  1. I am not shure what is the measurement of development. One way to see the west is a good functioning work camp. From the outside it looks not too bad but maybe it is not so good as it seems. https://selfishactivist.com/why-white-people-cant-dance-theyre-traumatized/
  2. Why would leftist social scientists be biased against their own interests?
  3. Well to be honest I can not even proof to you that the earth is a globe. In this site even science is not taken always as proof because science works very good but it is not an absolute proof. In the end you make your research and come up with a decision. When I for example do math 100% of the time if I have a different answer to a math problem it's an error from my side not from the experts. If you think you are so much better than the experts I am ok with but if you want to convince others you might use statistics. I don't try to convince you btw. Edtit: One thing more I mentioned the youtube guys because we can understand them and trust them somewhat. They got their information from real experts with degrees. The info is out in the open and it is not really contested by people with university professor degrees. You can google the research papers.
  4. Ok do you believe that most of the the leftist pundits are wrong? Even if that is their full time job? Even if they accept these numbers that are against their interests? Do you think you are more clever than them? People like Kyle Kulinsky, David Packman, Vaush.
  5. Not only me. You can not convince people without taking statistics seriously.
  6. I looked quite deep and most of the leftist pundits agree.
  7. Because they are like everyone else. Different ideologies are fighting for power
  8. @Robi Steel Your perspective is valid but I don't think a forum what you would like exists yet. It seems at least quite impossible. Maybe you could create a forum where it works. I guess many people tried it and it didn't work out. The hill comes to my mind but it seems they have their tabu topics where they tone it down. The result is the people are not really informed they get just a centrist view of things. The truth is not always in the middle. In politics believes are essential but they are quite fragile. They are like little plants that need a safe space to develop. That is why this forum can not open too much to the other side. You have this situation in almost in every field of life. If you have a vision in anything you have to defend them from attack. Progressivism defended harder because it's believes are far from the "natural" beginnings. So it's quite easy to destroy it. So it needs more shelter to survive. If it's worth it is a matter of believe. Gutes gelingen. Wer suchet der findet.

  10. One perspective is because of socio economic reasons, racism, slavery in the past
  11. That you are maybe a little late to the party. What do you think about it?
  12. Or we get insecure. Maybe you are replaced already. Non dual techno gods leading us.
  13. Actual Justice Warrior vs. The Surf (Vaush 2.0) on crime
  14. Religios people are easier to disprove because science is not so important for them The next level would be Vaush's debate with the canadian french evolutional biologist. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/unique-everybody-else/201211/cold-winters-and-the-evolution-intelligence
  15. I am not shure why people of a group should cheer for the other group. In general when your group (or just yourself) win they get a lot of "valuable" things for example power. I guess that is why they work so hard in the first place. If their win does not give them special powers they might not be motivated to do anything. Other example if you win in a gamble you probably are happy but if a stranger wins you will not care. Maybe some form of special system that can be created that is so fair that the people who work hard get enough value back. I guess the progressives tend to think it's possible The conservatives think less that way. The truth might be somewhere between them.
  16. Sometimes yes but sometimes it's not clear. A prof has an ego too. So he is invested in his theory so it happens he calls people dumb to make himself feel good. A dumb person is sometimes not invested in a topic and in his intelligence and can accept his ignorance.
  17. Seems not so clear: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/13/world/europe/uk-election-labour-redwall.html
  18. Because it sounds sometimes like it is not ment seriously. A way of lazy thinking. The question would be then: What does dumb mean? Is he really dumb? Why is he dumb?
  19. Really? He gives the sarcastic vibe people say. Could be his deep manly voice and sometimes his "toxic masculinity" when talks about his "massiv" dingdong. Which he scaled down a lot it seems. In his latest vid he comes off as almost conservative. He is talking about manners, trackrecord. Very judgemental for an anarchist. Something comes to my mind about his central arguments (not related to this video). What happens to people who don't want to work in his worker coop transition system (that later becomes communism)
  20. Maybe Jesse might have his situation too. Some might be very sad.
  21. Facebook is fighting the pressure, though it's not big enough: https://www.cnet.com/news/facebook-ad-boycott-how-big-businesses-hit-pause-on-hate/ https://www.wsj.com/graphics/facebook-faces-an-advertiser-boycott/
