dunning-kruger effect
Libs love to cite it as if that makes them immune to it.
Didn't people eventually find out that Dunning-Kruger isn't real? The idea is that everyone overestimates their own abilities regardless of expertise.
"Alpha males" were disowned as a concept by the scientist that originally coined it when he realized that only tracked for emotionally damaged wolves in captive conditions basically like prison, but chuds still froth about how alpha they are.
This actually fits.
Yeah, I read about the issues of it here: https://economicsfromthetopdown.com/2022/04/08/the-dunning-kruger-effect-is-autocorrelation/
