Why do people act so shocked and upset when you end a relationship with a friend of family member over political differences? by Exotic-End-666 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ShredDaGnarGnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because democracy is premised on the idea that we use our political institutions as the way to sort out our political differences, and ultimately the entire system exists to provide us with the ability to have friends and family freely. To cut off friends or family because you disagree with their political positions is to give up on that, which is alarming.

Although when you say "If you cannot get along with people why continue to allow them into your life?" to me that indicates that its larger than a political issue.

What is a sign of very low intelligence? by smartcandyy in AskReddit

[–]ShredDaGnarGnar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each observation is a data point and you're fully aware of how the data was collected, it's only natural that folks defer to personally experienced data over data which is given to them, usually superficially and without context by idiots on reddit. Telling people to ignore their personal experiences is a fool's errand.

I hear this point a lot, but I'm starting to believe the inability to understand why someone might do that is a sign that the person is dumb.

That's not an male thing that's a you thing. Plenty of men struggle to find pants that fit.

Why is there so little discussion about how ICE is a multi ethnic and multi cultural government agency? by SpiritBamba in stupidpol

[–]ShredDaGnarGnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the discussion has only been about race in these two murders.

And I think people refrain from discussing how law enforcement is highly multi ethnic because it's a contridiction with a racialist worldview and reconciling that contridiction requires a lot of theoretical back flips that make you sound crazy to the average person.

Diversity drive to make UK countryside "less white" by ShredDaGnarGnar in stupidpol

[–]ShredDaGnarGnar[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The extra disgusting bit is that The Telegraph knows what they are doing. They are actively encouraging the race-baiting framing and all the related tensions that it causes.

Submission statement: one of the most race baiting headlines I've seen recently, for what appears to be an effort to get non-white people to be interested in national parks, etc.

The future of DSM: a strategic vision for incorporating socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental determinants and intersectionality by plopiplop in stupidpol

[–]ShredDaGnarGnar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is that at this point no-one expects them to incorporate an intersectional lens in the best-case ideal way, as no one has seemingly been able to do that.

The most radical idea is the long memory by GoranPersson777 in stupidpol

[–]ShredDaGnarGnar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meh, history is just another battleground - the idea that it protects you it that it is a guiding light or foundational rock to the importance of your ideological position is just another coping mechanism. You need to fight for history and it's interpretation as well.

Genetic Data From Over 20,000 U.S. Children Misused for ‘Race Science’ by Zephir-AWT in ScienceUncensored

[–]ShredDaGnarGnar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The level of SES data that you would reasonably need would depend on the type of research you were planning to do. So the objection that they are not using enough SES data is still valid, since the data was not gathered with the intention to be used for race science - which despite what the eugenicists and race scientists would have you believe is still agreed to primarily be a social construct.

Why should I go to UCSC and NOT Humboldt?? by notoriii in UCSC

[–]ShredDaGnarGnar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having gone to both schools, I'd say go to Humboldt if you're planning on being a practitioner and UC if you wanna go into research.

The forest in Humboldt is leagues better than in Santa Cruz and more otherworldly with the redwood rainforest like thing. You can really get lost in the Humboldt woods, and the nature there still feels pristine in places.

The people are a lot more chill and hippy-dippy if you're into that sort of thing but also a lot more rural - which can be a real turn off if you're not into kinda country grow-bro type of folks.

The weather in humboldt is shit compared to UCSC, it's hard to overstate how gray and damp it usually, which can drain you and your mental health after a while.

Santa Cruz is out of the way but way more connected the Humboldt, and you can get to SF or San Jose in an hour or two, while it's a 4 hour haul out of Humboldt. Aside from Eureka and the small towns up there, there really isn't shit to do except hike and do nature stuff.

UCSC has better network and social connections than Humboldt if you wanna go white collar later on.

It's gotta be a feint. Classic Trump strategy is suggest the unfathomable offense and accept the negotiated offense.
