The dumbest American with a passport.

Of course there are far dumber Americans but they aren't the kind who travel to Europe.

Think I found it The prompt itself called him Kyle so not sure which response you had in mind.

This one is the top comment:

Death was the oldest. Since time immemorial, people have died and they have come to him. Mankind fights an endless war against him. Though they may have succeeded in stifling his actions, Death is patient. He knows that in the end, all things come to him.

Pestilence was Death's brother. He brought plague upon the lands. Staining the Earth black with disease and blight. His method of bringing people to his brother was slow and excruciating. However, mankind have begun to stave him off. Disease was beaten by technology and he increasingly faded into irrelevance.

Famine was as old as Death and pre-dated the birth of mankind. He worked with Pestilence to target the source of man's strength, his food and fuel. He destroyed crop and rotted grain. Starvation and a slow path to Death awaited those afflicted by him. However, man stood strong against him. They developed methods to create a surplus of food, too much for Famine to destroy. They developed methods to deflect his hand so that he may no longer afflict the source of man's strength. Thus, Famine, like Pestilence, faded into irrelevance.

War was the youngest. He was smart and cunning. He channeled man's strength against themselves. Conflict and strife became the grounds for which man displayed his strength. Efficient in work, he brought many to Death. However after his most brilliant work, where War embroiled the world twice over, mankind caught on to his cunning. Man made laws and grew to depend on each other. Though they may never fully quell War's influence, they made sure he would never afflict the world so spectacularly ever again.

Death was unhappy. Mankind had defeated his brothers and impeded his work. In his impatience and anger, he consulted his 5th brother, Kyle.

Kyle was a strange fellow amongst the brothers. He was quiet, lazy and seemed to care little for Death's work. He decided that his own birthname was too tedious to pronounce and opted for an easier name. Gaelic in origin, "Kyle" meant "narrow" a strange name for a Horseman to take on.

"Help me Kyle. My brothers are defeated. Mankind may one day defeat me as well. Please help out just this once." Kyle said nothing and merely nodded. He then disappeared off to perform his work.

As Death sat around his bedridden brothers, a miracle occured. Pestilence finger twitched and he his hands grew fleshy. Disease once again spread around the world. No longer as powerful as he once was, but alive once again.

Famine groaned and began to sit upright. Once again, crops wilted and people starved. Famine however, felt something amiss, some of his work was...voluntary. Mankind began to starve itself.

War rose from his bed with new found strength. The gears of conflict shook off their rust and began to turn once again. Innocents die in battle again, widows gained and fathers lost. Misguided soldiers die under authority's whims.

"You revived our brothers Kyle. How did you do it?" Asked Death, impressed with Kyle's work.

"I am Kyle, "narrow", the fourth of the Horsemen. Born with humanity but before War. My influence appeared when the first man decided that he did not need his tribe to survive. Narrow are the minds of humans.

Humans defeated disease with miracle cures. Now some fear that those cures are harmful to them. Let them face Pestilence's wrath.

Humans defeated Famine through piling resources and modifying crop. Now they hoard but never give. They let their breathren starve. Now they feel that excess of food is sin. They willing starve themselves of their source of strength to meet society's whims. Let them suffer by Famine's hand.

Humans defeated War through tolerance, diplomacy and restraint. Now they turn intolerant and unleash violence against those not of their own group. They justify their "Holy Wars" with the blood of innocents. Violence begets violence, vengeance for innocent blood spilled is carried out by the sword. Let them spiral down to oblivion, guided by War.

Narrow are the minds of humans. They do not think before they act. They believe what they want to believe and ignore what they don't.

I am Ignorance. Until mankind is capable of defeating me, they can never truly destroy the Horsemen."

Exactly where my mind went as well.

Bet he's thought about it.

RR transmitters can be passively triangulated. Following the wire requires someone physically following the line back.

There are a lot of counter options and I'm sure they've thought of many. I can think of a couple with a few minutes of thought and it's not my life on the line.

If the line can be reeled out it can be reeled in.

They could use a smaller drone to send the end randomly elsewhere.

They could have the drone itself detach from the source and reel it towards itself before detonating.

Somewhere in here is a perfect counter balance to right wing speak.

"A scientist who was about to publish a cancer curd has been arrest by border agents with Trump's authority. Trump received billions big pharm funding."

The trick with the right is it doesn't need to be entity true. It just need to tick ther correct set of emotions.

I've been deep diving into right wing propaganda for a decade and still not an incel. Still laughing at the fools and their weak beta energy.

Being able to speak their language is far more impactful. Not for the right wing tool spreading propaganda but rather for the lurker who has doubts.

White power movments are literally waiting for this moment. The outliers are the accelerationists but there far far more that have been preparing for generations to exploit the power vacuum.

A local anarchist group is no match for an well armed generation based organization.

Former Soviet nations is hardly an equivalent and none of those are hiding their involvement.

That's quite the understandment.

Non renewables have been subsidized for a century but now that renewables have become so cheap, the protection racket could no longer hold the technology back.

The last people to evaluate the company under the rules of fiduciary responsibility put the value at $10 billion.

Musk gets away with this because people believe his Ponzi schemes will make them rich. In a first world country he would be in prision for fraud.

They paid tribute.

What about Trump leads you to believe he has any loyalty?

What? Why would Trump give a shit?

If you refuse to tell us you're Hamas, we'll be forced to murder your family.

If you tell us your Hamas, we'll be obligated to murder your family.

Totally different scenarios.

Genociders gonna genocide.

Sounds like Ukraine would be within their right to do whatever it takes to prevent such an action regardless of how many toddlers are being used as a human shield.
