They aren't exactly stupid over there. Take /u/shitgenstein, for example. It's more like a forum for devout members of the faith that dares not name itself.
Yeah, it's not stupid, it's more like a self-inflicted lobotomy or something.
They have a community where there's a specific rule saying that it's not a debate community so when you see someone saying false stuff you can be banned if their stuff is not wrong, you know? I got a couple of accounts banned for that.
Unsurprisingly having such a rule results in a community full of people who believe in false things and reinforce each others' beliefs.
Why would anyone design a community based on such a principle? It rounds back again to: they are fucking stupid lol. Is it basic retardation or some advanced form of idiocy that affects high IQ people is kinda irrelevant.
Why do people believe false things ?
Maybe it's related to social desirability. Sneerclub beliefs are laudable in polite society, hanging around with like-minded people and inventing dunks on the chuds is something that might help.

It's basic. The whole place reeks of "medium fish in a small pond" syndrome. People who concluded they were brilliant because they could dunk on Uncle Jim on Facebook. Banning debate makes it easier to keep up the pretense and protect the ego.

Agreed, we're made from the same mold, they just picked a different team.
