AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVE DEFINITIVELY THAT RIGHT WING BELIEFS ARE HEAVILY CORRELATED WITH LOW INTELLIGENCE:
Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes: Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low Intergroup Contact
Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice
Study links low intelligence with right-wing beliefs
Right-wing ideology and numeracy: A perception of greater ability, but poorer performance
Conservatism and cognitive ability
Intelligent people are more likely to be left-wing, says science
People with lower emotional intelligence are more likely to hold right-wing views, study finds

The Arab Numerals joke is old. I heard this over two decades ago in the wake of 9/11 and I’m sure it’s not the first iteration.
It’s funny because the anti muslims are ignorant of the contributions muslims made to society and language, and are unaware those are the numerals we use.
It’s funny because we keep pointing it out, and every fucking individual conservative shitslinger has had this lesson multiple times, and it never seems to stick.
I know, it’s getting dumber too. A lot dumber.
Many of their influencers, it’s not that they don’t know, they don’t care. They are playing the sheep, and they’ve been taught from their influencers and leaders how to do it, and truth plays little to no part in any of it.
I think you meant to say IX/XI.
Yeah, it’s old, and yet it still works on those idiots.
Same goes for the old dihydrogen oxide one.
The dihydrogen monoxide one was traditionally, in my experience, a conservative joke to make fun of the do gooders that wanted to not have toxic chemicals in the air, water, food, etc.
Going way way back to the 90s and before.
One of my favourite conspiracies is that academic spaces are overwhelmingly left-leaning.
There’s a reason the right is constantly seeking to make schools worse and good education harder to access.
It’s actually something that has been done pretty much by anyone in power in the past who was trying to consolidate their position without actually giving the people what they want.
Hitler’s regime started by rounding up scientists and scholars purely to make sure nobody got any ideas that were detrimental to his power.
It’s just sad that the voters for (extremist) right people don’t see that the endgame is just for a select group, not for all, and they see themselves as part of that select group whilst they’re actually part of the other.
So MAGA folk think they’re part of that elite group that will benefit from right wing dismantling of social programs and not part of poor immigrants whilst they’re actually economically closer to those poor immigrants. Not just America, though, Germany is going in that direction as well right now and in Europe more and more of these voices are being heard.
Yup, a CERTAIN JACKASS in Cambodia did the exact same. Killed people just because they wore glasses which was a sign of dangerous intellectualism.
Yet tankies will still glaze pol pot for some reason…
Show your work.
That’s such a stupid response. As if I’m going to dig through old comments looking for the places where it happened? This isn’t a court of law, and it don’t have to present evidence to you. Especially if you’d just going to sealion about it even if I do.
And for the interactions that happened in person? How do you want me to prove those to you? Do you suggest I should carry around a device always on record and keep a record of every conversation I’ve ever had?
Everyone who’s interacted with a tankie knows glazing pol pot is exactly the kind of thing they do. Many have directly seen them do it. I don’t need to link specific examples for you.
Oh yeah, all that while he used glasses, had studies in both Cambodia and France, and overall was everything he hated.
Not uncommon. Imagine an idealized nazi arian, now look up a color photo of Adolf Hitler, ideally with him standing next to other people (who aren’t Mussolini, because that guy was even shorter).
Lmao, so true.
Theory: authoritarian ppl are like that because they have really big complexes.
The similarities between Pol Pot and Trump keep me up at night.
They don’t want competition, and they especially don’t want people that are immune to bullshit.
Even worse, they seem to be succeeding.
One of mine is that the truth (in a news/reporting/journalism respect) tends to always lean left.
I bet he’s not even talking about the real classical symbols but the new woke version!
Woke, if not even DEI!
I was honestly surprised when I visited Egypt for the first time and discovered they have different symbols for numbers in Arabic. Also, they look kind of the same as the one used with Latin alphabet, but there are some tricks like ٥ is 5 and ٦ is 6, so yeah … you have to learned them, you can’t just guess.
Jesus. What an idiot.
Best use of nickelback possible?
I made it myself!
I could not believe that I was the first
Please use it to piss off conservatives
You have not only my blessing, but an enthusiastic endorsement
Inspired work of art, FistingEnthusiast 👏 May you have many more.
I create a lot of art
My porn channel recently hit two million happy little perverts, and I have something in the vicinity of forty million views of my work
But this is still one of my favourite pieces
Well, it’s already on Facebook.
I’m torn…
But I hope that conservatives will be upset, and on that I will rest happily
They are.
I’m torn
/me looks at username…
I can’t believe you’d promote your porn channel but then wouldn’t add any links so I could make sure I’d avoid accidentally seeing that porn. What kind of a monster does that?
You can find my redgifs account on my profile easily enough
I don’t ever want someone to be exposed to something they might not want to see, so I don’t tend to put a link
My only regret about his death is that he got to die doing what he loved: deflecting questions about gun violence with racist dog whistles so overused they’ve become bullhorns
Honestly it was so fuckin poetic I can’t even be upset about it. Charlie wouldn’t either, because white people shootings don’t even count to him.
Chirk would have been proud to be shot in the neck at a school by someone who disagreed with him. He literally gave his life arguing for that right
Dear God. It’s real. Isn’t it?
well… it is real…
I thought she was talking about Polymarket posting this as a serious matter. Then I noticed who she is…
Years ago a German satire show interviewed random people on the street. They asked them what they think about the fact that “children are now forced to learn arabic numbers in German Schools”. The interviewers flawlessly baited a bunch of idiots into exposing their mindless xenophobia on TV
I would say it wouldn’t hurt but it’s like tossing a hot dog down a hallway; kids will just be more confused and retention will likely be zero; as in how many people are still able to even read cursive writing? Let’s see how this pans out, I guess?
but you know what Arabic numerals are, right?
Here is 1 of them :D
I thought it was referring to the old style ones? I mean I’m not against people learning those, just heh good luck remembering them if you don’t use them everyday. Kinda how I had I can only understand the french in clair obscur expedition 33 but oh boy don’t ask me to write anything in french now lol
The “old style” was Indian Numerals. We have always used and been taught the original style of Arabic Numerals in the modern world.
I see, thanks for clearing that up. Media really works hard to confuse you now. I thought there was no difference and then the Indian numerals came up and I honestly didn’t know what was the actual was going on at that point.
dont you mean roman numerals? so confused
Feel free to check the link I provided.
Everyday, Veep becomes more accurate.
Is kill for a legitimate 3rd option.
So all elementary school students to learn basic math.
Maybe that’s not so bad for Americans, they’ll finally stop producing people who can’t follow simple economic rules.
Mamdami is forcing children to participate in a heinous Islamic ritual called Al-gebra. It’s like, demonic spells or something.
Someone dumb enough to be concerned would definitely also think a basic equation looked like stygian summoners runes
And teaching them how to do Islamic ablutions, like using mouthwash and washing their hands. And showering! Heinous!
He probably uses Islamic inventions like H’ard So’ap and Bi-nominal functions!! SINCE WHEN DO NUMBERS NEED TO HAVE SEXUAL PREFERENCES?!
They even drink the Muslim Beverage C’off We!
nah, do the french ablutions
BIDETS FOR NEW YORK
Ah, they’d just pronounce it wrong. Buh-DAY, they’d say. No, it’s a nice idea but I don’t think it’ll flush.

That’s literal shariah you are preaching, you Afghan spy!

Ritual cleanliness? A properly bathed tush is a thing of I don’t know, have you tried going back to scraping it off with paper?
Now I feel like I gotta make a butt bath ritual

YOU THINK THAT’S A COINCIDENCE???
well now i don’t
They’re solving for X, which is slang for MDMA and also what porn is rated. Obviously they’re indoctrinating kids into child rape cults.
Wait, no, the child rape cult was Trump.
NO HE WAS UNDERCOVER TO EXPOSE THEM
I do not want the mental imagery of trump under the covers
Just doing shifts undercover in between breaks for fucking his daughter
Don’t laugh! As the Islamic Golden Age was pivoting towards religious extremism, algebra was labeled as sorcery and turned into a capital crime.
Don’t forget the practice of “Kâbit Al-isim.”

If these people are so dumb and easily manipulated, why dont you misinformation them to do the right thing?
