>tfw no fashionable qt asian gf

If by educated you mean more articles read in Buzzfeed, Cosmopolitan, Huffpost, Tech Insider , then it is because they don't have a job and have the spare time to read all that pseudo nonsensical crap.

Pretty sure that's just the average homeless Asian male leaf-kun.

they get blue pilled along the way in college.

Also, they are wealthier and more affluent so they don't need to interact with spics, niggers, etc. on a daily basis.

Reality has a liberal bias.

Because educated means indoctrinated.
Watch the documentary Indoctrinate U and these posts:

I don't get it.

Krauts put out objectively worse shitposts than leafs, but only leafs get called out on it.

What's the deal?

>Gender studies, lib arts
>education

Christcucks bring the average down, if you sampled non religious right wingers you'll see there is a difference.

They are the Bourgeoisie that they claim to oppose, rich priveledged, little do they realize if a marxist govt were to attain power they would resist it and be purged, because the level of lifestyle they would have under that system would be unacceptable. TLDR they are useful idiots to the people who really run shit.

They're not. I'm only one in college where I work. The rest are lefty drop outs who think they're hyper intelligent because they listen to npr.

>college degrees equal intelligence meme

It depends on how you are defining intelligence, liberalism, and conservatism.

If you are using IQ as your metric for intelligence, which tests logical reasoning skills and such, liberals as a group pull ahead of conservatives because conservatives include people who use faith-based instead of logic-based reasoning. This makes them as a group score poorly by comparison.

However, if you change the test to only reflect economic subjects, conservatives pull far ahead of liberals. This is because in this field, conservatives are more firmly grounded in logical reality than liberals, who employ emotion-based arguments for their economic views.

This is also why when you take libertarians out of the two groups, they score higher than both liberals or conservatives in most intelligence tests.

I have noticed it's more like this:
Dumb people are conservatives. Like rednecks in America and average Trump supporters desu.

Somewhat "smart" people are leftists. They look around and think "something is wrong with the world", then they try to understand what's wrong, but they end up being manipulated by liberal media, Hollywood, cultural marxism, all that stuff.

Smart people are conservatives. They know that something is wrong, and they know that not all info is necessarily true, that there are vile political interests playing around the world and the sheeple are manipulated into following whatever they leaders want them to follow.

There's no evidence to support the claim that they're more intelligent. They're also only more educated because of liberal arts programs.

>their leaders
fixed

Because we read actual educational material in contrast to religious fiction (DUH bible).

It's not that they are more educated it is because educated Conservatives keep quiet. The world is far too hostile toward them when they speak up.

That's only because academia has been infested with liberal propaganda or the "educated" were from ultra-liberal campuses.

A degree in gender studies is not better educated it just means they went to college and got a (useless) degree.

>be lefty commie faggot
>get accepted to lefty corrupted commie college
>graduate with lefty commie lib arts degree
>survey goes around the state gathering IQ averages
>since the state is mostly white it's above average
>you are now a "highly educated high IQ liberal"

>It depends on how you are defining intelligence

Here we go, watch the double digit IQ, uneducated cuckservative do his mental gymnastics.

...

>Aussie didn't even read the post, which uses IQ and logic as the metric for intelligence

You are a credit to your people

not true according to gss data

anepigone.blogspot.de/2011/03/republicans-are-more-scientifically.html

Despite their claims to be working for the interests of the uneducated poor they fail to attract an uneducated crowd.

The left love to wave around this statistic as if they it prove they are clever.
All it proves is that they fail to communicate properly to what should be their target audience.

If the left were genuinely successful their ranks would be swelled massively by the huge numbers of average workers with their average and below average IQs.

Silly liberals focus on being "educated" which is subjective.

people who are more conservative tend to focus on knowledge and wisdom.

This is not 100% true for everyone obviously.

Whenever the media refers to a group of people as the 'educated' they mean like doctors, lawyers, engineers, CEO's and such.

So basically the rich.

If by intelligent you mean brainwashed and in 50k debt

If they're so well educated and intelligent why are they always unemployed and demanding money from conservatives?

most of the variation in intelligence is among a single dimension.

humanvarieties.org/2013/04/03/is-psychometric-g-a-myth/

democrats tend to be much more black/hispanics so it's likly that they are quite a bit below the average republican IQ.

Define educated.
Actually being smart
Or having a degree in gender studies?

Exactly.

The kind of people who get to go to good colleges because of money haven't actually been exposed to the type of people they are constantly celebrating.

>better educated

I think you have confused more education with better education and general intelligence.

Liberal college brainwashing.

Brilliant shitpost, Bruce.

>better educated
From government schooling, of course.
>more intelligent
Nah.

>leftists
Leftists do not exist in the West, they are all procapitalists liberal faggots. Look at the KPRF, those are classic leftists with more balls than the faggots at the PVV or FPO

>why is [gross generalization]
your only argument here is "they don't agree with me, they're dumber than me"

can't even rationally debate someone with that kind of attitude.

Leftist on average have a higher IQ than conservatives.

Because many conservatives start working earlier to take care of their family... while leftists go to school and often never start a family at all. So they get more time to study... but it's clearly not making them smarter.

> Go to liberal schools that tell you if you parrot what they tell you, you are smart.

Ok. Let's pay money to be told we are smart and then complain because we are so smart we can't even get a McDonald's job after going into debt to be told we are smart though. It's a lie.

Im smarter than you cause this piece of paper said so can you get me a job where you work I need to pay off 60k in student loans k thx bye

Stephen King should be in there too.

Gender studies isn't a real education, nor is liberal arts.

This is a lie not supported by any evidence.

Do not confuse education with inteligence
I can teach my dog with education how to behave aswell that doesn't mean that my dog will understand economics.

Higher inteligence does really make you lean towards saying equal rights and other crap because you are able to put yourself in someone else shoes "niggers/inbreds/trash/womans" meaning that you'll be biased towards these shitt groups especially when you use yo feelings "muh starving refugee lets him" and education does help you tap plus if you can get higher education you don't really worry about food since you probably come from an middle class family or a family that is willing to sacrafice it self for you , meaning they dont really understand the hardship of life and working your balls off.

Plus young people tend to want stuff , young people tend to be more socialist wanting to share wealth and crap since they don't have anything they want from others... it's only fair they say.

As we grow older we become more convervative we value money , homes especially if we work or fought of it... why should I share my hard worked wealth with you? someone older would say.

So do not confused inteligence with education.
As for inteligent people who actually have an intrest in economics and understand how things work , are less likely to want to give welfare to "muh starving refugee" or "illegals"

I mean whats so fucking hard to undertand that illegal imigration causes wages to drop as people are willing to pay less for undocumented workers which effects the whole region economy , whats so hard to understand that also paying illegals means you dont pay taxes on what you pay them nor do they plus is very likely that most of that paycheck will go help their familes... I guess it's nice to help someone who is starving ... but if you have 3 breads and you give out 4 breads to starving people that means that you'll have a bread deficite.

As for rights , yeah it's nice to give people rights ... question is do they deserve it?

They may be higher educated on average, but they don't necessarily have a higher IQ

If you spend too many years in school paid for by the conservative tax payer you will eventually think you are better than everyone else ----> you are now a leftist

For the same reason whites are smarter than blacks.

If you're not religious you're not right wing.

You dont have to be Christian; well actually you should but you get my point.

Have higher book smarts* they're the majority who have nestled themselves in secure, safe academia. Book smarts does not equate to overall intelligence, especially if it is information that you can't practically apply to real life scenarios.

Define educated you antifa nigger. Because I can tell you there is no leftist in mechanical engineering here. There are plenty in the meme subjects. It more like the useless people are leftists, while those with real career options tend to be right wing.

>if you change the test to only reflect economic subjects, conservatives pull far ahead of liberals. This is because in this field, conservatives are more firmly grounded in logical reality

>this year trickle down economics will finally work, we just need to lower the tax rates even more! maybe if the highest was 15% corporations might raise their wages a dollar or so! go Reagan!

Because few people whose job it is to educate others are conservative/nationalist. People just assume liberals are better educators or something when that is not true. Conservatism and nationalism are frowned upon and are generally not hired to teach young minds.

holy fuck how big is that cigarette or how small is brother sharp?

Well said.

Consider reading this if you haven't.

What about the ones that are actually poor or working class?

why are all of the leftys such hags

Nice meme.
>muh communism

If someone who doesn't own a gun and has never been affected by a gun why should they be allowed to vote on gun laws.

Why should someone who doesn't own a house and vote on home insurance laws.

Especially that most people that vote for these are brainwash...

Few years ago I heard some petition to ban CERN experiments because of fear of blackholes...

Should we stop growth because of trash?
Now tell me do these people on the left understand these things?

No they don't , they don't understand genetics , they don't understand eugenics , they don't understand even history.

But yeah... lets give food to starving refugees and let them rape our daughters because they had a hard life in their countries.

Go in the woods find a wounded wolf , take it home and take care of it , the wolf recovers and is ethernal greateful and will vote for you in the comming elections ... just don't blame the wolf for being agresive like wolfs and don't blame it for killing yo children and biting your neghibours.

And I talk from experience , my grandfather found wolf in the woods, the wolf would bark and growl at everybody except grandmother and grandfather, he bite off my year had to go get surgery at 5 years old because our families wolf which was just a pup when he was found bit off my ear...

So yeah leftist smarter more education and more inteligent... same leftist who tries not report the rapes done in cologne because he is smart enough to figure that , that news will make people go ape shit.

It took fucking Sup Forums to spread the news about Kohn ! It took fucking a 'nazi frog' board to let people know whats was going on in your own fucking country

Because they're not. Every single piece of technology you're using right now was developed by scientists who would be considered conservative. Even your precious liberal startups making blog software outsource the real work to India, you're worshiping a bunch of Jewish lawyers and shit who own the companies.

Well part of it is that the working class actually have to live cheek by jowl with Muslims and other sub humans. It's real easy to be "refugees welcome" or "no borders" when the only brown people you meet are the top .1% who rise to the top and move in upper middle class circles/work places.

Another part is that higher education as it currently exists is largely a leftist indoctrination program.

they're not

You have all the retarded niggers on your side, and the vast majority of criminals, who guess what, are also dumb niggers and spics

Easy, they waste their time on getting degrees in fields like gender studies, sociology and political science, degrees that for the most part are useless in a job market. However what they provide is a feeling of intellectual superiority, in reality they just come off as pompous and ignorant to the ways of the world outside of a text book.
To be completely frank, I think biblical scholars have more useful education than any "educated" leftist.

>muh muh muh

>pseudo-intellectuals

STEM degrees are still the most popular in America and a huge margin of technology students are very liberal. So just because you never went to school and feel self conscious about it doesn't mean everyone who went to school completed a "feel good" degree

>muh muh muh muh muh muh muh muh muh

>pretending that social studies is an actual science

go kill yourself

I don't think this is true. I live in Massachusetts which is the most educated and affluent state in the US and it's incredibly diverse. People come here to go to school and live in Cambrdige, Somerville, Lowell etc and it's not just white people.

Because we know that anything to do with shit is a Kraut national pastime.

thats like saying scientists understand more about the world than theists

Economic Conservatism beats out economic """""Liberalism""""" and socialist standing.
Social Conservatism loses to social liberalism.

It really does balance out in the end and most attempts by the left to misrepresent the figures is pathetic and simply another MSM lie that has gone on for two long.

>Quotation marks signify that in fact the liberal economics are really the classical liberal de-regulation and focus on private enterprise, but rather the neoliberal stances adopted by the modern democratic party in US and New Labour in the UK.

I'm Right wing and an Atheist.

don't go the No True Scotsman fallacy.

> around 40% off the American population thinks that being exposed to a pesticide will give you certain cancer

._____.; wow

There's some British psychologist who actually had his reputation trashed, because he found the very reasonable answer to this.
>People with higher IQ's are more likely to develop unusual, eccentric, and self-sacrificing beliefs (or, as he called them, "evolutionarily novel beliefs")
When you look at the brightest members of our species, they're usually a little bit off. Hell, it's one of the reasons I can actually kinda believe that Trump's IQ is as high as he says He's fucking batty.

>Liberalism is a result of human evolution
>Liberals control the world due to their intelligence

Wow what an article really got my mind jogging.

Liberalism, if its popularity is truly in conjunction with intelligence and "evolution", will continue to put a kink in efficient societal function, as it incentivizes dependence. "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for his entire life." Charity in a truly free market and predominantly independent society will be more efficient in helping the poor/uneducated as people are voluntarily going out of their way to contribute help towards them. Simple taxation of the working class and allocating that money into the poor's bank accounts doesn't teach anything. It just says "Yeah we're thinking of you. Have some money."

Intelligence =/= work ethic. To say that liberalism is so prevalent in media/schooling/government, etc., due to sheer intelligence is a fallacy. Plain and simple.

Please, see And read it.

Also Racism is the a common sense practice.
You don't look like me so you may not share my non violent nature , you don't pray like me so you might want to kill me as I also killed/converted those whom with I shared my land.
It's sad that it goes often to an extreme. But thats why you can't have nice things.
Whats going on today is that normies and plebs are giving full rights with those that build the nations of the earth.

Just look in the history books all those famous artist/phisophers/arhitects/ everybody who was famous with some exception were rich faggots , and they were rich because they had a background of inteligent people. Meaning they were genetically inteligent..

Now everybody can get a degree , everybody is an artist , everybody piece of shit without a bone of dedication in their bodies. And guess what there are a lot of them and all of them shouting yelling "BLM" "FEMINISM" "OPEN BORDERS"

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the idea of freedom of movement , check federation states ... But it shouldn't be easy to move from one location to an other , imigration should be controled.

The EU is suffering because it allowed people to freely move from one country to the other... like Farage said "You people ruined the meditaranian economies"

Wrong mister Farage look at the data , the people ruined it... The german nation was always a discipline place paying people what they are worth. while in greece , space , italy (south part) people enjoyed being lazy and in the staying in the sun.

The GDP of germany went up while unemployement in greece , spain and italy is 20-24% and respectivly 14%... OF course people want to work and be payed good. But scumbag mentality in those countries drove people off...

Now what you have everybody wanting to go to germany and (england soon they may not be able anymore kek) and everybody build summer vacations homes in Spain , Greece and Italy...

People fucked up their own economies by fucking each other up.

1. Mostly because the first institutions to fall into the wrath of leftism were Universities, thus Literature, thus Mass Media
2. Conservatism/Nationalism tends to appeal to the human nature, thus the reason why you find many people who are more "rough around the ages", sort to speak, to adhere to such ideologies, even though they tend to cause more harm.

This is obviously a bait thread, but to those who actually are curious on the answer to the question, know this: it just happens that there are more intellectuals, CEO's and actors who come out as leftists, but they are like foam who sit on the surface. Below them, you can find supporters who are similar when it comes to how archaic their arguments and world views are.

>Check SJW's and your usual commie for example

thanks for posting. really made me think.

favourite bite: "Little wonder, perhaps, that clever sillies usually choose sub-replacement reproduction."

>better educated
What exactly do you mean by this?
What does it mean to be educated?
If I pull all c's for my women's studies degree am I educated?

>MUH MUH MUH MUH MANRAY!!!

Because they aren't.

Muh librul indoctrination should be common knowledge by now, but whether you're a shill, ignorant, or anything in between, I suggest you watch this as beginner: youtu.be/WHyvRHrYYBA


Also look at pic related and tell me nothing screwy happens, lx04chlp.

I agreee man

But Actors , CEO's and usually famous people come out as leftist and promoting leftist agendas because of fear of public images. Saying "fuck those lazy niggers" on camera today is bascily a career sucide , so why would they.
Not many people have strong charctar especially when their wealth and fame is based on the public opinion.
Damn if some large CEO says anything that may seem right , everybody will hang him... next day you'll see him resigning.

As for actors , well being famouse doesn't make you inteligent , even if you share right views you'd rather keep your mouth shut at events about these things as you don't want to be judge.

Or go full ape shit like Leo about global warming... yeah global warning is real but cmon is not that bad , the earth too asteroids hit and gamma-ray burst and it's still here with shitloads of life. Worse thing that we are doing is making the weather more extreme , but I believe we are smart enough to fix and if we aren't that big whoop we don't deserve anything then.

It's survial of the fittest not the nicest

They are "better" educated because they usually come from affluent families that can afford to ship them off to college for years, but they certainly aren't more intelligent. They rarely receive technical training that could be of actual use to society, and instead pursue fanciful nonsense that shoves Marxist bullshit down their throats but offers no actual knowledge.

They tend not to care about identity politics and other distractions, which strangely enough makes them hated by the overall American left.

Actors will always do what their sponsors do, same as the Mass Media. It became 100% obvious to me when it came to John Cena rapping a long time ago: youtube.com/watch?v=0nDsz7St-Yk

>"You hate me cuz I'm white? That's reverse discrimination! I hate you for two words: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!"

Now you get this: youtube.com/watch?v=0MdK8hBkR3s

These people are caught by their balls, and I believe there are many examples of public personalities who came out as Right-Wing or, recently, Pro-Trump who suffered a lot of bad PR which will definitely affect their career.

Capitalism comes with ups and downs, but some of its downsides makes you wanna question it.

what their sponsors tell them to do*

>"It just works" is the main point of conservatism.
>The smarter you are the less you are satisfied with the answer "it just works"

But I guess it has more to do with history and rural/urban tendencies rather then some "conservatises is dump rednucks" or "libruls get {[(endoctrinatud)]} in universitities".
