Reminder that Vice is just typical neoliberal propaganda no different than CNN or NYT, except it's branded a little differently to appeal to millennials. That way they receive their good goy messaging while thinking they're rebellious because half the articles are about butt stuff.

I've pretty much been vaguely right wing since I got my first job, but I noticed I went way deeper when I started lifting. I started reading more and basically all I read now is political philosophy. Next weekend I'm going to start teaching myself Latin (hopefully including conversational Latin as well if I can find some good resources). Lifting, personal responsibility, and right wing thought definitely intersect.
Josiah Thompson
When you work so hard for your gains you wouldn't want to distribute them to people who don't deserve it. Naturally this will pass on to finance and political beliefs.
Juan Reyes
How are you going about teaching yourself latin? I’m thinking about doing the same
Xavier Carter
This just confirms the parasitical crab in the bucket nature of left wingers. Funny thing is I'd be more than happy to support people to earn their own gains or other things like wealth but they can go for helicopter rides the moment they ask for results they didn't earn.
>Rightwing bullshit is "merit based" I love how delusional this fucking meme is. The dumbest and most corrupt fuckers in existence always rise to the top, but somehow this is "merited".
Brayden Martin
AP Latin study material isn't a bad thing because it will tend to explain some of the more finicky grammatical points. So, grab a Latin textbook, go to Perseus and pick something that interests you (Caesar's Gallic War and Civil War are pretty good entry points).

To be fair, IQ which quite heritable is basically the best predictor of lifetime success.
Josiah Sullivan
>is basically the best predictor of lifetime success. It isn't user. You see, if you're below average it's tough to make money if you don't hustle, if you're above average you'll do good in school but you won't make money just because you have a high IQ.
I don't even understand the logic behind that statement and that idea.
Jaxon Long
There will always be a disconnect between what the average pleb citizen and 1% politician or businessman does in any political system. Vietnamese line soldiers during the Vietnam war were very merit based and prized true competency despite being commies yet the commies in American academia today are subhuman.
Binary political systems are pretty dumb when we should be unifying to tackle greed while encouraging fair competition to be the best and rewarding those who succeed.
James Bell
>In the past, researchers discovered a significant correlation between men who were physically formidable and their belief that some social groups should dominate other social groups
This right here is so fucking irritating.
What people believe or not doesn't matter, THIS IS WHAT WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN it's 100% hardwired into the nature of social mammals.
The far left muh equality are the absolute fucking worst in this category too, it's all interconnected cults of personalities.
Whereas the right makes distinction in hierarchy largely by merit, which is how should be as there's a natural selection process towards not getting completely inept people leading communities, nations etc., leftist-minded people does it through sociopathy i.e basically 14 year old girls relations.
No it isn't. That's just taken as an aggregate for mostly middle of the bell curve predictions. In other words: normies are more successful. That doesn't mean IQ correlates with capitalistic success. Some of the richest people on Earth (the trumps, the hiltons, elon musk) are some of the dumbest fuckers imaginable. Meanwhile the two smartest recorded men are basically paupers. One's a fucking bouncer.
Capitalism is like that Family Guy episode where Peter makes everyone pick from a hat after the apocalypse and ignoring the fact that there were real doctors available.
The difference is, when the intelligent rule, everyone benefits, while when the retarded and venal rule, everyone suffers. Including the retarded and venal eventually. Capitalism is a god damned failure for anyone who isn't a billionaire or who would like to be alive in 20 years.

>The dumbest and most corrupt fuckers in existence always rise to the top This is the delusional thinking. This is completely unsupported by every expert, every metric, every standard except stupid and poor people. This is the ego defense mechanism of a pathetic person who can't accept the reality that they are on the bottom of the barrel and are not willing to do anything about it.

Oh, you're just in reality denial land.
I guess it make sense, because intelligence research leaves both Republicans and Democrats really uncomfortable because it puts some of their most important ideas about human nature on thin ice.
Eli Harris
It's almost like the people who go the gym to attain a athletic/slim/healthy physique realize that hard work and effort is rewarding and apply it to their lives or something.
Right wing people are better suited for tough times. But in an increasingly richer and less scarce world, left wing ideology will inevitably prevail. No wonder conservatism is a right wing ideology and progressivism is left-wing
80% of the world is poor, you're ideology appears to be routed in ego, unless I'm missing something?
Zachary Lewis
Wait so people who are used to putting in thousands of hours of work in order to personally achieve a goal are less likely to support people being lazy and getting similar benefits without any of the work? Never would've guessed.
>The dumbest and most corrupt fuckers in existence always rise to the top this is, per se, a total logical fallacy. blundering to the top is not an accident.
now being born on the top, like modern day americans or europeans, is totally coincidental. but being the direct result of previous success, one can assume that they will be successful too.
are you one of those people that erroneously believe that most or even all wealthy people were born as such
Josiah Butler

Hunter Morris
>Some of the richest people on Earth (the trumps, the hiltons, elon musk) are some of the dumbest fuckers imaginable. Imagine believing this.
Right-wing people tend to believe more in the value of hard work than left-wing people. Just so happens that in order to be fit you have to believe in the value of hard work enough to work hard to maintain your shape. It's not surprising.
Also, >science confirms lol. Better be really fucking conclusive research
Why is Vice so trash?
Jack Adams
Reminder that anyone who takes this b8 is stupider than actual unironic commies
Cameron Long
>Why is Vice so trash? Vice, and media in general, especially online shit, don't really have an incentive to produce quality content as much as they do to put out inflammatory clickbaity shit for clicks and then people to spread it via outrage. They put out an article, you get mad and post it to your friends and they make money. You stop it by ignoring them

Can you imagine how exhausting it must be for liberals to constantly change their values?
Lifting makes you based. A friend of mine who i thought was a leftist, changed in behaviour and opinion. He'd say stuff like, if i get a kid i want to be in the best shape of my life so i'll give him the best genes i can offer. (Seems like something a nationalist would say even if its plausible that such a thing would actually work) And other shit like how the right-wing party was right about not wanting to let in all those muslims; theu are weak and won't carry themselves, but stay on welfare forever.. He was a turk, not muslim tho.
Adrian Cox
Socialists have always been weak , they have to constantly rely on others because they're insecure Melvins Liberals are delusional lmao
Liberal and Conservatives? LOL They're both tools used to talk retards like you into doing what they want and not actually coming together to ACCOMPLISH fucking anything.

I'm a progressive who lifts but I despise many of the bitch made components of the Democratic party. Could care less about gender and identity politics. I would like government that stays out of people's business, protects the rights of workers, taxes people more fairly and protects the environment

When I introduced a hard headed leftist to kickboxing, he started to change within a year. First he was a socialist and even appreciated communism, now he is a nationalist with a classical liberal view on economics. It is interesting to see how people can change.
Evan Hughes
>stays out of people's business >protects the environment Not saying that everyone to the right of center wants to nuke the rainforests, but you do see the hypocrisy with these two statements, right? A government can only do environmental protection by impeding people's business in some way (whether it be literal business practices, or on a more individual citizen level)
Joseph Lee
Actually, the poor should be in a higher tax bracket than the wealthy. That way they are motivated to make more money AND be taxed less.
