He's also he guy who appeared alongside Jim Sterling and said how he supported Doxxing people if they insulted him in video games.

You know totally not a whole new level of toxicity.

Naw mate, he's just a huge Meshuggah fan and in that first tweet is doing the Meshuggah face. Just very poorly.


Anyway, don't particularly care about the dude, just wanted to say something about Meshuggah. Cuz they dope.

Bruh, all you have done is misrepresent the study. Do I need to start quoting the damn thing again?
I've misrepresented that actual data of the study?

If you could prove that, you would have presented empirical data already. But all you have is sophistry and we know why. Just because you can make shit up doesn't mean you should.


What on Bast's green earth are you talking about? Care to explain how the same study-- which involved asking people how they saw their own ability, and then comparing it to performance-- could be done with "random numbers"? You gonna ask the numbers how they view themselves?

This is just utter nonsense.



In case you've forgotten: you're arguing that random numbers trend to this "average". Not people.



So just blind reiteration of positions that have already been comprehensively refuted, with nothing new.

Yes. You have. And you're still trying to overrule the study and the definitions provided by that study, its author, and the psychological journals with pop-sci editorials mischaracterizing it.

Pop science editorials are really the best you've got? Next.

Gavin Newsom is not serious when it comes to reparations to the ancestors of slaves in America. His idea is not to collect taxes ahead of time and raise them via state taxes on X, Y, and Z. It's not to do it first through cities than the state and do it quietly. It's to make a giant spectacle out of it. That gives people who are an upper-middle-class time to leave for other states which are insane given the popularity of remote work today. How I would have done it is simple. Collect taxes ahead of time, and then ram through the bill as fast as possible. And pass the bill while it's after the 2024 elections.

You can't randomly collect taxes for something like this in secret. Secret taxes are not a thing

So what you actually mean is that another study was done using computer-generated data instead of human self-evaluation, and it went.... partway (though not fully) towards a similar-ish graph.

Not how laws work
Then hide it on page 2355 of the federal omnibus bill. Instead, Newsom's response is to paint a target on his state by the courts, and the California governorship, and if that fails people will leave his state for remote job positions elsewhere like in Austin.

Plus we have a conservative supreme court. My solution in previous posts was to stack the courts, it's fairly obvious the supreme court will vote this down like they will vote down the student loan forgiveness.

This is a non-serious effort by the democrats to pretend to care without actually passing it. If he really cared he would be stating in every press conference that he will
wants to stack the supreme court with extra judges.

I mean you'd think people would want one of the most prominent people pushing said ideology to you know actually believe said things he's saying not merely be doing it to try and get laid and for easy money from tools.
Why are those things mutually exclusive?

We don't hold right-wingers to these standards do we? We don't expect them to live some kind of ascetic existence to demonstrate their pure commitment to the cause. We never ask if they're just faking it to pander to an audience, we don't care if they're true believers or whether they're just in it for money or power.

I can see why it might be attractive to you to live in a world where only right-wingers are "allowed" to be successful, but I don't see why your comfort matters. Sure, Hassan is a millionaire, and he's probably in a position where he could slay mad puss if he felt like it, but it's not like you have any sincere objection to that, you're just jealous that someone you don't like is successful and you're not.

You're asking your political opponents to be more concerned with ideological purity than you are, and however dumb you might think it is to believe that Hassan is sincere, believing that your concern is sincere would be an order of magnitude more idiotic.

Utterly and absolutely on the money.

The media overwhelmingly give voice to the socioeconomic elites, and having a large media voice results in receiving a lot of money. The demand that the left cannot be rich, successful, fuck lots of people or generally have fun otherwise they are hypocrites is essentially just a right wing trick to destroy the voice of left wingers in the media.

But also generally they're not claiming to be the betters lol.

When you preach profit and capitalism it's a bit different to preaching socialism and the fair pay for workers while then not actually doing that for your own employees etc.

It's Hasan preaching about toxic masculinity etc while just doing all this to try and get laid easier thus being less genuine and more toxic than those he calls toxic.

Well thank you for telling me what I think.

Oh wait no because it's not what I think.

I'm just becoming rather fed up of fakeness, perfomativity and hypocrisy being outright rewarded to this degree just because the person is an aligning political side

Well, no. You're fed up of fakeness only when it aligns with one political side, which turns out to be the left.

In fact, you're so obsessed with pinning fakeness on the left, you'll happily push claims of fakeness when they're dubious, even outright fabricate them, or if it's a slow news day waffle on about the fakeness of some totally irrelevant random member of the public off Twitter. The right can be fake all over the place, and this forum sees nary a peep from you about any of it.

So if I respect your preference not to be told what you think, I can at least tell you that you very much come across as a right-wing stooge.

We do hold right-wingers to the same standards, but now you're starting to insert extra standards into the argument. The point was not "left wing people can't be rich and successful", the point was "this guy only went left wing political when a completely opposite fake persona wasn't making him money". You're ignoring the about-face. Like, Candace Owens and Tim Pool were both doing left-wing content with minimal success before 2016, then turned way to the right and made a bunch of money, there's a lot of the right-wing audience that doubts the sincerity there. Like, we have the term RINO specifically for politicians who don't have conservative beliefs and just want money and power. Yes, the right-wing wants to listen to authentic voices, and not just pandering.
