But he's saying it doesn't have to be an explicit factor to have the desired effect

And chances of success are way higher because it's more palatable to the general population

Right, that's the idea

I think he's correct in the sense that it's more socially acceptable to initially bring it up, but I feel like you'd get a weird look from most people if you told them that you wanna have this state that gives people psychological examinations to get into. And then there's the issue that political ideologies change every decade or so, so you'd have to keep redrawing this filter state if you actually want it to keep working.

Political ideologies change every decade or so?

Sure, you can look at public opinion for various issues which had very drastic changes in fairly short spans of time. It's a bit less noticeable in the US since there's only two political parties, though, in countries with a parliamentary system, it's not unusual that a party will have a super majority in parliament one election and be reduced to irrelevance two elections later.

Unless, of course, he's just using this as a cover for an ethnostate, in which case that criticism doesn't really apply. However, that brings up a new problem, which is that most of the general public is going to be smart enough to see past his cover.

I’m drinking a dark coffee roast black this morning

I’m also having donuts for breakfast so I figured that would be the best move

Oh God. I can't do that.

Do any of y’all drink your coffee black normally?

Looking at donuts on an empty stomach makes me feel sick

It’s a Sumatra blend too

I usually can’t

I’m definitely a savory foods kind of guy

I personally don't drink coffee

I do, with some stevia added in

I usually have my oats with stevia or brown sugar

Another day, another morning where I spend my time wondering if techno-optimists are human

(Spoiler: they aren't)

I’m going to a military surplus store to get some more MRE’s to eat in my mess kit

My friend is picking me up soon

I hear mre taste terrible

I was gonna go to school but it got canceled for the second day in a row

@Virgil I've had Polish MREs and they were pretty good

Yo, stevia isn't the best for fertility

Wait why are you eating MREs?

Because they’re fun

oh

fair enough

It's a fend for yourself type if world

@Jacob I think the mistake you're making is thinking that you would let people in who have no strong political preferences, but will flip flop to the party that is the most relevant at the time. The point of the psych analysis is to filter out people who just repeat talking points, and to bring in people who have a strong genetic tendency for hyper Nationalist thought

Tfw cute HAPA girl from work and I have been sending memes back and forth for a few days

No, I’m not going to date her

@DixieBoy76 - KY OMG WTF

Shill!!!!!!!

No jk haha

What exactly is a shill?

@DixieBoy76 - KY there was a cool hapa girl I met at school and she was into Steven crowder and thought male feminists were disgusting and I was like hell yeah. We can be buds haha

@John O - That's actually a pretty interesting argument. I'm not sure how practical that would be. You would essentially be restricting yourself to only letting in people who are hyper political. For guys like us who are deeply involved in this it's often easy to forget just how little the average person cares about politics. Even when it comes to us, I imagine most people here don't actually care that much about most issues.
