    Redditors thinking they’re the first line of defense against fascism is hilarious. The call is coming from inside the house.

    Also, anyone who refers to themselves as “high IQ” is not worth listening to. In fact they might be even stupider than anyone who’s actually intelligent.

      I know right - a platform that bans people for anything that goes against a mods narrative - absolute clownery

      People who are actually smart, regardless of their IQ score, know that IQ is a terrible measure of intelligence and would never brag about it.

      I actually do have a high IQ, around 120. I was tested as part of my ADHD diagnosis.

      All it’s good for is knowing that I don’t know shit.

        120 is the minimum for above average. I wouldn’t consider it “high”. (Not ragging just being honest, I’m also in the 120’s)

          Well the average is normed to 100. So 120 is not the minimum for above average. The top 9% of population would be above 115iq.

          While high IQ is more of a diagnosis than anything, the statistics are real. I don’t know why you don’t want to consider top 9% as “high”.

          What is high in your opinion?

        See, this is the thing about being smart. You’re intelligent enough to realise that there’s a lot of shit you don’t know.

        When you’re thick you just believe any old bollocks you read…

      Everytime there’s piss on the seat or the floor I just think: who the fuck are these people and do they do this in their own house?

      Like, go use the urinal, why you gotta ruin the seat?

      And if it’s an accident, at least wipe up after yourself!

        I have doubts that they would do that to their own home. I’d like to get inside the head of someone like that to see the motivation though. It has to be purely just to screw other people just out of malice.

      I feel the opposite way. I hope people who fuck up public bathrooms never fuck again.

    Reddit: We’re intelligent, free-thinking anti-fascists.

    Also Reddit: Antifa and Nazis are basically the same.

    I often muse about how can the vast majority of people have an above average IQ … according to them that is.

      Selection bias. The nature of Reddit and its past as a liberal free speech zone lends (lended?) itself to particular traits. Reddit’s average user is some combination of the following:

      • male
      • in a STEM job or training/educated for STEM work
      • grew up middle-class
      • downwardly mobile
      • has ADHD or autism

      Altogether this does actually mean IQ probably trends a bit higher on average. That doesn’t mean shit for the quality of your arguments if you don’t critically examine your beliefs though, and anyone spouting American media talking points is not examining anything.

        (I didn’t mean Reddit, just overall people/the world. Tho not disagreeing directly, but the way you described the average Redditor might end up in their page/ads & marketing/shareholder meetings. Also not sure if any of the 5 points correlates highly with iq. Again, not disagreeing, & the last bit of your comment makes it perfectly clear you arent relating that to any sort of quality.)
