The right wing to left wing ratio on this site seems to be pretty skewed and it'd be nice if it wasnt

In the 30 minutes or so that I've been on this site, checking out the top links on the front page, I've seen:

  • "Zionist conspiracy", "kikebags"
  • 9/11 was a Mossad job
  • COVID-19 is a Jewish hoax
  • Blatant racism
  • Blatant misogyny
  • Blatant transphobia (as in, hatred of trans people generally, not just confined to TRAs)
  • Articles from objectively laughable sites like GatewayPundit and TheWhiteHouseInsider being posted as inarguable truth
  • Pizzagate being posted as inarguable truth

Something tells me this isn't quite the high quality content that will draw massive amounts of readers in!

The one thing I will say about this site that is refreshing is that it encourages free speech AND generally adheres to the pyramid of debate. Just simply labeling something as "racsist" or "transphobic" isn't a card to play here.

Yeah, it's kinda like the Shawshank Redemption. You have to wade through lots of shit for freedom.

It's also possible that you've lived in echo chambers where any "wrongthink" is strictly banned and censored.

Less than 10% of experts think genes don't play a role in the difference in intelligence between populations.
Whites are more intelligent than blacks. This is both a scientific fact and scientific consensus.

Your previous echochamber bans any actual science because its "racist".

In an intellectual environment, you don't get any points for yelling "racism". If you want to feel superior to those stupid "sciencedeniers and conspiracy theorists" then I suggest you go back to reddit where you can share your deep insights into how everyone is magically biologically 100% completely the same and whatever else nonsense the leftist echochamber propagandamachine produces for the masses. If you decide to stay, then you will experience that most people here are quite nice, friendly and open to debate in good faith. Its a very different climate than the toxic atmosphere on reddit.

I suggest you stop making idiotic assumptions about what people think.

It is neither.

Your previous echochamber bans any actual science because its "racist".

Translation: "I think 'actual science' means stuff I google from provably garbage 'journals' that agrees with my preconceived opinions about black people. So when people disagree with me, that must mean they're wrong."

Fuck that ignorant, bigoted bullshit.

I hope for your sake you're still a child.

You're not creating a very friendly climate for debate and you're not offering any sources to your own claims. "It is neither" is not a great argument, it's just your preconceived opinion about black people; contratry to established scientific literature on the matter, which makes it both a preconceived and irrational opinion about black people.

Your opinion is a political opinion backed by a tiny fringe element of political activist experts but not accepted by the vast majority of research in this area for the past more than 100 years. On reddit you could spew these baseless claims as if it was gospel without getting any rebuttals because the mods would censor and ban anyone who dared speak up. Here you don't have this higher power of protection to help you out, so instead your comments and arguments will be challenged openly and for all to see and judge.

Also I'm an adult. Thanks for your concern.

This is the sort of stuff you used to only encounter when you got cornered by some bore in a pub who would be constantlyon the lookout for fresh victims to reel his conspiracy theories out to. That's the problem, the liberal middle classes used to just be able to shut a door on this stuff, never mix with such people and pretend to themselves they loved all humanity so they haven't formulated a good way of dealing with it. Now the accessibility of the internet means you can't get away from those guys and the instinct of liberals is then to try to shut a non existent door when that won't work anymore.

Personally I always tried to argue with the bore in the pub but I'm not sure that's the way forward either because they seemed to enjoy that even more than being believed. Maybe a lot of these people just want attention so maybe the other response is right, we just need more non-political content so people can work their shit out through different aspects of their lives than their identity. I know with people who deradicalise Islamic terrorists they manly just get them mixing with a wider range of people because many teens simply have no clue most other people have a the same problems, feelings and loves as them and identity is just an additional factor on top of shared human experience.

Yes, James Watson is just some bore in a pub. An alternative interpretation of your story is that those in power rely on certain political facts rather than scientific facts to remain in power. Those espousing heterodoxy are then punished by those in power and directed to saidit & the pub while the "liberal middle class sheep" believe the political facts and dismiss those "bore in a pub". But that would be crazytalk.

I didn't know James Watson railed against pizzagate on the internet.

TIL

He was cancel culture'd because he had said "blatant racism" (read: science).

I don't know much about pizzagate but from what I've seen it seems pretty much confirmed? Epstein and now maxwell in custody awaiting trial.
