Your thinking is too one-dimensional and simplistic. You should scrutinise your statements more rigorously and confirm that your conclusions are sensible, inevitable, contextually appropriate and universal before you settle on them. Take this for example:

I treat this as an oxymoron. Laziness is a trait of bad time management.

What could possibly lead you to conclude that all highly intelligent people are diligent or love school? I have met many brilliant people who were lazy. I have also met intelligent people who hated school. Not to mention that good time management is by no means inherent to high intelligence either. High intelligence is not always necessarily accompanied by the will and capacity to use it effectively. I suspect that you did well in school, liked it, and are now assuming that everyone who is intelligent must have the same experience. That which would be incorrect.

It's not about loving school. Hell, I hated most of mine growing up. But that hatred came from a place of indifference, rather than refusing to do assignments because I couldn't time manage them.

Think back to my original example of Black people propping up the exact same excuses but still end up failing. Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt without any real results to show for it leads to an unproductive society since everyone can make claims that "I'm smart, but I wont show you any proof of it!".

Unironically, I was closer to an average student. Like getting mid 70s in every class. In many scenarios, I could have retaken classes and gotten up to a high 80s or 90s average but I did choose to waste those hours playing video games after school.

And see? That's the point. The smarter you are, the more you actually take your own craft seriously, instead of trying to avoid it. I definitely wish I had a higher IQ so studying to become an Astronaut or Politician would never have felt like a boring career, when every second of it demands thinking on your feet at all times.

At best, I do consider myself smart enough to write these pseudo-thesis and post discussions on Debate Alt-right but lets be real. Even posting on a message board lacks the mental qualities of actual Alt-right leaders like Nick Fuentes or George Lincoln Rockwell, who are out there making a difference in the real world. If all they did was post on debate forums like us, there would be nobody to take seriously as a political activist since they would all be stuck indoors playing video games or smoking weed. And that's ok.

We need certain people in life who are mental workhorses and know how to reach audiences far larger than most of us here can. Nature literally gifted them with that talent, so they have to use it.
