Society/Culture Why do less intelligent people gravitate towards fringe extremist views?

[Ghost Patrol]

This is why the left want free tertiary education. They are so clever that they want the right to pay.

So if paying for it was optional, the right would prefer to pay?

It's why the right want to restrict access to tertiary education - education reduces the propensity of simplistic right wing views.

Heartening to see Blair Cottrell debunking this theory and proving himself to be one of the deepest thinkers of our time.

"Science is a belief system, just like religion" is something I hear morons repeat often. Yes I do believe scientists and researchers, because they have to provide some proof to their claims.

It could be that the less intelligent with the little intelligence they do have gravitate towards people that actually care, it's either that or being a centrist lol!

Bang on.

And I say this as someone who isn't tertiary educated. Even I ******* get it!

Did you think of that all by yourself?

People with extremist views less able to do complex mental tasks, research suggests

Cambridge University team say their findings could be used to spot people at risk from radicalisation

What exactly is an extremist view?
Who gets to decide what an extremist view is and isn't?

Wanting to lower the age of consent is an extremist view.

Good questions.

Is wanting to increase the age of consent an extremist view?

You're arguing for a decrease in the age of consent.

So you probably view anyone who opposes that, as an extremist.

You might not understand what I'm trying to explain to you.
But there could be reasons for that.
Here is a good article.

I shared an opinion that I don't care about, and you/other similarly small minded people made it a big thing.

Typical nonsense from you. Why would I?

You might not understand what I'm trying to explain to you.

I understand everything you do and say, and much more.

But there could be reasons for that.

Thanks. You're performing as expected. Why are you so predictable?

You might not care about it... for... what ever legal reasons you have...

But consent is important.
It's been viewed as insignificant for most of history, but as we become less extreme and more educated, we understand that consent is valued from all walks of life.


It's required from women, black people. white people. other countries etc...



I understand that you'd be confused and angry with this...

You are scraping the barrel, but I'm not surprised.

I'm laughing. I feel you're not worthy of playing this game with me.

You don't want to engage with anyone over 12?

Too stupid.

 

[Gethelred]

Alright, that's enough.

CM86, evolved2, put your sabers down. We'll reconvene tomorrow and settle the matter over sherry and a friendly game of baccarat, but for now this is a ceasefire.

Sorry.

I shouldn't call for moderation in areas I know moderators are active.

 

[evolved2]

I'm gonna pull you apart after the sherry and baccarat tomorrow, CM86

Can't wait.

I hope you have some evidence to back up your claims that evolved2 is a pedophile

Do you think a pedophile would even want to lower the age of consent?

As in, I dont think consent is what they are after…..

The game is the least of your problems with the allegations put towards you in this thread
