Woke Leftists Argue that 2+2=5

It's very important to get your head around this so you know what we're up against. These people literally think 2+2=4 upholds "white supremacy". Surely we can convince normies that these people are insane? That it's a problem that these people are going to be teaching our kids?

Never underestimate the left. The stupidest reaction to this is the conservative one which is to smugly chuckle and laugh at this as another stupid, leftist piece of idiocy.

The wild part of it all is that at the end of the day the left is actually right. A society dominated by empiricism, non-relative standards for truth and hierarchy will be essentially fascistic. The left aren't fools and they know this which is why they do this type of thing. Mathematics is a beautiful and coherent system of logic. It's very masculine in its nature. It's no wonder that they seek to deconstruct it.

If people wrote down some of the things the left believes people in the future that reads it will think its fiction.
The lunatics are running the asylum

They're not lunatics though. They're mad geniuses. Mathematics is based on rules, order, harmony and transcendent and immutable laws and truths. It's antithetical to leftism hence they want to deconstruct it.

In a strange way I admire their madness. It's so effective.

Because behind their retarded opinions is a power structure that supports them. They're extremely stupid and retarded but they're not deplatformed or punished but rather rewarded for their stupidity by those in power.
There is nothing 'genius' about any of their ideas. It's also not effective. They simply hold power

Your argument is circular. Why aren't they deplatformed and punished? Why are they in power? Because they took power because they're so effective and they understand in a deeper way than most that there is something innately damaging to the leftist project within a system like mathematics.

It's not just an accident and we should learn from them -- not necessarily merely to emulate -- not just be idiots and scoff.

Leftists didn't get and aren't in power. You know who got into power and then they're promoting leftism to subvert and destroy our civilization.

The people who preach the financial interests of our enemy are in power. They can say their beliefs in public across mass media. We cannot. Your ego is so tied up in not giving any credit to leftists. The best thing you can do for the enemy is underestimate them.

[–]DragonerneJesus is white 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

They not in power because they say those things. They are in power because those in control promote those that say these things.

Leftists are not smart.

They didn't prove 2+2 = 5. They basically write the wrong mathematical expression and tell people they are wrong because they added a bunch of context that didn't exist in the equation. The expert math professor problem was not doing addition because he made the assumption that the period between one session to the next is considered an additional break. It is like those mathematical word problems about how many apples can you buy from a store with a certain amount of money. The assumption is you can't buy a fraction of an apple at the store so you must truncate the value of the apples to a whole number. This isn't a problem of math, it is that people that are not able to express real world problems using mathematical expressions either because of lack of ability or for brevity.

Correct - James Lindsay breaks it down here.

In tricking the woke leftists into arguing that 2 + 2 = 5, what he's done is expose their tactics for what they are. This is what they do with everything:

  • 2 + 2 = 5 (if you redefine 2, +, = and 5)
  • We live in a white supremacist system (if you redefine white, supremacist and system)
  • We live under an oppressive patriarchy (if you redefine oppressive and patriarchy)
  • Trans women are women (if you redefine women)
  • White people are privileged (if you redefine white and privileged)
  • Black people can't be racist (if you redefine black and racist)
  • Race doesn't exist (if you redefine race and exist)

The lesson is to stop arguing against them as though they are acting in good faith. They'll literally defend 2 + 2 = 5 if it's politically useful. Instead, organize with people who aren't like this.

We absolutely need to go around putting up '2+2=4' signs.

I thought it is ok to be white and all lives matter would be the final step.

Fuck All Lives.

Clown world in full effect. People with PhD's (i.e. supposedly philosophers = lovers of wisdom/truth) that apparently abhor truth statements.

You should have to pass a logic test to be awarded any degree.

Lmfao

I agree with Fuentes on one broad point: our division is NOT the result of cute little misunderstandings. This cannot be solved with LoGIc or DEbATe

The left is legitimately insane. Putting them in mental hospitals would be a kindness

TFW someone reads 1984 and identifies with O'Brien.

Reminds me of faggots and trannies, literally the whole world uses base 10 and agrees that 2+2=4. and nobody has issues with it, except few deranged individuals who hate norms.

[–]yesofcoursenaturally 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Surely we can convince normies that these people are insane?

Part of the reason the left keeps advancing is that conservatives and the right in general try to convince people by argument, reason, and evidence, while the left belittles people, screams, and shuns.

Which works on everyone, including most conservatives, which is why gay marriage and Lady MAGA are now core aspects of 2020 conservatism.

It's because conservatism is for FAGGOTS.

3p.

In a really abstract sense, it is true that both sides of an equation never equal zero, Szample, if you cut a piece of pie, crumbs fall off. To use that theoretical abstraction as a vehic.e ro assert that two plus two can equal five is jnsane....
