A perfect expression

Stupidity is a frankly brilliant term, that has so many uses that you can safely rely on it for the many tribulations of life.

How does one use it? Well, it is a universal moniker for when one entity (be that person, company et cetera) does something that, relative to even their usual level of intelligence, is so undoubtedly thick and unintelligent, that it warrants this unique and special designation. Said usually in the form of "you're STOOOopid!!!", you can decide the exact tone and phrasing of this relatively simple insult in an amazing number of ways, which is what makes it so terrific. And no one person is exempt from this term either. When a wingnut or moonbat performs an act that is far below even their point of rationale, you need a word that can encompass this occasion. And Stupidity is just that word.

Stupidity can often manifest itself in the form of irony, not even wrong, hypocrisy, bullshit, deceit, and the extremes of reactionary philosophy.
