Do you even know that? How much have you looked into why, for instance, why Dagestan has a population of three million and has produced as many Olympic wrestling and boxing champions in the last fifty years as the entire western hemisphere combined?

You being unable to refute his arguments & resting on a perceived moral superiority is the problem.
If Sailer’s argument kinda makes sense, and self-righteous weirdos respond “that’s wrong ‘cause it’s bad”, then most people will just assumed Sailer is right and that there is no argument against him.

that's…literally what this entire thread is about. I'm sorry, but do you have any idea what you're responding to?

lol. So is there, at minimum, any argument against the answers that Sailer is giving besides “that’s a slippery slope that leads to a really bad place”?
Because at minimum, you need to be able to correct wrong ideas.

This just isn’t how people think or operate

My argument is that if you don’t want people to believe the wrong answer, you need to give them the right answer

Obviously that’s fine, but it’s also obviously not how most people in reality operate.

Not that he’s right, but he’s answering the question.

And right now, the people who are providing an answer for that question are: Steve Sailer. That’s about it.

I think the point you’re trying to make would be better served by formulating and spreading a simple and clear answer for the existence of the racial disparities no one seems to think of as bad.
The basketball thing might be dumb, but huge percentages of Americans have wondered the same thing

I’d just say one of them understands their audience and how to control a narrative and the other doesn’t. It’s not fair, it’s just reality.

Do you understand that your white, Eurocentric understanding of fascist history is preventing you from clearly seeing how fascism is actually defeated in modernity?

Welp, if me calling a bad politician who lost one of the most winnable elections, against the worst GOP candidate ever is misogynistic, I guess I’m a misogynist.
Would be nice if Trump hadn’t won though and her lack of political skill seems clearly to have been a part of him winning.

Obama beat McCain in Iowa by 10 points. Clinton lost by 10. The problem was that she is a bad politician who ran a bad campaign and alienated lots of voters with careless rhetoric that was easy to weaponize.

Cool. Have fun being outraged online and losing elections forever.

lol. Imagine if she would’ve just not said something dumb. It doesn’t take a top strategic mind to realize what she was saying would be weaponized against her and have incredible backlash. If she was just a better politician and a more careful speaker, it wouldn’t have happened

Had a funny moment with that app the other day- it IDed what I was hearing as a bluebird, just as the bird came into view and was obviously a Mockingbird 😂

I agree “mean tweets” is a lazy nonresponse to real issues, I just think we make mountains out of molehills with things sometimes and that makes the actual mountains appear to be illusions.
That tweet is dumb, Trump isn’t going to take over Canada, but meaningless imo.
