Just look at different countries with concrete ethnic groups that make up their society...

all kinds of stereotypes about their behavior and the way they think... that's not all just because of, "Social construction"

Look at how basically every Latin American country prefers to instate communist goverments with lots of gibs at any opportunity even if it finds itelf with rapidly growing wealth...

It largely is, but compounded over the course of history, like geographic timescale history

and then look at the Latin American countries that don't slide in that direction... and maybe you'll notice something about hteir demographics...

oh no, not MUH JARED DIAMOND

Wasn't intending the connection. But yeah

cringe

Even if you want to go the egalitarian angle, I'd ask, what difference does it make?

You seem a bit libertarian...

Constitutionalist

They're usually willing to admit people aren't all the same in at least the economic sense, even if they want to say it's only because of "hard work"

Yeah, some people get dealt a shit starting hand

In either case, whether they were "made" by geographic time scale histroy... or it's just innate... then... what difference does it really make?

When that's how they are?

Shit is as shit does TBH

The difference is, I accept the possibility that anyone can change their mind

It doesn't matter if they can change you rmind

If 1 person changes their mind, but everyone from their group pushes generally in the same direction... as they are likely to do... it makes no difference

This is where the "muh indididualism" stuff gets spergy

Water on a stone

Water is the groups you say are filled with big brained individuals capable of any thought, and stone is society?

🤣

@Unironic Ohio Supremecist what is a tankie?

Commie

hmm

@A. Spader
Authoritarian left.

Stalinists, more or less.

Fond wants that?

It's denying all reality to pretend that every individual in a group just thinks for themselves

I never understand this lolberg mentality

thought he was on muh neolib stuff

if it's true why is virtually every Latin American country lean hard into a Socialist system

Why is every Asian country very similar in terms of their high value on honor, face, and conforming to norms of society... the nail standing up gets hammered down

why do like 80% of blacks vote democrate even though when asked bluntly issue by issue many of them supposedly should be voting Republican?

because the dems give them a measure of political power

at least on the last q

Yeah, they've got so much power voting the same way for decades

they've gotten everything they could want 🤣

Possibly a bad analogy when scaled beyond two groups interacting. Maybe more like a pile of radioactive dust, each speck an individual and every particle an opinion, over time the interactions between the particles bouncing around will change what the dust is, change how it interacts with surroundings and the individual specks will change at different rates and different ways.

By the time your analogy would happen in the real world all the particles will have given off so much radiation there's nothing left alive in their vicinity
