    Best case scenario for these sorts is they get hired as security for their rich masters and manage to successfully appeal to the NAP for why they shouldn't have to wear the explosive collars that Musk and the Reddit CEOs want them to wear.


  • My comment isn't advice so much as maybe reassurance: I was raised by my parents to be some sort of weird libertarian racist guy, and by the public school system to be a liberal douche. My entire life was steering me towards capitalist ideologies, and compared with all that, it took so little to move me towards communism.

    The main thing now seems to be keeping kids (particularly boys) from getting sucked into right-wing bullshit that responds to the world getting worse by telling people it's dog-eat-dog and encouraging social-darwinist attitudes.

    I looked up this guy's twitter profile and his bio is literally just "I study IQ, dark-skinned people have low IQ, White Europeans (TM) have high IQ."

    Is there anything more vacuous than a person who attributes everything to "smart number too low?"

    But for those folks: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22222219/

    Abstract

    Despite their important implications for interpersonal behaviors and relations, cognitive abilities have been largely ignored as explanations of prejudice. We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice, an effect mediated through the endorsement of right-wing ideologies (social conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism) and low levels of contact with out-groups. In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets (N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology. A secondary analysis of a U.S. data set confirmed a predictive effect of poor abstract-reasoning skills on antihomosexual prejudice, a relation partially mediated by both authoritarianism and low levels of intergroup contact. All analyses controlled for education and socioeconomic status. Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in prejudice. Consequently, we recommend a heightened focus on cognitive ability in research on prejudice and a better integration of cognitive ability into prejudice models.









  • What I'm getting from this is that Luigi should have started his own insurance company exclusively for insurance CEOs and then denied them all coverage when they needed it to kill them the legal way.

    Also Zoe Strimpel is one of the OpEd shitheels I recognize from smearing Jeremy Corbyn as an antisemite, and defending israel (by calling people antisemites mostly).

    "Capitalism is a system where people go without shelter and medicine they need because they are too poor to afford it, but where people whose only contribution to society is twitter posts can afford to waste $1500 to own internet communists with a youtube video.

    You are expected to endorse this system." chairman
