Italian stupidity, quotes, aphorisms, ideas and thoughts about the famous and bizarre Italian nation and the foolishness of its funny easy-going people.
Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.
Oscar Wilde
Unfortunately our planet is more and more full of increasingly empty men, to paraphrase Eliot, shapeless figures, colorless shadows, not souls, lost and violent, but only, empty men, stuffed men, created by the taxidermists of stupidity.
Carl William Brown
Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsability at the other.
Ronald Reagan
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended.

A great number of people talk too much, but pragmatically act too little, and if they try, they can only do stupid and dangerous things. Any reference to Italian politicians are quite imaginary and clearly unreal.

Stupidity is the world engine. Politicians, marketers, religious people, show business personalities, everyone, more or less, is living on human stupidity.
Luciano De Crescenzo
Silvio Berlusconi had continued to make the Italian state to pay for his debts and to support his businesses expansion. The pinnacle of the stupidity was that Berlusconi had the approval from Italian people.

Laws of Stupidity
The economic historian Carlo Maria Cipolla is famous for his essays about human stupidity. The essay, The Fundamental Laws of Human Stupidity, explores the controversial subject of stupidity. Stupid people are seen as a group, more powerful by far than major organizations such as the Mafia and the industrial complex, which without regulations, leaders or manifesto nonetheless manages to operate to great effect and with incredible coordination. These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity:
1) Always and inevitably each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2) The probability that a given person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic possessed by that person.
3) A person is stupid if they cause damage to another person or group of people without experiencing personal gain, or even worse causing damage to themselves in the process.
4) Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people; they constantly forget that at any time anywhere, and in any circumstance, dealing with or associating themselves with stupid individuals invariably constitutes a costly error.
5) A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person there is.
If you think of the success of the majority of the so called italian artists, you can easily understand the profound state of decadence and corruption of the stupid nation itself.

Italy, always first in the world for Coronavirus deaths. At least we are first in some contest, but it’s obvious, when there is a sad, strong, stupid competition we give the best of ourselves.

Many would love to avoid paying tax but only the rich manage to do so. The poor realise, therefore, that they have to pay taxes even for them.

Politicians of the Left say that those of the Right are dangerous for our country, those of the Right in turn say the same thing about their colleagues of the Left. I would simply put forward the idea that perhaps both are dangerous.
