Anyone who continues to oppose them ends up being branded a literal fucking Nazi, and cast out of polite society.

no shit

deviate a little bit from the narrative and *bam*

If you want to look into the family connections of Chinese workers during an employment screening, to make sure they're not in any way connected to Chinese intelligence, you basically have to do that shit for ALL workers.

It also means you have to bar employment to anyone with links to British or German intelligence, even though England and Germany are not engaged in rampant IP theft and we're fucking military allies to those countries.

I've seen someone get *furious* with me when I expressed confusion over her accusation that Bernie Sanders *wasn't* a misogynst

same thing for racism topics

it's like a switch

The only exception is military contracting, but then you basically have to accept whatever the fucking feds have to say about it. If some Chinese dude looks super fishy, but the Feds say he's OK, you have to let him look at the blueprints for a $1.5 trillion dollar warplane, and don't you fucking dare treat him differently than American workers.

I can quote back arguments from 20 years ago that were fine for the old left, but now it's a trigger

no arguments back, just hate

A lot of it seems to me to be how the topic is being presented and what the listener is cued in on. If it's logic, but the listener is prepared for emotive communication shatters.

It's unhinged tribalism, and they're not just destroying themselves.

They're bringing down everyone else with them.

Or if it's emotive and the listener is primed for logic.. SSDD.

I started noticing that, yes, IQ has a noticiable difference in different countries

just noticing that made me think there was something wrong with what we are allowed to say

It's also probably because voters have never been that logical, at least for the vast majority of them. They're taught from a young age to be "in tune with their emotions," and that emotions are just as important, if not more so, than logic.

So logic ends up being subverted to emotion, and it corrupts their thinking.

I tried for *years* with the idea that anyone could learn anything

I had no idea how deep those ideas get

yes, I think you have something there

Eh, IQ isn't the right denominator, but if I grep the correct concept it's the same of what I speak. (IQ is more an indicator of the ability to manipulate and process data, rather than sensible interpretations.)

I actually think that IQ differences are a result of epigenetic factors (as in - environment) and education level (since it heavily depends on abstraction) ... the "race" as a factor is just a red herring

emotion is quite strong

@shrikeclaw - Interesting point about the realities surrounding IQ, is what would happen if a corporation took advantage of that knowledge. You could create an elite school for high IQ children, and basically train them to be your loyal goons. You'll end up with an army of geniuses that will do whatever the fuck you say, and at that point you just take over.

Erm..

evolution doesn't stop at the neck

they are using that

That's known as "higher education." @Arthur Grayborn

essentially

Universities

@shrikeclaw and genetics do not stop after birth

look at how the universities are talking about their students

Who possess documentation that claims superiority.

they just use them

not all fields are like other fields

@Laucivol - I'm talking about starting early, first grade.

Design your entire curriculum around maximizing the intellectual growth of high IQ children, who due to their situation will no longer be held back by the presence of less capable classmates. You can now move several times faster through the curriculum, and they'll be college ready by the time they hit sixth grade.

By the time they hit 12th grade, you'll have the equivalent of PhD educations in an army of kids you've been molding for the past 12 years, to think and say what the corporation wants them to.

some have been more rigorous and kept their heads down during this nazi fantasy time

At that point, you just take over the fucking country one economic sector at a time.

Replace corporation with government and we already have that system in place.

Not really.

Education for gifted children is hobbled by the "universalist" system we have now.

Some kids are ready to move through the curriculum 2-3 times faster, but slower kids set the pace for the entire class.
