I haven’t read the whole thread yet, but so far the choice line is:
I like how you just dropped the “Vance is interested in right authoritarianism” like it’s a known fact to base your entire point on. Vance is the clearest demonstration of a libertarian the republicans have in high office. It’s an absurd ad hominem that you try to mask in your wall of text.
They are also concerned about t levels in athletes, and IQ comes up. Which he defends with “If you think none of these tests are actually measuring anything of value, you must need to explain why they correlate so well with life outcomes related to cognition.”
I think a problem with ssc people is that they dont realize they are culture warriors.
Yeah considering various culture war posts are clearly still up, including ones calling progressives going crazy it all is a lot of plausible deniability.
