But wearing a red cap is racist! Making things great is racist! America is racist! Now gimme muh handouts

We have a more accurate worldview and therefore are less surprised more often

@Perihelion - CA "Smirking While White" will be a hate crime whenever the left takes over again. <:pepe:359012488920039424>

Facecrime

Do you ever see someone with a really badly trained dog who bullies them for food? Whose fault is that really?

Again, I’m very certain there are a lot of people on the left who are more concerned with appearing intelligent and moral than being intelligent and moral. Look to the generic argument ender from that side- “wow educate yourself.” Plenty of these people have never read anything beyond and Huffpo oped but they’ll still tell you to go stick your nose in a book because they’re certain the proof is in there, they just can’t be bothered to look.

@NiceGuy They do that a lot. I recently watched a video on NBC where a white woman was blocking a black guy from getting into his apartment complex unless he tells her his apartment number. This sounds really bad on it's face, but, if you actually think about it, she probably didn't recognize the dude, so asking his apartment number to make sure he actually lives there was a pretty reasonable question.

according to stats, the left *is* "more educated" than the right iirc

These people read too much into everything

but we all know college =/= smart at this point

At the height of the Catholic Church before the Reformation many priests had never read the Bible. The educate yourself quip is a sign of the same sort of religious Dogma

@Asatru Artist - MD likely propaganda bud. More indoctrination is what they probably meant.

With the collapse of identity, people have fallen into weird political existentialism to give their lives meaning. Politics isn’t real opinion for a lot of people, politics is an identifier.

@Asatru Artist - MD I think it's true that liberals have a higher average IQ than conservatives, but it's not as damaging as it sounds. Higher IQ people are more likely to go to college, and liberals are more likely to pursue jobs in education. So, logically, it makes sense that high IQ people will tend to end up liberal.

That's actually not true. The higher IQ myth comes from studies that only survey college students. In the general populace conservatives have a higher IQ

I would honestly be surprised if higher IQ people *weren't* more likely to be liberal at a time when liberals dominate the institutions

i was just saying "more educated" meaning more went to/graduated college. That's why I said they aren't necessarily "smarter", because college is quite the joke these days.

plus if everyone has a college degree, no one really does.

We’ll see more smart people skip college soon

For every grad student out there you've got 10 Inner City people dragging down the average

The smartest drop out

Of college

@Jacob Oh yeah those videos that go viral of *racist, evil* whitey being mean to blacks whether it'd be at the pool or at their apartment. I've grown accustomed to always question anything I don't have 100% of the facts. Sad we can't trust the media, but that is reality

During communism, the people who brought down the regimes weren't exactly the highest IQ people. They were random shipyard workers. That doesn't make communism good. It's pretty normal that high IQ people conform to whatever thought system dominates the institutions at the time.

the dude that started Virgin Mobile was a high school drop out of iirc

and he's a billionaire now...

He's also a liberal

@Asatru Artist - MD that simple concept is why Bernie is sooo wrong on the "free college" thing

At the high end of wealth liberalism becomes a political expedient and a way to Shield yourself from backlash

@Perihelion - CA I'm just saying, you don't need college to be successful, as most of us here know already.

@NiceGuy The fact that these videos go viral is actually proof of black privilege. Even if a white person genuinely did call the police on a black person for a bogus reason, what this shows is that if a white person mildly inconveniences a black person, it becomes national news. Meanwhile, there was a story where a black woman set a white baby on fire and it barely made local news.

take the survey everyone

We can actually use these stories to our advantage by pointing that out

@Jordan - MD The whole "free college" thing is just to get a ton of other do-nothings to vote for him. Plus, he doesn't care about money because he has been a govt parasite for decades. "Money" literally grows on trees to him.

Oh wow yeah I never realized that

There are definitely smart people who drop out of college because they find their talents wasted. There are also plenty of dropouts who couldn’t handle it who shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

@Jacob Very true

@Jacob very astute tbh
