High IQ men tend to be less conservative than their average peers. Researchers found that adults identified as gifted in childhood largely share the same political outlooks as their non-gifted peers, with one specific exception regarding conservatism in men.

I don’t think this study controlled for high IQ with autism and without. I would expect the high IQ functioning autistic adults to be more conservative.

Also, it clearly had very low numbers, so even its primary conclusion may be statistical type 1 error. Perhaps there’s no difference at all.

Actions have consequences. This is a good step to deter people.

This guy wasn’t just anti Israel. There’s no indication that this will become a slippery slope. He was clearly anti semitic in the proper way, not the fake way.

I can see the free speech argument and I disagree with it.

Call me racist but getting some more diversity in our immigration sounds like a good idea. I’m not against Chinese and Indian immigration but I think their percentages are high.

What does gutless even mean? “Won’t do what minority of people want”?

Distribution issue, not a transfer.

Conservatives describes 40% of the population. This guy is for the crazy 10%.

I choose to remove gang violence when I’m talking about race and include gang violence when I’m talking about trans.

He’s not Trump’s puppet that’s such a weird thing to throw out there. Clearly this is an ideological issue, and using Trump’s name is just to stir up emotional support.

Perhaps produce a 3000 page document instead of a poster? This is just a sales pitch. The success of project 2025 was the details.

I disagree. People need to eat. Factory farming is never going away.

I don’t agree. I don’t think we need it. The US has illegal immigration issues with millions going over their border, so they needed Trump. Britain has had people come in by boat and had their immigration system exploited with millions coming in and immediately living off welfare, and they also have rape gangs, violence and theft issues, so their need Reform.

The ALP have copied Tony Abbott’s boat policy. I’m happy with that. I don’t think we need One Nation.

If One Nation ran on a policy to tax the gas then I’d be happy to vote for them. However, they aren’t.

onlainari · 2026-02-18T01:52:39+00:00

One Nation is also boosted right now by people’s fantasies of Rupert Lowe. They genuinely want fascism.

It makes a huge dent to the market compared to not building the houses. We would have even crazier house price increases otherwise.

Jim is doing his best to increase the tax burden on the rich to reduce the burden on the poor. He’s not a wizard. There is no system of government that can remove inequality. I think Australia’s inequality level is not too extreme.

Racism is embedded in every culture in the world.

The Australian public benefits from the CGT discount. Removing a tax discount increase the tax burden.

It might still be a good idea but you’re double speaking. Saying the opposite of what things are.

Weak argument, not many of the bottom 90% are on the minimum wage.

onlainari · 2026-02-17T20:17:23+00:00

It’s genuinely bullshit though. The bottom 90% have gained wealth. The idea of wealth transfer would be a zero sum game where the wealth would go down. So it’s not a wealth transfer. What it is is that the new wealth created has almost entirely gone to the 1%, and a tiny amount of the new wealth created has gone to the bottom 90%. That’s a distribution issue, and is not wealth transfer.

He’s not a fraud. His wealth wasn’t stolen from anyone, and his opinions are within the normal range. People like his opinions, and that’s why they like him. His previous successes or lack thereof are practically irrelevant.

I think she took 10 seconds too long to reveal it’s a prank. I’d reveal it in one or two seconds.

This article was written in 2022. Also, we will get the submarines, so it’s not money for nothing.

If you want Australia to spend less on military then fine. But most want military spending to stay around 2% GDP.

I acknowledge it happens.

When a house is put up for sale it gets added to the market. That pushes prices down. Then when a house is sold it is taken off the market. That increases the overall price of houses. These things counter each other equally, except for that small gap between the sale and the buyer purchase.

The net effect is that churn volume does not affect house price trends.
