“To deal with the IQ problem is to become a pariah”
You’re absolutely right! Nobody, especially “conservatives” wants to touch this with a twenty foot pole, lest they’ll be tarred as racists and white supremacists.
Ironically, though, the vast majority of the population (including blacks) and politicians tacitly accept the reality of significant IQ differences every time they come out with programs, both for schools and work, to lower standards because blacks disproportionately fail those standards. Or saying that getting a voter ID is too much of a challenge for blacks.
Or to constantly complain about the school performance gap between the races.
So everybody knows and accepts the racial IQ reality, but every one is afraid to explicitly touch it and instead prefers doing away with merit and discipline.
This means that things are only going to get worse, as whites continue to pander and slobber and give in to any demand by blacks. And as for blacks, their level of communal responsibility will further decline because they can get away misbehaving with no consequences.
But, though blacks are major players in this drama, they are not the source of the problem. They play the part of extremely useful “oppressees” for the Marxist left (which is mostly white), and sees the world as made up of oppressors and oppressed.
The blacks have replaced Marx proletariats as the victim class, and they make an especially good victim precisely because of the IQ difference. That will, on average, forever keep them at the lower rung of the ladder (unlike the “proletariats” who could move up the economic scale in a capitalist system) and thus the Marxists can have their oppressor-oppressed world view reinforced and validated and justified by the realities we see.
And they use that to gain power as they have already done to a great extent.
So, leftists and blacks are in a symbiotic relationship, with white leftists having most of the power and blacks get to enjoy playing victims and being showered with bennies and excuses to act irresponsibly with no consequences. It’s a nice win-win for both sides.
There is one more major player in this drama - what Stalin astutely and correctly called the “useful idiots”, who, in a country where they get to vote, are the ones that determine who gets elected, since there are tens of millions of them.
These are people who are easily led, can’t think on their own, can easily be brainwashed and are endowed with a high amount of insipid pathological compassion. They re easily “guilted” and think of themselves as “nice” people whose worst fear is to be called a racist or judgmental or mean or a hater.
And the left has learned how to play them like a Stradivarius and that is the source of their power.
So the 64k question is, where does that leave us reality-grounded conservatives? How do we overcome this? Does the whole system have to collapse before we can rebuild it?
(Didn’t mean it to be so long, but I was on a roll.) :)
IQ is also genetic - and it has always annoyed my how so many conservatives in the US and Europe deny biology and instead e stress “culture” and “assimilation.” You can’t and shouldn’t assimilate morons regardless of race.
