AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVE DEFINITIVELY THAT RIGHT WING BELIEFS ARE HEAVILY CORRELATED WITH LOW INTELLIGENCE:
Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes: Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low Intergroup Contact
Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice
Study links low intelligence with right-wing beliefs
Right-wing ideology and numeracy: A perception of greater ability, but poorer performance
Conservatism and cognitive ability
Intelligent people are more likely to be left-wing, says science
People with lower emotional intelligence are more likely to hold right-wing views, study finds

ERIKA has been celebrating everyday how rich she is becoming. she went through several personas, looking like kennith copeland, a demon, her eyes souless like a dolls eyes, going a WWE celebratory style funeral, and her sonya blade skin.
I know right wingers in general are thick, but Americans really do seem to take it to a new level the dull witted.
I’m sure that IC% of them wouldn’t even recognise the joke.
Is she being ironic or really didn’t actually know? It’s hard to know if attention-economy people do gimmicky things for attention or really are that… uh… unaware of things?
Laura Loomer is a reactionary asshole with early winter ground level intelligence. She doesn’t know and would argue you’re lying to not look stupid.
Can you explain what you mean about winter ground level intelligence?
Edit: you don’t have to explain why Laura is a moron, to be clear. She’s doing a fine job of that herself. I’m just curious about that phrase, I’ve never heard it before.
my guess is it’s a step below calling someone “room temperature” in reference to their perceived IQ
Is kill for a legitimate 3rd option.
I would say it wouldn’t hurt but it’s like tossing a hot dog down a hallway; kids will just be more confused and retention will likely be zero; as in how many people are still able to even read cursive writing? Let’s see how this pans out, I guess?
but you know what Arabic numerals are, right?
Here is 1 of them :D
I thought it was referring to the old style ones? I mean I’m not against people learning those, just heh good luck remembering them if you don’t use them everyday. Kinda how I had I can only understand the french in clair obscur expedition 33 but oh boy don’t ask me to write anything in french now lol
The “old style” was Indian Numerals. We have always used and been taught the original style of Arabic Numerals in the modern world.
dont you mean roman numerals? so confused
Feel free to check the link I provided.
How did you reach the conclusion that they’re “heavily correlated”? From the studies you posted, I’m seeing effect sizes of r ≈ 0.2, which is usually considered a weak correlation. A change in one variable explains only about 4% of variance in the other.
An effect of this magnitude is, I suspect, consistent with left wing beliefs/ideology being transmitted at universities, whose population has already passed a selection filter on intelligence.
left wing beliefs/ideology being transmitted at universities
As in between peers, or do you genuinely think that universities teach socialism as an economic model that should be followed or something?
i mean i went to a conservative college for undergrad. the idiots (not all of the students, just there were some real idiots. you’ve met me) at that college (compared to the peers i met at the other universities i attended) basically put the idea in my head “if that’s this side, i want nothing to do with it. at least the idiots on the other side aren’t as idiotic or hateful”
i didn’t ever run into the idiots at the other universities (which i guess means i must’ve been it), so it was fun.
I saw this joke at least XV times already…
After 2016 I spent a lot of tine on reddit talking to Trump voters to understand why.
Overwhelmingly they believe things that aren’t true. Basic misconceptions of the world cascading in on one another culminating into the stupidest vote of their life.
One guy thought Obama was a vain man because he named his healthcare plan Obamacare. When I told him the healthcare plan was called the Affordable Care Act, and that Republicans and the media called it Obamacare as a way to hurt it, gis brain couldn’t process it because why would the media parrot Republican talking points if they were all biased towards Democrats?
You can understand how this individual would make this mistake. He pays just enough attention to be misinformed. Three generations of right-wing propaganda, the world’s most disciplined messaging machine repeating the same lies and half-truths have absolutely run roughshod over this type of person.
Reddit post of a MAGA explaining they’re all in on Trump, don’t care, never will, stop trying to argue with them in their own words.
meanwhile they voted for a man who puts his name on everything
There’s a lot of “Heal the political divide” being said to mean “meet them halfway” when what it should mean is the ignorant and prejudiced learn and the media machine dismantled, like how “Heal the healthcare class divide” means “Help poor people see doctors affordably”.
This is all according to plan. The owner class needs to keep the plebs stupid.
Which is why the first thing they cut is public school funding
see: charter schools strangling the public school budgets, so the chuds can turn around and say “look at how bad our schools are doing!”, rinse & repeat
*badly. … but I guess bad grammar is the point.
Why would they call themselves DemonRats if they weren’t actually demonic rats? Checkmate.
The Arab Numerals joke is old. I heard this over two decades ago in the wake of 9/11 and I’m sure it’s not the first iteration.
It’s funny because the anti muslims are ignorant of the contributions muslims made to society and language, and are unaware those are the numerals we use.
Yeah, it’s old, and yet it still works on those idiots.
Same goes for the old dihydrogen oxide one.
I think you meant to say IX/XI.
It’s funny because we keep pointing it out, and every fucking individual conservative shitslinger has had this lesson multiple times, and it never seems to stick.
I know, it’s getting dumber too. A lot dumber.
Many of their influencers, it’s not that they don’t know, they don’t care. They are playing the sheep, and they’ve been taught from their influencers and leaders how to do it, and truth plays little to no part in any of it.
In all seriousness thank God for the Arabic number system. It would be a nightmare to use Roman numerals for math
Base-10 is objectively terrible, though. Too many fundamental principles of geometry rely on 1:3 and 1:6 ratios that can’t be properly depicted in Base-10.
If there were a god, they would have given us 6 digits on each hand, inspiring us to develop a base-12 number system.
All number systems are base 10. It’s just that we define the 1 in 10 as meaning x x x x x x x x x x quantity. Binary is base 10 with 10 equating to 2 in the decimal base.
And a second shoutout to the Hindu invention of the concept of 0.
Mamdami is forcing children to participate in a heinous Islamic ritual called Al-gebra. It’s like, demonic spells or something.
Don’t forget the practice of “Kâbit Al-isim.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism_and_Islam#Historical_examples
Don’t laugh! As the Islamic Golden Age was pivoting towards religious extremism, algebra was labeled as sorcery and turned into a capital crime.
They’re solving for X, which is slang for MDMA and also what porn is rated. Obviously they’re indoctrinating kids into child rape cults.
Wait, no, the child rape cult was Trump.
NO HE WAS UNDERCOVER TO EXPOSE THEM
I do not want the mental imagery of trump under the covers
And teaching them how to do Islamic ablutions, like using mouthwash and washing their hands. And showering! Heinous!
nah, do the french ablutions
BIDETS FOR NEW YORK
That’s literal shariah you are preaching, you Afghan spy!

YOU THINK THAT’S A COINCIDENCE???
well now i don’t
Ah, they’d just pronounce it wrong. Buh-DAY, they’d say. No, it’s a nice idea but I don’t think it’ll flush.
ALL THESE DRINKIN FOUNTAINS TOO LOW
He probably uses Islamic inventions like H’ard So’ap and Bi-nominal functions!! SINCE WHEN DO NUMBERS NEED TO HAVE SEXUAL PREFERENCES?!
They even drink the Muslim Beverage C’off We!
Someone dumb enough to be concerned would definitely also think a basic equation looked like stygian summoners runes
Excuse me… all the links above use Arabic numbers: they are unreliable.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Damn “woke ass” numbers
AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVE DEFINITIVELY THAT RIGHT WING BELIEFS ARE HEAVILY CORRELATED WITH LOW INTELLIGENCE:
AKA dumb and ignorant people believe more lies. Trump loves the uneducated.
The Republican strategy for decades was to target fifth-grade intelligence. Trump’s political innovation was to target third-grade intelligence.
I refuse arabic numbers. What the fuck is 2? 7? 9??? These are all made up concepts invented to corrupt the mind of people.
Look at how elegant these look instead: 10, 111, 1001.
they have played us for absolute fools
This is the way. Embrace binary numbers. Reject everything that is nonbinary.
I dont care if i have to say it X times, roman numerals are superior
IV/V Romans agree…
Perfect V/VII
Yes but how is it with rice?
Only if it’s garnished with silphium.
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 𒁹𒌋𒌋𒌋𒌋 times, the babylonians got it right
I’ve said it at least ν times, the Greeks had the weirdest system.
We’ve said it
times, our family will use a proper Aztec numbers just like our forefathers
Base 12 ftw.
Base-12 is absolutely gorgeous for geometry. A metric system on base-12? <chef’s kiss>
It’s base 60 actually. With up to 5 𒌋 meaning 10 followed by up to 9 𒁹 meaning one. I actually should have put a space between the 60s place and the 1s place and formatted it as: 𒁹 𒌋𒌋𒌋𒌋
It’s a lot easier to read in clay because you bunch the characters up within their place, and if it were used in modern day it would likely be autocorrected to make it easier
Base 60 does make dividing evenly into 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, etc. really easy.
If I were raised in China or something and used to memorizing / recognizing dozens or hundreds of symbols, then having individual symbols for the numbers 0 to 59 might be nice. But, as someone who only learned a 26 letter alphabet and 10 digits I like base 10 because it’s quick to parse a number.
How did the Babylonians write 61? 6 𒁹 symbols, a space then a single 𒁹 ? Was it easy to tell the difference between say 21 and 3?
61 would be 𒁹 𒁹. Essentially the same way we write 11. It can be compared to 𒁹𒁹 meaning 2, which would appear bunched up as opposed to separated. Plenty of room for very large errors and I suspect if it’d stuck around you’d probably see something like a distinct 1, 9, 10, and 50 tallies to indicate “hey this is where this place begins” as well as a zero. For 21 it would be 𒌋𒌋𒁹, and for 3 it’s 𒁹𒁹𒁹.
Cuneiform is a writing system highly constrained by its medium. It’s just pressing triangular reeds into clay. Any shape you can’t get out of that isn’t in the writing system. Using conjoined tallies makes sense for it.
yeah, seeing the symbols spread out across multiple characters makes it hard to tell whether that’s 100 or something else (considering i learned counting in cuneiform just this moment)
Yeah, but you have to give it credit, it’s really easy to pick up as far as number systems go. Definitely less useful for math and science than modern European-Arabic numerals, but much better for logistics and administration than say roman numerals
They are letters tho.
Why use many digits when few digits do trick?
I need a hug. We live in such a depressing world sometimes.
