No, I think Varrus is way way way stupider than Moe. Varrus is so monumentally stupid he belongs in a circus. A circus for intellectually challenged freaks, obviously. Plenty of those in Belgium. Booming business over there.
Moe isn't quite sure if he's an utilitarian realist or a resigned idealist. He's not stupid, just inconsistent. And he does troll quite a bit as well. Maybe Varrus does too, but even when he trolls, he still kinda believes it. I don't think Moe does.
I think he uses his trolling to cover for his stupidity, myself.
I don't know. I think it's possible to have a conversation with Moe. It's not with Varrus. Arguing with Varrus is pretty much like arguing with a 4 year old.
But having said that, I do think gbaji is a more articulate version of varrus. Intellectually, I'm not sure there's much between them. Gbaji is pretty much a brick wall, afflicted by adhd, and with access to nothing but a keyboard. Gbaji's 15k posts of counter-arguments could be summed up in one sentence "you've been brainwashed by the media". It's got mileage as an intellectual position, don't get me wrong, but maybe for not for 10 years straight.
Also, Varrus makes the effort of finding us nicknames, and I like that. It's the human touch. It shows he's not a random word generator created by the black shirts. There's definitely something of the old Italian fascist about Varrus. I think if he's ever thinking of quitting the insurance business, he should become of those guys dressed in Gladiator outfits who hang out by the Colisseum to have their pictures taken with the tourists, for a small fee.
