See if they base their life around claiming they are intellectually superior. Like OP does.
Meanwhile, he lacks the proper discipline and still sleep through things like job interviews in his 30s.

You gotta be a real degenerate to ever sleep through something like a job interview.

Btw, we're kind of glossing over this: But what kind of loser sleeps through anything? Even the hair cuts he said as if it didn't matter?

I make an appointment, I make it unless something drastic (emergency, accident, act of God) gets in my way. I don't care if it's a hair cut or, God forbid, a fuking job interview. If it's important enough to make an appointment, you either make it or you don't make the appointment in the first place.

Are other people so casually unreliable and unable to manage simple things in their lives like this? No wonder this kid is such a massive loser. Reliability is the first thing anyone looks for in an employee, I don't care if you work for McDonalds. He just gleefully admitted he's not fit to flip burgers, much less hold a more demanding job.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Milton Friedman was not right wing. He was libertarian which isn't right wing. And yes Thomas Sowell just regurgitates all his ideas. Not am impressive intellectual at all.

The left also gatekeeps academics and intellectualism very strongly. Say something non pc and they will destroy you. The made the guy who won a Nobel prize for discovering DNA give it back because he said there an inherent genetic differences between different races.

The best right wing intellectuals are edgey and they challenge conventional wisdom way more than a typical ph@gg0t libertarian. I highly recommend Sam Francis as one to read.

Also recommend American Renaissance as higher quality light intellectual reading anyone can get into.

I wouldn't call the upper tier GOP intelligent but I would call them Machiavellian. They are very good at manipulating their base to believe in all sorts of silly conspiracies to keep them within the fold.

Of course, they need their base to be uneducated and gullible and devoid of critical thought, because educated people don't fall for these ruses. It's why the GOP want to erode education and they instill ludicrous fears of evil cabals controlling universities. Why? To scare people away from higher education. College educated people see right through Trump because his grift only works on the lower IQ.


Plus, people who think critically and are tolerant of diverse faiths and walks of life, and basically accept that change and novelty are fundamental features of reality, don't vote Republican.

The highly educated people on here I know of are left-leaning. They focus on substantive arguments. Look how quickly the Trumpers ITT resorted to personal attacks and vitriol.
Back off, Warchild.

Deplorable, uneducated cultist are truly the least this country has to offer. They believe every CT they hear. They deny science. The abhor education. And most laughable of all they actually think Trump GAF about them when in reality he wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

He'd switch to dem in a nano second if the Brad Pitt's, George Clooney's, and Obama's of the world didn't shun him for being the two-bit fraudster that he is.

Love this for you deplorable cultist.

Lol the left is the group trying to cancel free speech and free thought. Would you and the left take this hypothetical deal on education: you can teach whatever you want regarding CRT/institutional racism/whatever explanation you want for black people being last on every educational/standardized testing/income metric, but you also have to present the argument that a large reason is genetic and there are inherent differences in intelligence between white and black people. Would you take that deal?

I love how education is viewed as simply a means to a job or salary, rather than not going through life as an absolute fuking moron.

Absolutely there is. Intelligence is an inherited trait. It's like 80% inherited. Black average IQ is about 85 and white is like 102.

There is no organic difference.

Education can just reproduce the status quo and churn out more automatons but no capacity for critical thought. Why are we seeing fascism make a comeback even though we beat the fuk out of the 1930s in literacy and information access? Why are we repeating the errors of the past?


Education is a great answer for an already intelligent populace who think critically. Without that, education is just the ruling class' means of reproducing themselves.
Education does more than reproduce the status quo. For example, a sufficiently advanced understanding of biology and physics effectively eliminates theocracies. As I said before, the nazis wouldn't be able to exist today knowing what we know. For example, their racial pseudoscience has been exposed and invalidated.

You can be a ph@gg0t and play word games but you can trace someone's ancestry from DNA. Do you feel better if I say sub Saharan Africans are less intelligent than Europeans or East Asians?

Certain groups of people are less intelligent than others. People who trace their ancestry back to Africa are less intelligent than people who trace their ancestry to Europe. Since you like playing word games.

Sounds like cope because leftists are dominating academia and now conservatives don't populate universities anymore but rather gloryholes at truckstops.

You guys can't even define what a woman is. And not getting the jab equals denying science? Do we have to point out all the topics in life, where you're ignorant in? You're labeled a stupid **** for a reason, because you're pretty much wrong when it comes to everything.

You wore a mask outdoors, you compared masks to seatbelts, you got every jab on the planet and bragged about it.

Jewish, not leftist.

"Leftism" isn't really an intellectual viewpoint. It's just an organized plan to quietly exterminate Jews' enemies (Europeans/Amalek).
