I think the other thing is that there's an intellectual segregation that happens when you have immigrants as opposed to people who wind up in the country for other reasons. These people are either highly educated and highly motivated, or just straight up fucking rich. I'd suggest that the closer you are to being first/second generation in a country, the closer you are to being well off.

If you look at the difference between African Americans and African-Americans (who I'll just called black Americans now, because FUCK America for fucking up those terms) there's a huge difference in social ability. No one ever seems to split white people by race or generation, but I'd suspect you'd see the same difference in ability - the poor will be people who've lived in American for generations, the rich will more incline toward immigrants.

The exception is those obviously who do vanish into their little tiny communities. My relatives as African immigrants have remained in their communities within Australia but they have had a focus on education and success. Most have also married outside their race.

Say why? Is Aneris a protected species? They have had many good points and have (quite rightly) used the Pit as a sounding board for their opinions. Their challenge has always been to structure their arguments; sign posting, proposition, evidence.

This is one of those rare times that they have been embroiled in a pit argument. Let it play, there are no doubt lessons to be learnt all round. One of which is "who will be the first to flounce with tears because of words". The other is who will learn who to distil their argument / rebuttal down to key salient points that can be continually reiterated against possible misdirection.

I've heard that Chinese-speakers have an advantage in performing arithmetic in their heads, because their words for 1 thru 10 are all single syllable, making chains of numbers easier to remember.

German is notorious for being an unmusical language, with ponderous compound words & sentence structure. Which might affect the character of German discourse, for better or worse.

Around 2014, I once watched her become too enamored with her own over-intellectualized pet theory, and too hostile to civil criticisms-- then spew a smokescreen of Sokol-worthy gibberish to escape. The outburst lingered in my mind because I couldnt tell if it was intentionally-ridiculous lulz, or genuinely pig-headed.

I'm curious about that. Jordan Peterson's research on how Big 5 personality traits correlate to political opinions-- found a correlation between sjw policing of language + low language aptitude. Suggesting the people less-able to process language freely-- are the ones who want to 'fix' language by imposing dumb new rules.

I'm curious whether Aneris would test as high in language aptitude, being bilingual. Or low-- due to the opposing opinions being presented in English.
On the other hand English is also my third language, so I don't know how much this theory about Aneris holds water. Aneris seems to have very high English skills for someone who's not a native speaker.

Perhaps an exception to that rule would be recent muslim immigrants who also seem to resist integration and have many who end up on the bottom rungs of society. I think there are many parallels there.

On a different note... I had a conversation with a man at work (not one of my staff, but works for a member of my management team). He was concerned about how one senior female manager was always ribbed on at group meetings for her height, and all the other people particularly the guys would rip on her. I had to explain to him that all these managers had worked together for years and they had a kind of comradery where they would shit on each other and make jokes because they were very tight. They did this to the guys as well, but he'd only responded to it when it was on a woman.

I wonder if that's why people think there's sexism afoot all the time.

It's not just "good English" it's being able to understand the subtleties of English and conversational style - which is different from one English-speaking region to the next. We have a number of different types of English being written here tbh.

Here it's mostly the usual immigration, and some are successful and hardworking, but many are isolated, poor and rely on crime. But I was speaking also of the broader context of things in the UK and Europe, where it seems there are a lot of second-generation dispossessed Muslims.

Ah. The Muslims we know seem to be on the successful/hardworking side, but there are obviously massive ghetto shit situations. I remember Hitchens mentioning that women were the key to liberating a community. That's probably going to be a sticking point for the ghetto shit.

Everyday Feminism offers a course on "How to Heal from Toxic Whiteness":
https://compassionateactivism.leadpages ... ebsite-Ads
This starts with not running away from the racism that exists both within yourself and your communities. Instead, it means acknowledging it – and that is a painful process.

With our unique Compassionate Activism approach, you can learn how to hold that pain of racism in a way that's healing and comes from a place of love and justice.

That way, you become increasingly free to take action against white supremacy – from a sense of wholeness and shared humanity.
I don't have the cash to enroll just yet, but as soon as Kirbmarc and his Ottoman pals send me reparations for their enslavement of Europeans I may be able to.

CaptainFluffyBunny wrote:Much of the earlier disagreements may have been rooted in Aneris' not being a native speaker of English. Most if us have pounced on a point or two that may have bern a bridge too far and defended anyway. This seems different. The ad homs, the snide inferences and sloppy thinking are not characteristic of Aneris' usual posts. Perhaps this is something deeply personal or perhaps Aneris is having a Jesper moment.

In any case, it seems pointless to engage further. If allowing everybody freedom of speech labels me a nazi, so be it. I do want the spiffy uniform and boots, though. And a type XXI U-Boat.
For all that's worth I don't think Aneris is saying that allowing freedom of speech to everyone means you're a Nazi. Even though Aneris put me on ignore, which is funny since she hasn't put even Steerzo on ignore, I feel compelled to defend her on this specific part of the issue.
Well, "Kirbarky" (my recent comments on Islam still rankle? ;-) ), I'm glad to see that you're apparently being fair to Aneris, and I have to admit to being impressed with your general knowledge of various political movements and their intricacies - and I like your new avatar ("United we stand ...").

In addition, I think, as you suggest or argue, that Aneris seems to be "guilty" ("shame! shame!") of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, that she thinks that any consorting with "the enemy" puts one beyond the Pale. I am, of course and as you know, engaged on Twitter in throwing stones at Muslims and Islam in which I welcome the support of many Christians, many of whom are almost as bad as ISIS in their dogmatic literalism. And sometimes I'll take the opportunity to gently, or not, suggest the errors of their ways - which periodically costs me a follower.

But I think it's important to perform a cost-benefit analysis, to make common cause, at least where doing so isn't going to be antithetical to one's bedrock principles, and particularly where the principles of one's allies are less odious or problematic than those of one's foes. One might reasonably wonder whether Aneris, if she was in the position of Roosevelt or Churchill during WW2, would have refused to have supported Stalin against Hitler because of Stalin's prior depredations.

And, to kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, you said in a later post:
Kirbmarc wrote:Peterson's research may actually explain Steersman. He's so fixated on strict dictionary definitions and ignoring pragmatics (the use of language) because he has low language aptitude. It makes a lot of sense.
Think you're kind of losing the thread - or your biases ("descriptive linguistics FTW!") are obscuring them. I don't give much of a rat's ass if people want to call their boats "her", or label their bombs "mother" - I'm not going to insist on seeing their ova or children before I'll accept the use of those words. But when push comes to shove, when people insist, for example, in calling Bruce Jenner a woman or trying to impose purity tests such as "do you believe that trans women are women, yes or no?" (E pur si muove) then, Houston, we have a problem.

And it seems that the only way off the horns of that particular dilemma is to go back to first principles, to definitions, and how they work and what is the rationale behind them. Think you'd be wise to consider that "pragmatics" and descriptive linguistics are hardly the measures of all things.

I chose not to share it too. Not too graphic but extremely disturbing nonetheless. Ive retweeted a couple gruesome videos in the past but im less incline to do so nowadays. Liveleak is there for that kind of stuff. Unlike Twitter, LiveLeak is there for you to voluntarily go watch gruesome and weird videos.

Horrific isn't the word. 78 years old, just walking along the street, minding his own business. A few seconds, and he's gone. Jesus, what a way to go. Sicko who killed him just doesn't give a shit. Talks as if he was just going out to get a burger. Fucking hell.

Good advice. Don't bet on me being smart-enough to take it.

It does help that enough pitters have expressed sympathetic views-- that I dont feel obliged to take an endless one-man stand, like Rambo in First Blood.

Ive probably failed to communicate that I consider this the aftermath... things Im sayoling now are just Lessons Learned or afterthoughts.... not intended as extra innings in the game.

I figured that it was universally understood that guys do that. She was in as "one of the boys". Only feminists pretend not to understand this, & only a few at that. The rest acknowledge it & use it as an example of how toxic masculinity is. I've moved through a ton of "male spaces" in my time & don't really feel established until that stuff starts & I get to dish it back out a little.

It's not a surprise, since there were blatant voting fraud and terror tactics against those who intended to vote "No".

I guess Erdogan rode the train of democracy until now, now it's time for him to get off. Expect more shenanigans, more boasting and trying to bully Europe into giving him Turkey money or he'll bus more Syrian refugees to the border between Turkey and Greece.

Well my Swiss ancestors had nothing to do with the trans-atlantic slave trade either but according to critical race theory I still owe reparations because I'm white. At least that's what Yemmy told me.

Incidentally whenever a SJW says that Turks as muslims are "poor, oppressed brown people" I always laugh. Nobody oppressed the Turks. Turkey was never a colony.

Shit, no Turk would ever take the "European oppression of Turkey" seriously except of course when it comes to saying how "oppression" was rebelling against Turkish rule, or of course when it comes to whining about the Evilness of the Kaffir (especially Zee Jewz) if they're a religious nut.

In general when the SJWs say that muslims are "oppressed people" most muslims either laugh or agree but blame Zee Jewz.

PZ is a lamarckian primarily because natural selection is anathema to the SJW equal-outcomes moralistic fallacy. But he's also (more-or-less) a cell biologist, so wants cell chemistry to be more important than genes. He's also a Gould fanboi, and Gould was an individual-selectionist who declared DNA 'just the bookkeeping' of non-darwinian evolution.

But PZ can't even get his unorthodox evolution straight. He believes the Founder Effect is sufficient to negate environmental selection pressure in all populations regardless of size, thinks the Baldwin Effect is true lamarckism, thinks Waddington canalization is lamarckism, believes four-generation methylization is more powerful than natural selection. He has flirted with Gaia terminology. Though he scoffs at group-selectionism, he has described Population Genetics as the relative fitness of separate populations, and has opined that groups which learn to "love one another" thrive over hate filled groups. He believes that all DNA, including DNA that codes, is mostly 'junk' DNA, and all genetic variation is "neutral or nearly neutral," essentially rejecting natural selection in toto.

Well my Swiss ancestors had nothing to do with the trans-atlantic slave trade either but according to critical race theory I still owe reparations because I'm white. At least that's what Yemmy told me.
So, fork over.
I'll pay you with the money that Heina Dadhabohy will owe me when I'll help her write "A Skeptic's Guide to Islam". Deal?

I'm pretty sure that "Race, plus some tranny stuff" is the tag line for Slate, Salon, Vox, Defamer, Everyday Feminism, and most every other news outlet.

At least there's something to look forward to:

It’s nice that some of you soften the situation a bit, I greatly appreciate it. :)

There's some interesting insights in this discussion.

Shit, no Turk would ever take the "European oppression of Turkey" seriously except of course when it comes to saying how "oppression" was rebelling against Turkish rule, or of course when it comes to whining about the Evilness of the Kaffir (especially Zee Jewz) if they're a religious nut.

In general when the SJWs say that muslims are "oppressed people" most muslims either laugh or agree but blame Zee Jewz.
Always bring up the Arab Slave Trade, the Ottoman Empire, and the Armenian Genocide, if a pesky SJW is boring you with their white-guilt version of history.

They don't like that. Makes them get angry and teary in the eyes.

PZ is complaining that the MOAB has now killed 90 ISIS terrorists rather than the original 30.

This has to be a new low. Maybe he should call his son for clarification.

Its just the murderer talking, no actual killing. Its really weird. He talk about his ex who he blame for the current situation he's in, like he's pushed to the brink of murder because of her but he later also claim he killed several people before and gave information to where the body are.

He might be an actual serial killer who decided to go on a final killing spree because he can't get over a break up. Or he might be just mentally ill. Or maybe patriarchy.

Really sad but fascinating too in a way.
Past year have been really fucked up for me. You know. [...] I lost everything. I lost everything i had man. I don't have shit. Im out of options. And now im just on some murder type shit so... what im going to do is... because she work here im gonna try to kill as many people as i can over here

Perhaps if we rebrand ISIS as "Nazis", PZ would be jizzing his pants, instead of complaining?

According to one of PZ's star bloggers, Marcus Ranum of Stderr, all members of the US armed forces are hired killers, and since Marcus was one, he would know.
Why would PZ want to talk to a criminal like his hired killer son? He must feel so much shame. :violin:

Fucking white men. They kill people because they think they're entitled to sex at any time they want from anyone they please. This is the whole goal of MGTOW, the Red Pill, PUAs, MRAs and all but a few feminist white men.

Oh my god. We don't like Beckybooze, Peezus and Loser Jen? This is totally the kind of thing that must be noted on a fine, upstanding and objective web site.

And their totally necessary content note says "pretty much everything." Can someone ask what we HAVEN'T done so we can do it?

True until the few feminist white men part. The FWM or the feminist white men are the biggest predators, it's just that they haven't all been caught yet.

I thought that makeup was part of Patriarchy because men tell women they have to create an illusion of what they really look like so they will have worth. I'll bet that asshole teacher forced his daughter to shave her armpits. Dickhead.
