  • Just be quite I think American right and left leaning people are equally retarded. Both sides will be the death of america at the rate things are going.

    • Nah. Actually the left quite factually have higher IQs in average. This has been repeatedly confirmed and known for decades.

      • Oh? Where do you get that information from? Secondly, if you're using IQ as a means to establish dominance then you are unironically in belief by that same train of logic that black people aren't as smart as white people as white people on average have higher IQs than black people.

        Put that awesome IQ to use and get outta that one, racist.

        • Only whites don't have higher IQs when malnutrition is factored in. Blacks, not even just in Africa, suffer higher rates of childhood poverty and when compared to whites in the same situation have equal average IQ.

          Interesting you'd heard the whole blacks thing and obviously never spent the 5 minutes it takes to be utterly buried by mountains of empirical data showing those leaning left have higher IQs on average, and in this case regardless of anything else.

          In fact, it's so prevalent that further studies were done to determine is it was merely that those who continued their education had higher IQs since it's also a known fact that education drives people left. They ended up testing the IQs of children before they even had a chance for higher education or to form political opinions that weren't those of their parents. They found that when they checked back in with them as adults, the more intelligent they were even as children correlated positively with how far left they leaned as adults. Deal with it.

          • That's awesome but I'm just going to cut to the chase. Send me these studies, I'd love to read them.

            • (If you really want to cut to the chase, this graph is the big picture: https://ibb.co/nQLM3nf )

              Most of the data here is derived from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, which checks in with the same sample pool over and over as they age, but there are countless other sources used as well in these endless findings. I even included a link to actual physical differences between the typical brain of the average leftist and rightist which probably explain the cognitive differences.

              This is just a small sample as we could go on all day. The fact is that it's not exactly groundbreaking stuff. It's been known and accepted in the scientific community for decades that both IQ and education positively correlate with liberalism.

              • Did you just link me to a picture of a graph...With no citation...I need a coffee, this will be a good one. It's times like these I wish I didn't give up smoking.

                1. Your first link doesn't cite an actual study, it just alludes to one. Why are you sending me an opinion piece about a study instead of the actual study this opinion piece is based on?

                2. You didn't read those studies, did you? Read the, "Conservative countries have a low average IQ" part. At most they said this only relates to "socially conservative" and that many further Liberal countries have a less average IQ.

                3. The title gave it away but I felt the need to make sure. You do realize that this study isn't in relation to comparing the intelligence of liberals and conservatives and is moreso a study on those that harbour prejudice and how they gravitate towards conservatism, right? It's about the cognitive abilities of racists that try to use conservatism to validate that racism.
                Thanks for making me read that when I know fucking full-well that you didn't.

                4. I suggest you read this one again. I don't think you realize that this argues the opposite of what you're using it for, the complete opposite infact.
