..thought they died out when eventually, nobody ... remembered how to boil water.

the mindlessly conspicuous Waste of their group-derived emulation of a School for Scoundrels™--He who is not One-Up is One-Down--seems a separate matter (and surely more despicable than), say
my noting, a few days ago that the nutritious grade food cost for a new client (abandoned cat hanging out in the biz-garden of a local DDS, clearly too civilized ever to have been 'feral')
... is, here in $USD quite more than many on this planet can afford for selves.

Maybe it's moi, but: feeling even mildly simpatico with any group abjectly flaunting its mondo-vacuity ... would be akin to also voting for a Drumpff (because of his kewl hair-do?)

Judgmentally--just like Cthulhu.
