I really want Elon to royally frickup Social Security, Medicaid, Medicaid, and piss off all old voters to go after the GOP.

I hope his zoomer twinks royally frickup and crash websites, block payments for months.

Me. Yesterday. On Twitter. A million and a half views and soon to be a hundred thousand likes. I get why so many of you abandoned Twitter. I REALLY DO. But the fight rages on there in a way it doesn't on any other platform. Including this one.

Despite knowing that Elon is literally Himmler reincarnate, Patrick is still a Twitter addict and barely posts on bluesky because number doesn't go burrrrrr.

Patrick is also the most throttled account in #resistance history due to his power, yet he still pulls numbers. That would have easily been a 50M like twitter if Elon didn't flip the switch!

Blueskiiers just don't have Patrick's grit, determination, and wit which let him outmanuver Elon daily on his own platform. Pathetic.

You see, this post was not only a humble brag, but a trap to draw out stalker children who would disagree with Patrick! Enjoy banworld stalker child, truly your feeds will fall to fascism without Patrick's guiding light.

Don't forget. This is how you fight fascists (from approximately the past 36-48 hours, only tweets including "enjoy prison")

And turns out she was just. bored!

UPDATE: Woah Vicky says she started the false rumor that she was kidnapped in Nigeria.

“I was just bored forgive me y’all,” she said.

Her fans and critics were not amused however, with many slamming her for spreading such rumor using a country that kidnapping actually happens… pic.twitter.com/bJISJ4v0kJ

As one can assume the reaction from the Black community went from "Please, keep her" and "This is obviously fake" to "Darnit, we wish she was really kidnapped"

but they're still mad at her for being a racist b-word

Jannied for asking in bad faith. Tons of incessant chuddery and hand wringing in good faith.

There are many replicated studies showing IQ differences between races, so people who say otherwise are either uninformed or attempting to be politically correct. Your teacher is wrong unfortunately. The IQ differences are also at least partially explained by genetics.

Oh my god, where do I even start with this flaming hot dumpster fire of a comment? You rolled up here acting like you've cracked the genetic code of human intelligence, but all you've done is regurgitate centuries-old, debunked, pseudo-scientific garbage with the confidence of someone who skimmed one bad blog post and decided they're an expert. Let's tear this apart

First off, "replicated studies"? Really? That's the hill you're dying on? Newsflash, IQ differences between groups don't prove some grand genetic narrative, they prove we live in a world rife with inequities. Poverty, education quality, systemic discrimination, ring any bells? Oh, wait, let me guess, you skimmed a headline and decided all these factors are just "politically correct excuses." Actual scientists, you know,the kind who publish peer-reviewed research and don't just scream into the void online, have consistently shown that environmental factors account for these differences. Your take isn't just wrong, it just stupidly,embarrassingly simplistic.

Let's talk about race for a second. You do realize race isn't some neat biological category, right? It's a social construct, a messy one at that. The genetic diversity within any so-called racial group is greater than the differences between groups. So your whole "race = IQ" argument doesn't even make it out of the starting gate. It's like saying people with big feet are better at math because shoe size must correlate with intelligence. Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds? Because everyone else does.

Your weak little disclaimer about not using this to judge individuals. Congrats on trying to sound reasonable while peddling a racist framework. That's like saying, "Hey, I'm just pointing out how pineapples ruin pizza, but don't judge each slice on an individual basis." You're still serving up garbage. Your argument isn't bold or groundbreaking, it's tired. It's ignorant. It's been dismantled so many times by actual experts that bringing it up now is like showing up to a chess match with checkers pieces and insisting you're winning. Next time, maybe spend less energy parroting outdated eugenics nonsense and more time engaging with actual research. Or, you know, just sit this one out entirely. We'd all be better off.

Could you send me the information that lead you to the conclusions of "Actual scientists, you know,the kind who publish peer-reviewed research and don't just scream into the void online, have consistently shown that environmental factors account for these differences.". From my understanding, environmental factors most certainly play a large role in IQ, especially poverty and malnutrition, but I'm not familiar with any research that shows environment explaining anywhere close to all the variance in IQ between or within groups.

use your brain here, depending on where you are born, you have genetics in line with that population/ethnicity you're from. literally anything: skin colour, eye colour, muscle mass, bone density, lung capacity will vary between ethnicities. why on earth is IQ different?

Precisely. The only reason it's denied is because the implications are bleak and immuttable.

Pretty people privilege is another one many don't like to touch at all. Attractiveness and intelligence are the two privileges that transcend all others. If youre honest and attentive, you'll notice that most of the people crying about privilege online are often lacking in both.

There are. It's just a forbidden topic because it upsets people.

I don't think there's a differentiation with race, more like country since your intelligence heavily relies on multiple external factors which aren't innate/genetic.

Anyone who's downmarseying me is obviously white lol.

I at least upmarseyd because I agree.

Yea, as we all know the average iq is probably higher in small university towns too, not surprising due to the selection of people that arrive to town and the heritability of iq. But we shut the f up about that too. We don't express it that way because we all know that the unwashed masses and the woke left and the unhinged right will make any discussion impossible so just drop the subject if you want to stay sane.

Well the argument is almost always done in bad faith. It's almost alway to show that a certain race or group is naturally dumber than another. It holds 0 real benefit. Race is also a pretty ambiguous term because there is a ridiculous amount of genetic diversity in most "races"

How is there 0 benefit in understanding that cognitive ability varies for genetic reasons between groups? If we knew that this was the case, maybe we wouldn't have invested trillions of dollars into affirmative action and educational intervention for the purpose of remediating said differences? As long as the assumption that these gaps exist for purely environmental reasons, people will continue to believe that the White Europeans are responsible for oppressing those others to the degree that such differences manifest.

Geneticist here! Also gifted URM.

Two important factors to consider: 1. Genetic differences: Intelligence is a polygenic trait, meaning it is influenced by many genes. Currently, not all the genes associated with intelligence have been identified. In fact, there are still many gaps in our understanding of the genetic basis for various traits. For example, services like 23andMe sometimes make incorrect predictions (e.g., they claim I have wavy hair, which I don't). Until we fully understand the genetic factors that contribute to intelligence, we can't definitively determine how it varies across populations. 2. Environmental influences: IQ is often confounded with factors like poverty, education, and access to resources. At present, most identified gifted children come from stable, supportive households where parents have the time and resources to nurture their potential. In contrast, moderately gifted children from less privileged backgrounds may not be as readily identified, as they often lack access to the same opportunities and enrichment. This means our awareness of giftedness is highly skewed by socioeconomic factors.

As you can probably guess, race, culture, and poverty are deeply interconnected due to historical and systemic inequalities. Until we can fully disentangle the effects of these factors, any conclusions about the prevalence of giftedness across racial or cultural groups come with significant caveats.

Why do poor whites, asians, and jews commit significantly less crime than would be predicted of their socioeconomic status? Why has there not been a single study that shows socioeconomic intervention has been effective in reducing these so called "environmental factors"?

poor white british people in council estate areas in england are in the top 5 parts of england with the highest crime rate

The British Empire sent their criminals to Australia and the prison colonies of Georgia, America, and Australia has been doing pretty great lately.

yeah hundreds of years ago not now you are just denying statistics two of the top 5 worst areas for crime in england were over 92% white middlesborough and cleveland search it up for urself the other 3 were black areas you just deny data its unbelievable

I'm just pointing out a whole bunch of criminals were sent to Australia, and they made a functioning society. That's pretty impressive.

There are, but it's taboo to talk about it.

how come in India punjab has an iq of 96 and uttar pradesh is around 70-80 its a lot to do with financial aswell

May I see the study that purports Punjab IQ to be an average of 96?

https://raceandiqmyths.blogspot.com/2016/12/average-iq-of-india-and-iq-map-of-india.html

its actually 99

Read "The Bell Curve "

this is like saying "read mein kampf"

There is a notable difference between the mean IQ of different races, with Asians testing the highest followed by whites then Latinx then blacks, but it's a topic that a lot of people aren't emotionally ready to handle. See this cartoon for a funny take on the controversy.

If you want to learn more, you can always read The Bell Curve, which dove deep into this topic. You could also look into the Minnesota Study of Twins Raised Apart (MINSTRA), which found that genetics plays arguably the biggest role in intelligence, estimated at around 70 - 75%. The role of environment also plays a role but as children become adults, the effects of genetics become more pronounced and environment less pronounced.

this is fricking insane. you just linked to a white supremacist comic made by a literal nazi, then linked to a book by a fricking white supremacist who claims that the reason for the current social strata is that women, black people and latinx people are fundamentally stupider than white men and as such can't compete in the workplace.

when you start linking nazis and white supremacists to back up your points you need to start realising you're insane.

And you follow progressive values that led to 1920's Progressive eugenics that Nazi's learned their methodology from? 1920's Progressives were sending Native Americans to the reservation. 1920's Progressives were experimenting on minorities, but you're a Progressive, right? By the way, Progressive Christian values that were reactionary to traditional christianity.

quite possibly the most insane take you could've had. this sub is parroting the talking points of eugenicists.

there's nothing progressive about the nazis. there's nothing progressive about christianity. the real progressives in germany were researching about trans ppl before they were all killed and all their books and research was burned by the nazis.

nazis were insanely reactionary. literally complete opposite of being progressive lmao.

also "reactionary to traditional christianity"???? do you know what reactionary means??

It's funny how woke/SJW are posting on all these places thinking that anyone has the wherewithall to actually read any of it. I don't give a crap about DEI, all I care about is who has the best product and the best price for it.What's more interesting though is the psychological mentality for people thinking this is somehow useful. It's not, all I care about is product and price. This is same train of "organic" food which failed because the real issue isn't DEI but economics for normal families. (-44)

No one mentioned DEI, I just said I didn't want to support MAGA. No one will have the best price shortly.And the best way, and most American way to vote has, and always will be, vote with your wallet. I'm voting with mine. (19)

So are you a capitalist or a constitutionalist.In your world, I am responsible for not only voting my conscience, but am then responsible for the economic stability of people who express ideals that are inimical to my belief systems. Under that logic, I am being punished for valuing things like free speech (if Musk is a special government employee, and he's actively banning political views from X, then this is a violation of my rights), separation of church and state, equal rights, etc.The moral gymnastics you are doing here is amazing. You've said it yourself, you really don't care, as long as people take care of your business by shopping at it. That's unbelievably selfish and completely morally vapid. (0)

are the two mutually exclusive?Didn't say you're responsible for others, but I did point out the harm that you'd cause (it would take a LARGE group of boycotters to have an impact, so when I say "you" I mean the entire r/kirkland subreddit) and the futility of your efforts (ya aint gonna change anybody's mind, but you will most likely entrench them). I can't tell you what to do, but I can let you know how stupid and futile it is.I think you misread. I pointed out the harm a boycott would do to businesses - not only the target's business but affiliated businesses and employees. And while it could include my business, the point I was making is the interconnectivity of all of us in this community. So how much collateral damage do you think is acceptable to punish someone for legally and constitutionally exercising their right to vote?Again, boycott criminals, child male feminists, and real Nazis. But when one group of people tries to punish another group for voting in their own self-interest,... (2)

What do you think will happen? If you boycott Spud Fish & Chips* because the owner voted for Trump, which do you think is more likely:a - The owner sits in a dark room with a glass of scotch and re-assess his life and choices. He thinks, "wow, maybe I AM wrong and I shoulda voted for Kamala"b - as sales at Spud Fish and Chips take a 10% hit, he lays off two employees and reduces his orders from local food and supplies vendors. He has no idea why sales have dropped because all the people who disagree with him ARENT engaging with him - they're boycotting. All he knows is what FOX news tells him, and he blames it on Bob Ferguson's climate policies. * I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE OWNER OF SPUD VOTES! I'm just using him/her as an example. Anyway, boycott child male feminists. Boycott real, avowed racists and Nazis. But don't boycott people who are exercising their Constitutional right to have an opinion (no matter how misinformed it may be) and to vote on it. Because that's waaaayyy too close to firi... (2)

Well, you said women can r*pe too, which had nothing to do with anything we were talking about, so I thought I would get you another r*pe fact because I thought that's what was happening. But what you said had frick all to do with anything we were on about. It's an easy way of inflating assault statics that's what spitting is. It's not nice, but it's harmless. Well, unless you have aids. But 99% of the time it's harmless.The way you are defending and the points you are making, I just thought you were trans. Let's start. I'm an adult who can't hear and see words because of some bullshit. Schools are messing with kids' heads and are destroying lives because of this trans moment. The impacts this will have in the future will be more suicide. They are pushing child mutilation. Trans women are way more violent, and I don't understand how this isn't being looked into more. They're a real danger to the public. But yeah, can't be arsed with this bye. (0)

It does. You said male feminists don't have access to women's bathrooms in prison. Obviously that's incorrect, since male feminist women go to prison, and they use the bathroom there. Or do you think r*pe doesn't count when a cis woman does it?How? Do you have any evidence of this?That's just factually wrong. Statistically, trans women are LESS violent. Where are you getting the idea that they're more violent? (1)

Just like pretty much everything else, it's performative lip service bullshit that grew out of a partisan divide. The liberals were against the Vietnam war, and it was spun by the right as being against the veterans. Some of them were, of course, but not really all. Anyway, the right claimed it as some sort of moral high ground bad for preachy about it, so now everyone makes a distinction between being anti war and being anti vet by using nice, cheap words to thank them for their service rather than being inconvenienced by doing something useful for veterans. (2)

My uncle fought in Vietnam. He would send notes home to my grandmother, and everyone in the family telling them how bad the war really was and that the media lied to everybody, (and they did lie.) They made it seem like it wasn't a big deal but it was. Agent Orange was not a joke. Napalm was not a joke. They had kids that they were forcing to enlist. Imagine having to shoot a kid because they were forced to believe that you were an enemy. He had to shoot them and came home with ptsd. Full regrets of going to Vietnam. Just remember that war is never like most of media claims. It might actually be way worse than they make it out to be. The media lies. (2)
