Hello. I am here to tell you some things about yourselves in hopes that some self reflection occurs. I will do this in list form.
Your worldview is rooted in one thing: fear. First example: the alpha/beta dichotomy. Well adjusted people with healthy self esteem do not engage in this sort of masculine posturing. The first time I heard someone declare themselves an alpha male I felt an immense amount of secondhand embarrassment. This artificial division of men into weak and strong categories is ironic given the men who claim alpha male status tend to do so as the result of some disconnect from their emotions that is leading to insecurity. Gender is a construct: you produce estrogen, men.
Second example: the widespread belief in racial superstition. Most of you seem threatened by other races, or at least seem to spend a lot of your time thinking about them negatively in a way that suggests you would be uncomfortable with a society that accepted racial difference. However, despite changing demographics white men are still by far the dominant political power holding group in the United States and abroad. Take the US, for example. The vast majority of congressmen are white males and the black people in congress represent the white elite anyway: the congressional black caucus recently voted in favor of police militarization despite the events in Ferguson MO. If black people held political power, such events would play out differently. More importantly, your theories on race are absurd: all modern scientists who aren't complete wingnuts believe that race is socially constructed (90% of genetic difference actually occurs within local populations, therefore within supposed races there are immense genetic differences). Sociological explanations for human behavoir have proven far more tenable than the race theories that had an obvious political motivation: hierarchy
Moving forward, look to foster healthy relationships in your life. Reclaim your feelings and humanity.

Somewhat right, as alphas never declare themselves as such, it is just known. But natural hierarchy exists, regardless of how you FEEL. It is ironic that you say our views are a product of fear, when you are afraid of looking in the mirror and realizing you cannot lift your own bodyweight. Posturing is too extreme, but so is this "accept my inferiority" nonsense.
>Second example: the widespread belief in racial superstition. Most of you seem threatened by other races, or at least seem to spend a lot of your time thinking about them negatively in a way that suggests you would be uncomfortable with a society that accepted racial difference
I am uncomfortable because my views no longer matter, as they are now trivialized and the media paints a caricature to try and discredit my views on things like guns and immigration.
Upsetting of a demographic always leads to unrest, but it isn't ok if you are a male, straight, or white. God forbid you are all three combined.

there's actually quite a bit of evidence behind the claim. if you're so dripping with ideology that you still believe our society is somehow meritocratic i fear for you. it is hard to come up with good ideas when you were born into a cycle of poverty and have to work minimum wage all day (potentially several labor intensive jobs, actually), and even if you did again it takes starting resources and social capital to enact on an invention. if you can't defend your views with reason, maybe you should be questioning them

the categorization of people into racial groups exists and has consequences, that doesn't make it scientific. take for example the system in south africa during apartheid: even as a racist today you likely arent familiar with all the categories used to differentiate race by S.A.. You have a different conception of race than the white elite in SA did. Here we see the differences in racial construction even among dominant group members. Also, the timeless example of the irish not being considered white and now they are by the vast majority of people.

white kids can learn things, absolutely. start by reading a people's history of the US and getting some real facts on why things are imbalanced. we should be dismantling these racial divisions entirely through education, i value those kids you call white and want them to live in a world without race at all. segregation has probably prevented many interesting exchanges of ideas and friendships.

Loaded question. Never said it wasn't, but be real here. Not every person is AS valuable, because they may have flaws. Doesn't mean extermination is called for, but does mean they will always be subconsciously judged by everyone.

even the mainstream view of "homo acceptance" amounts to assimilation into straight norms.

It's not the amount of difference it's what is different.

> What he found turned the whole story upside down. The smudged number was just the beginning. All the data relevant to Morton’s alleged bias—his measurements and calculations—contradicted Gould’s claim. Morton’s errors didn’t show a pattern of bias; Gould’s did... Lewis and his colleagues found several anomalies in Gould’s analysis. In addition to his erroneous figure for mean Caucasian cranial size, he had miscalculated the average cranial size of two Native American tribes and had excluded another tribe when computing the overall Native American average. He had omitted, without any stated justification, all skulls from tribes with fewer than four representatives in the sample, but he had not applied the same rule to non–Native American groups. He had also excluded—again, without stated justification—all Native American skulls that Morton had previously measured with a different technique, even though Morton scrapped that technique and remeasured the skulls so that all of them were eventually measured the same way. Again, Gould didn’t apply this rule to non–Native American skulls. All of Gould’s errors and unexplained methodological quirks narrowed the racial gaps. Perhaps the most damning thing the authors found was Gould’s copy of Morton’s book on the skulls. Gould, noting that Morton had overreported average Native American cranial size in one table, had speculated that Morton did so because it “demoted blacks” and thereby “provided so much satisfaction that Morton never thought of checking himself.” But the error, which was plainly typographical since Morton accurately reported the figure on the previous page, had been corrected in very old ink in several copies of the book, including Gould’s. Morton had corrected himself. Gould had ignored the correction.

They are, however, used by physical anthropologists. And IQ tests are reliable indicators of all sorts of life trends associated with intelligence.

That's funny, our ancestors throughout history knew nothing but poverty, for thousands of years we didn't even have indoor heating or electricity, let alone the myriad luxuries even the impoverished people enjoy today. Any poor person can go online and learn about anything they want, that was much more difficult in the past when information wasn't as cheap and readily available.
So basically, we have things easier now then ever in any point in our history as a species, and people complain that they are being kept down.

I just used my lies on the internet image in another thread. Goddamn it.
Anyway, that's actually not true. Men do not produce estrogen however estrogen is present in the male body.
Males produce testosterone from their testicles and it aromatizes into estrogen (and some of it then converts, or aromatizes, back again to testosterone).
Similarly, women do not produce testosterone but it aromatizes from the estrogen their bodies produce.

You are defining communism according to the claims of communists. That's like defining monarchism according to the guys who defended the divine rights of kings and said that monarchy was the rule of the elected by god.
If you want to understand what communism really is, you must look at communist countries and see the characteristics that they all share. From Cambodia to Cuba. From the Soviet Union to Ethiopia. From Poland to Laos.
There is a single thing: absolute control of every organ of civil society by the Communist Party. This is communism. That's why communism always could convive with illegal black market capitalistic economies, there is nothing about actual communism that prevents the private ownership of the means of production, it only must be under control of the Party.
Why is America a communist country, then, if the Communist Party is very weak? Because America follows a different path to communism, not the Marxist-Leninist, but the Cultural Marxist, according to the writings of Antonio Gramsci.
According to Gramsci, the role of the intelligentsia was creating a cultural hegemony and organizing civil society so that the Communist Party would become a invisible superstructure of society, regulating every organ, exercing totalitarian control, but controlled itself by the organic intellectuals.
This is exactly what has happened since the 1960s. There is not a single organ of civil society in the United States that isn't under control of communist intellectuals (or could be destroyed at will by then).

The concept of being successful of your own merit isn't just about making an fucking invention that people use it's about being hardworking, taking risks for greater rewards, providing a need or service that wasn't provided before, being assertive and forward thinking.

I understand very well what "council communism" means. You don't. Or you do, and expouses it for exactly that reason.
What happens in liberal democracies, where (with a bit of regulation, of course, i'm no free-market fundamentalism) the economical and political spheres of power are separate? They compete, someone who doesn't have political power can use economical power to survive, or someone who doesn't have economical power can use political power (which is what socialists mostly do).
What does it happen when political power and economical power (and social power, and cultural power etc) are concentred into a single hand (be it Stalin or the "council")?
Communism, of course. The absolute control of civil society by the Communist Party, just with a different name or social organization.

OP is not baiting or trolling, this post is a shill attempt.
Listen up you silly nigger
All actions are rooted in fear
All of them.
Your survival instinct, the fear of death, is the only thing that motivates you.
To try and argue that the motivators for any action do not ultimately stem from the survival instinct is preposterous and destructive.
How someone feels about an issue, especially something as eclectic as races as a whole, is grounded in how their survival motivator has been molded by their upbringing.
In regards to racism, look through history. Look at all the civilizations which began as a mostly homogenous group and rose to great prosperity, and this prosperity brought an eventual surge of non-homogenous peoples (non natives to the group). These civilizations became wrought with dissolved sense of purpose and were destroyed from within.
The story of Babylon is possibly the oldest and most known example of such an occurrence.
Rome's history is oft-cited on this board as another example.
And the trends seen within the USA in the past 70 or so years are fitting to the pattern.
Getting back to racism:
Non-homogenous groups self destruct due to the convergence of so many radically different cultural ideologies ripping each other at the seams. Racism is a part of the survival instinct, more specifically the desire for the group to preserve itself. What has been passed through history is a sense of "different equals bad", as it has been shown many times that large differences end up tearing down the entire group.

>Whitey is keeping us down!
>There's no such thing as races!
dat commie doublethink
2/2
Based upon this, a knowledge of what the self and group survival instinct exists for, I surmise a contemplative theory about socialist-radicals, marxists, what-have-you types of people.
Their survival instinct is broken in a sense that they care not for the people they are and have come from, but rather care for people they hold no lineage to. Effectively, they desire for their people to kill itself off so that something else assimilates the remains.
The general feeling would be one of "change is always for the better, and we don't like how things are so we want to force change to our liking"
Nevermind that these people barely understand how to quantize their theories, make up facts based on cherry picking sections of supportive studies, and generally have a feeling of self important righteousness which cannot be wrong.
Never mind that these types of people have been proven to conspire, and that their testing methodologies cannot be trusted
Never mind that very, very few works actually pass any sort of review standards for research.
Never mind that from the GamerGate scandal more and more information is being discovered which shows the rampant corruption within these people, groups, and societies.
tl;dr OP is real and SJW/radfems have a broken survival instinct.

Leszek Kolakowski - Main Currents of Marxism, vol III
José Guilherme Merquior - Western Marxism
Paul Gottfried - The Strange Death of Marxism
Roger Scruton - Thinkers of the New Left
Basic bibliography to understand what Cultural Marxism is (though they never use that name).
Basically, it can means two things. The first is the use of Marxism as a culture, a "philosophy of praxis" in the word of Antonio Gramsci, instead of a rigorous aparatus of social analysis as it was understood by early Marxists like Karl Kautsky. That means that Marxism becomes a culture that unifies the working-class (actually, it's just the intelligentsia).
The second meaning, which is what we actually mean when we talk about Cultural Marxism, is related to the first, but more insidious. It means basically using the praxis of Marxism as a tool of critical analysis to attack the superstructure of capitalist society. They began that when they realized that the revolution wasn't going to happen alone, as they expected, when the Second International collapsed at the beginning of World War I, the Marxists saw that their greatest enemy was not the capitalist class (the capitalist class could be easily coopted, see Jacob Schiff or George Soros), but Western culture itself.

Prediction of Continent of Origin using randomly selected SNPs
One of the arguments of those who deny the existence of biological races is that their reality is subjective. Some extremists have argued that race is totally socially constructed; this is, however, disproven by the fact that socially constructed race is correlated with physical characteristics. Thus, rather than being separated from biology, the social phenomenon of race is rooted in biology.
A different argument holds that race is correlated with biology, but the differences are "skin-deep", i.e., involve only superficial, visible, (and by some strange logic unimportant) characteristics. According to the proponents of this view, the idea of biological race places an undue emphasis on a set of traits: it is a result of the subjective choice of a set of traits as race-defining. Thus, the commonly recognized races of traditional physical anthropology are discounted as subjective organizations of the biological data: we could just as simply speak of a "lactose-intolerant race" according to this view.
In forensic science and admixture analysis scientists often discover and use polymorphisms which exhibit large inter-population differences. Decoding DNA isn't free, thus, it makes sense to use the most informative, most "biased" markers when one is trying to discover the origin of a biological sample. For example, if Africans have 55% of gene version A and 45% of gene version B, and Europeans have 53% of A and 47% of B, it makes little sense to type this particular gene, since it cannot really tell us whether a sample is European or African. A gene where Africans have 90% of A while Europeans have 5%of A would be much more useful. Race skeptics claim, as with the physical anthropological data, that to privilege such carefully chosen genes is to stress the differences between groups; the implication is that in randomly chosen genes these differences are minor.
>>35501218
im familiar with those texts, dont really like foucault, and still believe that outside the bullshit context of representative liberal democracy run by a spectacle that encourages obedient behavior people would obviously exhibit different behavior
>>35501444
The new paper is one of many (you can click on the Clusters label to find more) recent papers that have discovered that no matter what genetic markers you choose: SNPs, STRs, no matter how you choose them: randomly or based on their "informativeness", it is relatively easy to classify DNA into the correct continental origin. Depending on the marker types (e.g., indel vs. microsatellite), and their informativeness (roughly the distribution differences between populations), one may require more or less markers to achieve a high degree of accuracy. But, the conclusion is the same: after a certain number of markers, you always succeed in classifying individuals according to continental origin.
Thus, the emergent pattern of variation is not at all subjectively constructed: it does not deal specifically with visible traits (randomly chosen markers could influence any trait, or none at all), nor does it privilege markers exhibiting large population differences. The structuring of humanity into more or less disjoint groups is not a subjective choice: it emerges naturally from the genomic composition of humans, irrespective of how you study this composition. Rather than proving that race is skin-deep, non-existent, or unimportant, modern genetic science is both proving that it is in fact existent, but also sets the foundation for the study of its true importance.

how does the ability to trace people to a continent of origin constitute different races of humans? Darwin actually argued that "if we used the techniques that naturalists used to identify race in nonhuman species, we would conclude that there really were no races in anatomically modern humans"
I don't understand how people can deny race when it's so obvious that it exists.
1. They clearly look different and you can easily identify what race a person belongs too just by looking at them.
2. If you're ever actually around them, you can see they behave differently too, and that you can't expect the same of them as people of other races.
3. Children always look like their parents and often have the same dispositions as them. Obviously these characteristics are inheritable and not just some "social construct".
4. If you can be bothered to look things up and read the material presented on race by BOTH SIDES, there is a scientific basis for race and an emotional basis for race denial.
Yet for some reason all over the Internet their are people who flat out deny race, refuse to read anything that contradicts what they believe, deem anyone who acknowledges differences "racist" (unless it's a non-white and especially a non-white comedian, as apparently they can't be racist) and hateful.
As for having pride in your race, I don't see why people are so against it. Isn't it healthy to not be a masochistic depressed fuck and to feel good about yourself and the group you belong too? Is not guilt for things you personally do not care about just plain stupid? I can understand having pride in yourself, a child, maybe your parents, the group (your race / nationality / ethnicity), your culture, your civilization, etc. What would you feel guilty about though and why? If anything the only thing to feel guilty about the group is the people who betrayed it, who set it back, and who otherwise made life shitty for you. Yet this is not guilt; this is more like shame or condescension.

Racial Pride Makes People Healthier & Happier, Studies find
Adolescents with positive feelings toward their ethnic group say they are happier on a daily basis than those who have a more negative attitude about their ethnic identity. The study, involving 415 ninth-graders from Chinese and Mexican backgrounds, shows the protective effects of ethnic identity on daily psychological well-being.
''The researchers focused on adolescents because that is when identity issues are at the forefront. Kiang said the positive effects of ethnic pride found in this study could suggest that parents and society in general should encourage strong ethnic identity in families.''

''In popular articles that play down the genetic differences among human populations, it is often stated that about 85% of the total genetic variation is due to individual differences within populations and only 15% to differences between populations or ethnic groups. It has therefore been proposed that the division of Homo sapiens into these groups is not justified by the genetic data. This conclusion, due to R.C. Lewontin in 1972, is unwarranted because the argument ignores the fact that most of the information that distinguishes populations is hidden in the correlation structure of the data and not simply in the variation of the individual factors. The underlying logic, which was discussed in the early years of the last century, is here discussed using a simple genetic example.''

Cultural Marxism does not mean Communism. What it means is persuading a society, through the slow infiltration of Academia, Banking, Media, and politics to turn its back on the formula that made it what it successful and self determined.
Modern liberalism and, to an extent, the policies of the democratic party as it is today, is very much so a product of the "long march through the institutions" that is required to implement cultural Marxism.
Just because what you believe in the political and economic spectrum doesn't perfectly line up with cultural Marxism doesn't mean that a lot of what you currently believe is a product or stepping stone of cultural Marxism.

Lewontin's Fallacy
An argument is that there is more variation within races than between them, therefore race does not exist. This is known as Lewontin's fallacy and it is fallacious because it:
>"ignores the fact that most of the information that distinguishes populations is hidden in the correlation structure of the data and not simply in the variation of the individual factors"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12879450
Another false argument is that human populations have not been separated long enough to be considered different races, yet one study listed 11 other mammal species with major phylogroups that diverged around the same time the human races did:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1689361/
It is a statistical fallacy which works by ignoring correlations or combined effects. Genes vary much more within than between human populations only if we look at one gene at a time. The pattern reverses if we aggregate variation at several gene loci. The more we aggregate, the more the genetic variation will exist between populations and not within them.
This point was first made by Cavalli-Sforza back in 1966 and later by Mitton (1977, 1978), Edwards (2003), and Sesardic (2010).
Steve Hsu, who has recently been involved at the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI), also explains this here:
>"No scientific basis for race"
>"It's just a social construction" - a picture is worth a million words…
http://infoproc.bl0gspot.co.uk/2008/01/no-scientific-basis-for-race.html
>One thing commenters seem particularly confused about is the difference between phenotypic and genetic variation. The clustering data show very clearly that, in certain subspaces, the genetic variation within a particular population cluster is less than between clusters. That is, the genetic "distance" between two individuals within a cluster is typically much less than the distance between clusters.
>>35502218
got me
>>35502271
(continued)
Technical comment:
>This depends on the number of loci or markers used. As the number gets large the distance between clusters becomes much larger than the individual cluster radius. For continental clusters, if hundreds or thousands of markers are used the intercluster distance dominates the intracluster size.
Further technical comment:
>You may have read the misleading statistic, spread by the intellectually dishonest Lewontin, that 85% percent of all human genetic variation occurs within groups and only 15% between groups. The statistic is true, but what is often falsely claimed is that this breakup of variances (larger within group than between group) prevents any meaningful genetic classification of populations. This false conclusion neglects the correlations in the genetic data that are revealed in a cluster analysis. See here for a simple example which shows that there can be dramatic group differences in phenotypes even if every version of every gene is found in two groups - as long as the frequency or probability distributions are distinct. Sadly, understanding this point requires just enough mathematical ability that it has eluded all but a small number of experts.

Some interesting points from this study:

>2) Genetic distances between population clusters are roughly as follows: the distance between two neighboring western European populations is of order one in units of standard deviations and the distance to the Russian cluster is several times larger than that - say, 3 or 4. From HapMap data, the distance from Russian to Chinese and Japanese clusters is about 18, and the distance of southern Europeans to the Nigerian cluster is about 19. The chance of mis-identifying a European as an African or E. Asian is exponentially small (Table 5):

i mean the arguments for biological race here just havent been convincing. and the cultural marxist shit is hilariously ill informed conspiracy nonsense. you literally think "communism? stalin" and dont see how ridiculous that is
>>35501750
Very much agreed.
Thanks for reading my post, Anon. I was starting to think I was the only one who made that connection
>>35502218
That's exactly what it is and you'd fucking know that if you were old enough to know about the fucking events that happened back in 1968 ALL AROUND THE WORLD and how badly society changed forever after it. These idiots with their idiot government got into society and all the top levels of government and it was all revealed to be TRUE when the Venona Papers came out. It proved everything true and the worst part is those shitty marxists in all the institutions ARE STILL THERE. The end goal is the fucking same, the collapse of western society so you can have your insanity that never came like Marx said it would with the collapse of capitalism.
This issue, as with most others, is connected to the problem of the needs of the many vs. the needs of the individual.
We often go on and on in circles regarding this, but I think it can be solved if we restated the problem: short term needs vs. long term needs.
In the short term, an individual can have radically different needs from the majority. But the longer the time period you focus on, the more the needs of all converge.
This is the biggest problem with society as it stands. Not that capitalism is bad. Not that companies or even government is bad. But that people aren't taught to think more long term about things.
Seems devilishly simple. But I'm serious. Start a cause and effect chart of every societal problem you can think, and try to do it without bias. You'll likely arrive at more or less what I just said.
>>35502498
It was a joke.
The biological race arguments have been providing quantifiable evidence to support race being real
you're still full of shit.
>>35502153
>the case for race and gender essentialism isnt very strong here
Let's see you respond to the evidence, then.
>most of you have fallen into this hilarious cultural marxist conservative glenn beck conspiracy
Historical fact is just a ding dang dirty conspiracy theory now?
Also, Glenn Beck and his fellow "conservatives" are nothing but racial cuckolds and economy-worshipers.
>>35502207
Marxism as a rigorous method of studying history and society through the analysis of it's material production and class relationships died with the Second International. Louis Althusser built his entire career pretending that it wasn't so.
But Marxism as a philosophical culture that unites radical intelligentsia into a single political culture is very succesful.
Even guys like Derrida, whose philosophy was ultimately anti-Marxist, felt the need to pay lip service to Marx to keep his revolutionary street cred.
im fuckin going home
>>35502498
You've officially lost. No one who has a valid side to an argument attacks the character of their opponent.
Biological race absolutely exists, from DNA to phenotype, someone with an anthropology or genetics education can identify race extremely easily given a skeleton or genome respectively.
Liberalism is the opposite of intellectualism.
Can any cultural marxist prove we are all equal?
>>35496195
>gender is a construct
Sex isn't. Whether a man produces estrogen is irrelevant, since sex hormones are not the defining features of one's sex or gender.
And your argument on the second part would have been much more effective if you hadn't used the bullshit Ferguson example.
>>35496195
Answer to picture: Bad things happen to good people. It is the nature of how our world works. Yes, there were people of genius-level intelligence that have lived unremarkable lives, statistically speaking. You cannot hope to liberate or save everyone, so the argument is in itself naive and childish, and to somehow push aside the intelligence of an accomplished scientist because some smart people are suffering is just plain idiocy on your friend, Stephen Jay Gould's part.
Answer to point 1: You are basically trying to disprove the alpha/beta dichotomy based on insecurity, which is a very weak premise in itself. It is as basic and juvenile as psych-analysis gets. Calling somebody a beta male does not automatically mean that person adheres to what you consider as "stereotypical" alpha male behavior, which is the straw man you put up. No one cares about your embarrassment because I'm sure they feel more embarrassment simply being in your presence. The behavior of men has evolutionary significance, which you fail to address, so weak men are held in contempt because it is not the evolutionary role of a man to be weak. Similarly, gay men are held in contempt because it is the evolutionary role of a man to reproduce. Men produce testosterone in far higher proportions than they produce estrogen, you imbecile. Your point is highly irrelevant.
Answer to point 2: There is a mountain of statistical and scientific evidence that notes the differences between races, including differences in intelligence. Because actual scientists conduct this research, some studies account for differences in socio-economic status and culture to produce conclusive findings, which indicate that some races are, on average, less intelligent than others. This is of course, supported by all manner of anecdotal evidence as well. Everything else you said is completely irrelevant.

Eh I'm still not sure about him, the other night I heard a segment where he had a guest on and they were talking about what it means to be a leader and have purpose within an organization.
Good stuff, and felt far removed from some of his "zanier" commentary.
>>35502559
Poster you replied to here. Yep. It blows my mind that Americans are unaware of the gross long term subversion taking place.
For anyone who thinks is all BS, read about it. The plan takes at least 2-3 generations (average age of reproduction in the US is ~25) so 50-75 years from the implementation of the plan for it to work properly. Just because it's too slow to see, doesn't mean it isn't happening.
>>35502153
The irony and hypocrisy of your post your incredible. Fucking listen to yourself. You promote shitty identity politics and crying about the evil white man while trouting Marxist ideologies that Marx never advocated to begin with. You refuse to reflect on the fact gender is extremely established in science without question unless you think X and Y chromosomes along with sexual dimorphism are a social construct too which proves you're utterly insane. You say race doesn't exist when it so clearly does and cry multitudes of mental gymnastics when people present evidence and keep moving the goalposts. Finally, you're so utterly retarded you can't even capitalise your sentences properly. Nothing you said has been truth. NOTHING. And while you cry wearing your tinfoil hat about the white conspiracy, Obama and especially Eric Holder do nothing but racist anti-white bullshit. If your bullshit was even remotely true, we wouldn't hear a damn thing about this and it'd be just a clear cut case of whites always win but whites don't always win and the media bias along with governmental biases proves this. The niggers case all their own problems and just like 2pac said "And they say it's the white man I should fear. But, it's my own kind doin' all the killin' here". Niggers and you leftards need to fucking self reflect damn hard.
>>35502717
the biggest fallacy in this thread has been race biological essentialists arguing that the existence of genetic trait clusters validates the literal existence of biological races as have been defined throughout history. human beings are not racially different, even if there are genetic clusters, because race was never about that to begin with. race is supposed to be an inherent subcategory, like a breed...that just doesnt exist.

>>35502797
>There is a mountain of statistical and scientific evidence that notes the differences between races
If you know more than the people educated and trained in this regard then you know more.
The alpha/beta is stuff for children. Discussing it is meaningless.
>>35502963
That is absolutely incorrect. The genetic delta between many races, especially between Eurasian and sub Saharan African is greater than between many species. If you're saying that race doesn't exist in that we ought to be classified as different species, then that would be somewhat more honest and correct. But to say there isn't a genetic delta or phenotype delta great enough to subdivide the human species into races or breeds is absolutely 100% incorrect.

sure a couple hundred years ago a factory worker could read in their spare time and maybe invent a new gear or something but inventions today take years of education and cooperation with likeminded individuals

This
Tried that all shitty libtard and leftard arguments all amount to whining about some shitty faux news bullshit even though /pol/ generally fucking hates MSM and especially Murdoch media and his kike shilling. Beck is among the worst of all too, "MUH ISRAEL" constantly.
But back to the whole thing, the denial of race is one thing but fucking GENDER? How the fuck do you deny gender, it's so deeply rooted in science, I just don't even... What the fuck.

Very cogent and well reasoned argument. I'm being drop.dead.serious here. It's like the Ray Rice situation. You can hear it explained a million times but seeing it just somehow much more visceral. You can tell on an emotional level.

Hardly an attack on character.
>>35503387
>I asked for proof we are equal.
You're statement is incomplete. Equal with regards to what. No one is equal in the context I think you're trying to use the word. Siblings are not of equal intelligence, charisma, beauty, tenacity, blind luck, etc. NO one has ever suggested what you are implying. What decisions are you gonna make based on a fact taht everyone knows.
>>35503426
Do you even know what social construct means?
People have been using race as a factor in medical treatments for over half a century, that doesn't change the fact that 99% of the discussion surrounding race has zero basis in science.
If racists were to stick to science in their racism noone would have a problem. Instead racists start with their feelings and then try to pick and choose science that confirms their desired beliefs while ignoring the overwhelming mountains of evidence that show intra racial phenotypic variance massively dwarfs interracial variance.
>>35503459
they weren't. but when you challenge a white supremacist's views he FEELS like its a character attack because of the victim complex. IMAGINE being amongst the most powerful social group in history and still playing victim.
>>35503459
>hilariously ill informed conspiracy nonsense
So calling someone humorously ignorant and possibly paranoid while providing nothing to explain why except for merely stating it's ridiculous isn't a character attack.
I'll put it simply. You didn't address the argument, you addressed the poster and mocked it.
You know, I wonder how that stupid revleft Finn commie that regularly shills on /pol/ would feel about OP. His stupid identity politics bullshit instead of the actual marxism.

basically the post speaks little to the means or goals of the whole conspiracy. it just says its attacking the capitalist superstructure by critiquing western culture. and falsely claiming that commies want to coopt liberal rich people? but seriously is this what you think the plan is? why would anyone do that to reach fucking communism? and again, lets see real proof not an array of communist thinkers who happen to influence identity politics or something. Burden of proof is on you nutcase

I'm reminded of a few certain factory workers who eventually learned their factory's tools and machines even processes (before assembly line Ford) inside and out, improved them and then went on to become some of the most successful people ever.
Your shitty appeals to emotion proves you never suffered any actual hardship yourself or are too stupid to know how to better a shitty situation. Throughout history you see all these bottom dwelling nobodies suddenly becoming top dog because they did figured out something revolutionary. There's a reason adversity makes you stronger is a saying.

Read it. 1958. Dr. Cleon Skousen wrote the 45 goals of Communism. It's practically an outline. Read that and tell me it doesn't fit. I'm not going to sit here and teach you, but I will point you in the right direction.
>>35504192
im a fucking communist i dont need to read the goals of communism. youve blatantly failed to articulate why this cultural marxism isnt your confirmation bias of seeing MARXISM everywhere. Like i would love to see the fall of capitalism and changes to western culture but trust me when i say radical politics just isnt fucking talking about the stuff you think we are, ANYWHERE.
You've been had /pol/.
This is probably the same guy who makes these threads all the time.
Notice how he purposely guided you, giving you easy targets to attack. Lewtonin's fallacy, Gould, all the typical idenity politics shit along with the commie flag.
We had a thread about two week ago where some shill who did the exact same thing with the race bullshit admitted (or perhaps someone else pretended to) purposely make these threads to bring out /pol/'s best arguments.
This faggot thinks he's "training" /pol/ with his stupid dipshittery.
Notice how we have the same format threads almost constantly about race realism, and the OP always opines the same generic points that have been addressed in previous threads. This shit has been clockwork since a few weeks ago, even before the JLaw newfag shit.
The same shit, day in and out. Fucking hate fags who try to turn /pol/ into some great machine. It's unnatural and this board should remain unnatural.
>>35503768
Because communism FAILED when Marx was wrong about the collapse of capitalism along with the failure of the revolution that happened all around the world in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_of_1968
And of course nobody joined them because society back then was deeply conservative white male and it was successful as fuck relative to the Soviet world, most than anyone else even.
So they needed a new way to force their shitty socialism -> communism scheme and began to focus on things like shitty identity politics like OP instead of the actual original intent that was classical marxism by intentionally destabilizing and subverting ideologically the west to support batshit absolute egalitarianism and then destroy the west in favour of their shitty ideology.
>>35503621
Why have equal social standards and equal legal protection if people are demonstrably unequal based on sexual and racial lines?
>>35504109
I agree. Our society is so hateful and intolerant. It's too bad we don't throw ignorant, bigoted fucks in prison for the rest of their lives.
>>35504473
why have oppression of inferiors if the inferiority is natural? why codify inequality into the law unless you know deep down your superiority is artificial?
>>35504454
right. marx was the only communist and communism failed when capitalism didnt immidiately collapse in the 1800s. oh, and the quality of a theory is determined by whether people are ready to revolt in 1968. and the soviet union is an accurate represenation of communism.
OH SHIT NONE OF THAT IS TRUE SORRY PAL
>>35504396
I think you've reached the limit of your intelligence on this matter. In no place was it stated that cultural Marxism is everywhere. It was stated that western culture is being actively subverted by cultural Marxism through a long game. It was stated that whether or not you are a communist doesn't mean you have to fall lock step with the published material advocating cultural Marxism or communism. Nor does it say that in order to promote what could is defined as cultural Marxism does one have to be a communist.
The fact is the current formula for society in the west is already so far removed from the formula that made it successful, that looking at the advocating of western society to change from its current state by turning its back on its current formula in isolate won't ever look like subversion through long game cultural Marxism.
Also, don't assume that people are assuming what you are talking about in your little groups, most don't care.
>>35504473
>Why have equal social standards and equal legal protection if people are demonstrably unequal based on sexual and racial lines?
Ending with those two criteria is rather arbitrary. No two person is of equal ability. We can stratify further. The best looking, the tall, the more intelligent, the more tenacious, the more healthy could all be considered as well.
>>35504623
this is an excellent argument and I wish I had made it.
The Culture of Critique is an amazing book but don't forget there's something more behind all this.
The sad thing is the stupid "marxist" kids of today who deny this most likely didn't even bother learning anything about their ideology's extension. Do they even fucking know the source of why most modern marxists support identity politics? But it's not marxism anymore, this is about so much more the whole of society that doesn't work. We're seeing everywhere how utterly disastrous the effects of it are. The riots and murders of multiculturalism, the destruction of family, a very utterly absolutely insane faith based belief in absolute egalitarianism to the point they'd deny gender, etc. I don't know whether we should call them misguided youth or total nutbags.
>>35504702
the formula that made it successful? why is anyone trying to derail that sucess? what is that formula? Why in the fuck is this even a sucessful society in your eyes? colonialism is good apparently? so much ridiculous bullshit in this idea i cant even start.
>>35504035
I never actually spoke of a conspiracy.
The reasons for the success of communism are on the very mentality of it's followers. Something that Dostoyevsky and Camus talked about, the "Revolutionary mentality".
Basically, the revolutionary, influenced by Hegelian dialectics sees history as a teleological reaching for an "Absolute". The nature of this absolute end of history varies according to the revolutionary ideology, for feminism is gender equality, for communists is the stateless society, etc, but the mentality is the same. We have a glorious future waiting for us and society must be organized in order to conform to it. Human beings are merely machines gearing this project, holding no real value at all except as long as they contribute to the revolutionary ideal.
Of course, this mentality is older than Hegel, he merely gave theoretical basis for a mentality that exists since the millenarian rebels of the Middle Ages, at least (read Norman Cohn: The Pursuit of Millenium).
Now, if you believe that human beings are merely means to an end, the logical result is that you will want to manipulate them, this is a obvious result of Hegelian/Marxist dialectics and gives rise to the political movements of communism, which are a very specific intellectual movement aimed at removing all independent sources of power in society and concentrating them at the hands of the intelligentsia (yeah, the working class are merely cannon-fodder, their "revolutionary consciousness must come from somewhere else than their little heads).
>>35504834
most communists today are anarchists who use some marxist theory in their analysis. fuck the family unit, i love riots, and fuck gender.
>>35504623
We don't have to do either. Abolish the laws, true marxism is anarchist, after all. See how "equal" they truly are in its purest form, without any artificial equalities and social programs.
>>35504623
That's interesting. What does that notion mean for things like affirmative action or living subsidies for minorities along racial lines?
Do those minorities deserve extra money and better access to job positions because they're superior or inferior?
>>35504933
Seriously? trying to remove oppression within our communities is fucking manipulative? thats your argument? the only people ive seen take abuse in a community seriously have been anarchists. your nuts mate, and im not a friggin leninist so chill with the vanguard shit. again, the current social order is built on manipulation and most social relationships are as well, only in radical politics are there genuine efforts to treat each other with real value. you have it reversed.
>>35499630
If white people can engineer tests that white people do better on, without any specific white only cultural references in the test, doesn't that prove whites and blacks think differently and have different brains even if one is not less intelligent?
>>35504993
it is easier for a poor white guy to succeed in a biased society than a poor black guy. hence affirmative action. ideally we would not need it because we would actually destroy white supremacy but until then...youre going to deny centuries of slavery still matter today? Segregation still exists. Just admit you want power over other 'races' its whats really happening here
>>35504993
>affirmative action
The argument for affirmative action is two fold. One, it seeks to correct a wrong that was done in the past - segregation/discrimination. Two, it seeks to add new perspective to the educational environment. A black person brings a different way of seeing thing than a white person (those two races need not be involved). This is what some mockingly refer to as cultural enrichment.
>>35504846
Who said anything about colonialism? Too bad you can't start. Because I can. I can go on and on. My suspicion has been confirmed. You are either out of knowledge or out of intelligence. Either way, you're done. Like you said, you can't even start.
>>35505118
segregation and discrimination are not in the past
segregation: 75 percent of whites have no black people on social media for example
>>35505099
But it's still hard for a poor white guy to succeed, when you give black people benefits and don't give white people any then it is harder for the white people to succeed... Yet they still do
>>35505099
How do you reconcile that correcting the bias that a black person may or may not have faced disadvantages a white person who had no role in the aforementioned wrong?
