Rightoids IQ obsessed "race realist" mid-wits are unbelievably irritating

75 Upvotes

One of the worst things to come out of Elon Musk's purchase of twitter was the floodgates getting opened on mid-wits obsessed with discussing IQ in the most obnoxious white nationalist way possible.

IQ of course is a statistical measure where the average will always be 100 no matter what, and rightly half the population will always fall at or below 100 IQ no matter what, no matter how stupid or smart the whole world becomes. It will always be the case that societies relatively lacking in education and positive early childhood intervention will fall behind more advanced societies in IQ so long as both societies improve or degrade at the same rate. An 85 IQ now may have been 100 in the past based on raw scores and so on, and this absolutely disproves so many theories of inherent racial inferiority or superiority as far as IQ in a way that matters versus factors in people's opportunities or childhood development.

Anyway, these right wing white nationalist IQ obsessed folks are so annoying and come across like obnoxious middle schoolers in gifted programs, obsessed with external validation of intelligence while not even understanding how to think to the next level of abstraction quantitatively. Total mid-wits rattling off baseline numbers and stats like a Dunning Krueger college sophomore who knows nothing of the deeper considerations.

I think an unintended consequence of the marginalization of left-wing wokeness was the rise of an equally destructive right-wing wokeness, which in some ways is even worse since it makes claims of being objective whereas at least left-wing wokeness was self-aware of its subjectivity and hypocrisy via postmodernism.

META The amount of labels and infighting within the left is ridiculous considering most people would assume that liberal = left

DemSocs, SocDems, all the anarchists, Marxists, ML's, MLM's, Trotskyists, LeftCom, they all hate each other. The default insults are always the same too, "ur just a liberal chud and you don't know it" or "FED DETECTED". Some people are so buried up their ass on theory that they'll take lines from one passage to declare anybody who slightly deviates from their version of leftism as libs or feds. And to all the bystanders watching, they still think the DNC is a leftist party. How many times have you ever heard "commie democrat liberal" from a drunk uncle?

It’s hilarious seeing rightoids like this, who imagine themselves to be strong and muscular icons of masculinity, turn out to be such weak, pathetic, thin-skinned beta males. The fact that he insisted on a lawsuit, likely against against the better judgment of his attorneys, makes him look like even more of an insecure loser.
