I think collectivism is a lot like religion. It's literally impossible to fully support it.

Best you can do is pick one of the infinite sects and support that, and reject all the rest.

Individualists just go one sect further.

2018-06-05 00:56:39 UTC  

Well, Fascism lost, Communism lost, Islam is just another in a line of retards

2018-06-05 00:57:38 UTC  

Of course, using bullwhips amazing logic, we should imitate the people being retards to own the retards

I've been thinking lately about the SJW-ifying of movies and games and TV shows and such.

2018-06-05 01:15:53 UTC  

I think I'm going to stop accusing creators of doing that unless they admit it.

2018-06-05 01:16:52 UTC  

Like Ghostbusters is still on the table for criticism because they're proud of it, but if I just pick up something like Gone Home and they're not saying the reason why they chose a lesbian romance is in order to promote social justice, then I'm just going to assume the best of their motives until proven otherwise.

2018-06-05 01:18:32 UTC  

And honestly even if they do admit to having a SJW bias the art could still be good, like Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

2018-06-05 01:19:37 UTC  

I think it's really sad that I'm forced to wonder, every time I pick up a piece of art, 'Is this SJW propaganda designed to manipulate me?'... I don't want to wonder that! I just want to enjoy it.

2018-06-05 01:19:49 UTC  

But I think I'm going to start erring on the side of enjoying things for what they are.

2018-06-05 01:21:17 UTC  

The thing I am *much more* concerned about are the things that they're *removing.* Like if you want to make a story about a black person struggling with the fact that he's in the inner city and everyone is a thug who's on welfare... you wouldn't be allowed. That just wouldn't see the light of day.

2018-06-05 01:21:43 UTC  

Feminizing the Ghostbusters is nothing compared to the crime of suppressing some raw and interesting story.

2018-06-05 01:46:44 UTC  

Because of the values you listed, you described cultural stereotypes, that are easily subject to change. @Cream Man

2018-06-05 01:47:08 UTC  

@Cream Man well I have, and do.

2018-06-05 01:47:12 UTC  

You say that, but they have persevered for hundreds of years

2018-06-05 01:47:42 UTC  

Only to all but disappear

2018-06-05 01:48:04 UTC  

Perhaps that is evidence of a genetic link to culture

2018-06-05 01:48:08 UTC  

I mean, shit i'll do what i can to fight it, but if it's fucked it's fucked.

2018-06-05 01:48:28 UTC  

genetics is not linked to culture.

2018-06-05 01:48:57 UTC  

Well we are speaking right now, about a culture of hundreds of years being wiped away

2018-06-05 01:49:02 UTC  

And what is the variable

2018-06-05 01:50:16 UTC  

The destruction of the ethnic homogeneity of Europe is atleast something worth considering, we see what happened in Yugoslavia

2018-06-05 01:50:29 UTC  

Whether that is

2018-06-05 01:50:42 UTC  

As a result of the refusal to integrate within ethnic communities

2018-06-05 01:50:45 UTC  

Or actual genetics

2018-06-05 01:50:47 UTC  

Ethnicity means nothing, cultural compatibility is everything.

2018-06-05 01:50:50 UTC  

Both are interesting

2018-06-05 01:51:21 UTC  

Why do you think ethnicity means nothing?

2018-06-05 01:51:29 UTC  

Out of curiosity

2018-06-05 01:51:43 UTC  

Because identity with the culture plays a far more important role.

2018-06-05 01:52:40 UTC  

Considering intelligence is linked to genetics, why would it be hard to believe that some other social and psychological traits might be the same way

2018-06-05 01:53:06 UTC  

Which might evolve over time into distinct cultures

2018-06-05 01:53:06 UTC  

....

2018-06-05 01:53:19 UTC  

Today in “Giant Leaps of Logic”

2018-06-05 01:53:30 UTC  

Is that a giant leap

2018-06-05 01:53:45 UTC  

It's a fucking giant oversimplification of genetics for a start.

2018-06-05 01:53:46 UTC  

It really is

2018-06-05 01:55:39 UTC  

Outside of outright genetic conditions, intelligence has an insane degree of variables that effect it, nevermind that intelligence is somewhat subjective.

2018-06-05 01:57:11 UTC  

A country with a high degree of agricultural resources will always have a higher base IQ than one with greater industrial resources for instance. look at north and south korea for instance.

2018-06-05 01:57:35 UTC  

Actually, now that you mention it, thats a really good example

2018-06-05 01:57:58 UTC  

I think you are assuming correlation is causation here

2018-06-05 01:58:28 UTC  

I'm really not. If you can't eat, your brain won't be working at peak performance.
