. Why didn't you marry one like mine? She has beauty and brains? His wife is a teenage dropout burnout who tunes into David Icke. He completely disregarded I like big women, and that I FUCKING LOVE HER.

When they actually smoke pot together the son of a bitch complains about the weed.....

Why I haven't put my foot in his ass is beyond me.

I want to like the guy Roger since he has a daughter I don't want to see him lose her to him dealing. But he wants that ghetto fabulous life.

I hate people like that. I hate them so much that I tune them right the fuck out.
