OK. On topic of anti-intellectualism.

I have noticed lately, that there is a consensus on both sides of the political divide, that there seem to be a HUGE problem with people refusing to reason. Anti-intellectualism seems to be the name of this trend.

Well, the problem isn't exactly with the people refusing to learn, as much as with people adopting completely different view on what tools of learning seems to be valid.

People on the left do believe in institutional construct of academic science. They LOVE posting names of old dudes who agreed with their current belief, as well as pointing to a definition, that was changed 1 week ago. When we raise to them the fact, that all of these institutions are bending the knee in fear of their wrath, I am not exactly surprised, that they see that as dishonest unprovable hypothesis. (So, no matter what scientific paper I bring, you will just say, that people making it were afraid to disagree with the mob? Ain't that convinient)

On the other hand, the right does LOVE to use the common logical shortcuts. Rules like "No medication can be called 100% safe and effective by definition" are not written in any science jurnal, but their application does lead to an ability to form a solid world view long before information can go through a peer review, and are also completely free of any need for an authority to confirm them. Yet, when we come to a leftie with a 6 step logical chain, they look at us as loonies, since not a single one of these steps is formalized in an academic style. (Do you have a paper, saying that castrating kids will lead to a worse luck in finding a life partner????)

So, that means, that maybe, the time for constructive debate might be completely over. We no longer live in the same world, and no way of communication can bridge these two worlds.

@LukeAlmighty scientific inquiry and logic are valid tools of learning, superstitions and conspiracy theories are not.

Rightoids don't bring scientific papers. I don't remember seeing any here, that despite contending a few times over whether race is a concept that exists.

Strawman, nobody thinks trans people have an easier time finding partners.

So, tell me. Were you too lazy to read my post, or did your head reach so deep up your ass, that you couldn't smell the premise correctly?

@LukeAlmighty I did read the post and I just described why it is wrong.
The premise that rightoids bring scientific papers that get rejected for frivolous reasons is bullshit.

@latein
I wrote, that the right does not care for some jew approved paperwork. So, thanks for confirming, that it was the 2nd option.

@LukeAlmighty So the left supports means of establishing knowledge, and the right cares for conspiracy theories.
Where's this "but they're just as anti-intellectual as us!" coming from? The source of the problem is obvious, hence why I went from chud to socialist.

@latein @LukeAlmighty Funny thing, I went from Normie to (National) Socialist myself lol. Here’s the thing , (((the left))) lies all of the fucking time, either by omission or whole sale, so we’re left to pick up the pieces, it’s a post truth world after all.

@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired @LukeAlmighty
Any concrete examples?
Also sounds like projection, this kind of stuff is daily here https://youtube.com/watch?v=ewXqB7g7t1A&t=3495

@latein @LukeAlmighty Unlike some frens of mine I don't keep an eye on (((media naratives))) I get all my info from Frens as they can parse it better lol. But a good example that you as a lefty might know is the Israel Palestine war, the (((media))) being owned and funded by jews downplays or ignores Israeli war crimes while overstating or outright making up Palestinian ones.

@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired @LukeAlmighty I believe the media is biased and garbage. That's not leftists tho unless the right wing is also culpible for their media and politicians.
Narratives widely held by the left which can be demonstrated to be built on lies are what I'd be interested in.
Right-wing equivalents would be "15 minute cities" hysteria and holocaust denial

@latein @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired
So, is that your "scientific opinion"? That as long as you can find an opinion more extreme on the other side, you can lie as blatantly as you want?

@LukeAlmighty @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired reading comprehension: 0

@latein @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired
Nah, you just cannot argue your own opinion in good faith.

If you cannot even confirm that lying about something as blatant as 100% safe and 100% effective undermined the trust in both political establishment and scientific community without immediately going "but muh holocaust", then you are not capable of arguing on principles. All you debate for is some stupid team sports.

@LukeAlmighty @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired
It is safe and effective, not 100% but only a salesman would say such a ridiculous thing, as not even water is 100% safe. But the vaccines are much safer than covid-19.

I never appealed to the holocaust only affirmed it happened and had it's denial as an example of a widely propagated lie I can blame the masses for propagating.
But if you'd misread my comment that way I take it you also think "15 minute cities" are not about pedestrianised cities, but rather are about a NWO control grid, in which case you are the type of loon that is immune to reason.
