I've been wondering about this one thing for like a week or so

2018-08-23 21:24:00 UTC  

What makes dictatorship any different from other kinds of authoritarianism like say absolute monarchy?

2018-08-23 21:25:04 UTC  

(besides the obvious part of monarchy being passed by inheritance and stuff like that)

2018-08-23 21:26:46 UTC  

Literally only the monarchist part

2018-08-23 21:26:51 UTC  

absolute monarchy = dictator monarch

2018-08-23 21:27:03 UTC  

ok

2018-08-24 05:44:06 UTC  

oof

2018-08-24 20:14:51 UTC  

@iwantfun I said they’re on the wrong for seizure, I just the whole targeting whites thing that’s been used as clickbait by the media is misinformation and is merely a stunt of a supremacy group

2018-08-24 20:23:10 UTC  

Who other than whites are they taking from lol

2018-08-25 04:35:54 UTC  

Literally the supposed "list of white farms being targeted" released by the supremacy group that all the news articles have been treating like its real had black owned farms on it.

2018-08-25 04:36:44 UTC  

theyve only actually seized land from one farm so far and thats because they wre too poor to buy the land from them

2018-08-25 23:01:08 UTC  

The dollar should be disposed of and replaced with grams

2018-08-25 23:01:13 UTC  

By grams

2018-08-25 23:01:23 UTC  

I mean the gold standard

2018-08-26 19:28:30 UTC  

So, what do I say to someone who says there is no real scientific way to define human "races"?

2018-08-26 19:29:05 UTC  

I mean, there ARE differences between groups of people

2018-08-26 19:29:36 UTC  

but is the problem steming from the vague definition of "race"?

2018-08-26 19:29:57 UTC  

or is there really a concrete way I can say someone is a different race from me?

2018-08-26 20:09:18 UTC  

No, there is no way to scientifically decide how many race there are and to which one someone belongs.

2018-08-26 20:24:30 UTC  

There's also no real need to define people based upon "race"

2018-08-26 20:24:47 UTC  

Considering that the differences are rather minute...

2018-08-26 22:00:46 UTC  

I agree

2018-08-26 22:15:29 UTC  

It is scientifically the same level as assigning subspecies to animals.

2018-08-26 22:15:46 UTC  

Don't understand this "there's no way to define it" argument.

2018-08-26 22:16:02 UTC  

We can and do subdivide species in this way.

2018-08-26 23:19:53 UTC  

@Alice Redacted Nearly all scientists worldwide agree on the validity of race, and there are not just "minute" differences.

2018-08-26 23:20:41 UTC  

Are there hour differences?

2018-08-26 23:20:49 UTC  

😎

2018-08-26 23:30:33 UTC  

show me proof of consensus

2018-08-26 23:34:39 UTC  

it starts by stating that many scholars think that race is not biological

2018-08-26 23:34:54 UTC  

but i'll keep reading

2018-08-26 23:37:04 UTC  

My aim in this paper was not to prove the biological reality of race

2018-08-26 23:37:05 UTC  

also

2018-08-26 23:37:09 UTC  

that's a quote

2018-08-27 00:41:27 UTC  

We know that certain diseases are more common in certain races, and when placed in the same environment (in this case, the same country), we can see height, size, and even socio-economic differences between the races that are reflected similarly in other countries (ex. U.S. Hispanics to Mestizos in Mexico).

Furthermore, we can also associate certain genes and their frequencies with certain races.

Knowing all of these things, and knowing that they are indisputable facts, it is unlikely that race is simply a social construct, and what is more likely, however, is that the push to downplay it as such is rooted in political and ideological motivations @21tagtmeiern

2018-08-27 00:42:07 UTC  

It's similar to the Soviets refusing to accept evolution because it did not conform to communism's traditional belief set

2018-08-27 02:40:19 UTC  

Oh my, Irma is a taxonomist now too

2018-08-27 02:40:30 UTC  

Is there anything she wont LARP as?
