Could someone please sit down the slower students in the class and explain to them that ‘hackers’ who seek to alter a device’s software for the purpose of giving it more functionality are not the same as ‘hackers’ who try to find illicit ways to compromise your data for personal gain.

You see, when the wingnut feels threatened, it excretes a foul substance which forms a protective layer of disingenuous stupidity designed to deflect dissonant facts and beliefs which could damage the wingnut’s tender underbelly of pure stupid. In order to harden this protective layer into an impervious carapace of ignorance, the wingnut needs to come to believe this tactically-held nonsense - needs to incorporate this protective layer into its body of stupid beliefs by making itself believe them for real. But then, of course, if this carapace is threatened, it too will have to be protected by a layer of disingenuous stupidity, and so on and so on until you start writing books called Liberal Fascism. - Oh, he’s good « Liberal Fascism
