Does leftism draw stupid people to it, or does leftism take normal people and turn them stupid? If the former, is leftism stupid because it’s supported by already stupid people, and then the stupidity is reinforced as it stupidizes formerly normal people?
This really has my noggin joggin.
Do leftist think JFK is still alive?
Bingo.

Couldn’t tell you. Is that a dinner table issue for them?
Anybody who thinks Trump is just fine wouldn't be able to tell the athletes from the officials at the special olympics without a program guide.
Interesting defense of leftism
>tds, en garde!
You mean Jeffrey Frank Kent? Yeah, he lives just down the street from me. Why?
>Rightoid projecting this hard
Why was Engels Marx’s paypiggy though
I've seen both sides. The far left and far right are both retarded but in different ways. People with the best critical thinking skills are near the center, but most intelligent are left of center because they just value education more than right of center.
Kek
Not even close
The left and far left is openly and obviously destroying this country, anyone who supports them is ignorant
So you can be “smart” and support them, but you’re still ignorant, and ignorance is a type of stupidity.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but my perception of your stance is that the glut of educational attainment exists to the left of center, and from that vertex, critical thinking skills improve as you move right?
Sure let's do this.
What metric do you want to use to compare stupid? AOC vs Greene or Boebert?
How about Pelosi vs Mitch McConnell
How about average protesters for BLM vs QANON?
I'm sorry to say in any of those arguments the left takes the intelligence argument. The closest being Mitch. While a scumbag his IQ isn't single digits.
How about we look at the average education level of the voters of the party. Or how more educated people skew left.
I'm sorry dude but at the end of the day. The right just isn't as smart.
How do you define intelligent, though? Is educational attainment as a generalized concept a significant predictor of intelligence? Are there any agreed upon metrics by which to say “this major generally draws more raw intelligence than this other major”?
If that’s not the case, are psychiatrists asking for proof of voter registration on pre-IQ test intake packets?
Interesting, they kept telling me that BLM isn’t a political organization, let alone a leftist one; that it was just a simple mantra.
Uh oh
>bout we look at the average education level of the voters of the party. Or how more educated people skew left.
>I'm sorry dude but at the end of the day. The right just isn't as smart.
You are extrapolating data that isn't in the statement. It's not that critical thinking skills take you right its that they keep you center.
Oopsies
BLM is absolutely a political movement today. It wasn't when it started but equal rights shouldn't have ever needed to be a partisan issue. Also nice deflection.
ideologies are for stupid people that cant think for themselves, no matter left or right, so its both, made by stupid people and drawing stupid people in
Yep, I screwed that one up.
It turns smart people stupid. People who are prone to universalizing are vulnerable to it. That's why conspiratorial thinking is so common on the left (rich people, white people, men, republicans, "the right".) Basically the basic foundation of leftist thought is that there is a group of people who are preventing our society from being perfect. How do you identify these people? It is anyone who opposes our ideology.
>Does leftism draw stupid people to it, or does leftism take normal people and turn them stupid?
It's both. Honestly, you have to be kind of stupid to be on the far edge of either side. Anyone who approaches societal and political issues with a truly open mind and bothers to think usually ends up somewhere near the middle.
So leftism is the search for a state utopia in which all undesirables are considered enemies of progress?
>is so common on the left
>all of academia and the media are conspired against the truth of my conservative worldview
Are you seriously trying to say that the left's issues with white men in power for decades trying to keep anyone that doesn't look them from getting power has anything on the right's multitude of conspiracy theories? the steal, the emails, jfk, Pizzagate?
Trump supporter here. Dissertation defense within the next year, not applying for any postdoc and, based on departmental conversations, will likely end up shuffled back in as an associate professor.
Intend to give lower grades to left-leaning students who do not conform to my worldview.
Problem?
Generally speaking.
The left has more collage educated people then the right.
Also, studies have shown that the general IQ of registered democrats is higher.
Now "smart" is a nebulous term.
So it depends on how you judge it.
This
The left is arguing to try and make things better and the right is arguing the left are bad people. I have never heard the left say let's hang Mike Pence, but you sure as shit heard that the moment he decided to have half a spine.
I honestly doubt you are any of these things.
More then likely you are a kid that just graduated high school going INTO collage.
Good larp however.
I've met plenty of retarded teachers in college.
Do you need me to explain the terms I used
Yeah, that's kind of shitty but it's more or less in line with what I would expect of a Trump supporter.
>retarded
>teachers
>college
Finish high school, son
Yes, that's why they use such vague groups as the enemy. Allows them to believe there is always an enemy.
First off, I never said that there wasn't any conspiratorial thinking on the right. Secondly, the type of conspiratorial thinking on either side is very different. The right can always name the people, because they're doing it in the reverse order. They see people say shady things and assume malice, while the left sees that the utopia is not realized and assume there is a conspiracy preventing that.
What the fuck are you talking about retard. Nothing wrong with white men you raging racist.
Your reading comprehension is pretty bad for a grad tbh. It's not that he doesn't understand the big words you used. He just doesn't believe you. It's totally out of character for Trump supporters to lie though...
To make these statements, you first have to prove that there is a correlation between leftism and stupidity. But you know that cause you are so much smarter than everyone else right?
Good luck with that btw. All metrics show leftism goes hand in hand with intelligence.
Kinda like believing the election was stolen and trying to take over the capital?
You think in extremely simple terms, if that makes your "noggin joggin" I feel sorry for you.
You’d think by now people would be posting graphs and shit with the paragraphs they’re typing
what do you mean by 'leftism'
that even aint a word
you mean an ideology like "all men are created equal"?
>tds
Yikes
Reddit spacing
Need to go back
Woah man let's not let people post facts to back up arguments.
Leftists don't believe that men are created though
You are a brain dead vegetable and a double nigger lover.
Feel like ragepiggies would be chainsmoking and pacing and aiming for the jugular with knockout studies on both nigger dick size and IQ as stratified by political ideology
>the right can always name the people
the (((cultural marxists)))
>there is a conspiracy preventing that
some. if you're blanketing leftism with communism, then conceptually it's not malice necessarily either, but how the physics of capitalism act on their own inertia. I'm not a socialist or communist, so I don't agree with that, but I can certainly see a consistent, coherent argument for it.
The key divide in today's culture is the inability to agree on reality, and it is chiefly the right's position that is contrary to most academic authority.
Go too far left and you’ll find retards, and if you go too far right you’ll find retards. I’m not very clever, nor do I know shit about politics, but that seems to be an accurate view in my eyes.
Tim Pool has entered the arena
Isn’t the primary tenet of leftism that men are inherently created differently and that the purpose of the state is to leverage mass labor for a uniform equality of outcome?
The right has given up moving goalposts and now just moves to a different field
Cultural Marxism is an ideology not a group of people. Also, there is no internal logic, it's just made up bullshit to justify having a boogeyman. What is a capitalist? It's the people who own the means of production. What is the means of production? Capital. What is capital? It's what the capitalists own. What is a capitalist?
The far left doesn't exist in America, moron. Or there would be a large push for abolishing all private businesses. The modern GOP is a delusional cult that has been propagandized beyond reality for literal decades, which has spent those decades labelling anything left of center-right as communism/socialism. You're literally as intelligent as a dildo.
Imagine thinking that as Biden is currently pushing for race based programs for the sake of equality lol
lmao
I hope Elon kills Twitter. It needs to be nuked
Welcome to the great reset and global homo
You need to go touch grass man, you're lost
And you're a racist
Dude is a bigot
>haha I said stupid a bunch of times that makes it true
>What is a capitalist? It's the people who own the means of production. What is the means of production? Capital. What is capital? It's what the capitalists own. What is a capitalist?
maybe you were going somewhere with this screed, but the hundredth grade school dictionary dictionary debate isn't interesting to me. It's almost always a right winger that can't or refuses to engage on concepts let alone understand them.
