It isn't how stupid, ignorant or uneducated people in government are, those are all foibles I can accept as part of people being human, it is the violent response to the very concept of a spontaneous joyful curiosity to learn and know new things while letting them be, that I cannot.
Term? Are you serious? It is a metaphor, honestly the fact that you can't tell the difference between similes and analogs makes me really concerned about your ability to make your broader point even though this conversation I am roping you into has nothing to do with this unnecessarily specific and overly involved tangent that doesn't actually challenge the fundamental basis of your argument....
