You're kinda proving the point here. Scott said that if someone mentions this 100% true and uncontroversial statistic without also including a bunch of defensive verbiage, most people will shoot the messenger.

He didn't say anything about anyone being inferior, you attributed that to him.



Yes it's so clever how he manages to skirt so close to saying it that people like Steve Sailer feel comfortable commenting, but without actually stating it clearly in amongst his multi-thousand word rambles. Probably didnt have room to clarify.

It's all very teenage edgelord. He's triggering the libs with "facts" like black people commit more crime and attracting an audience of people who think that "the jews control the media", "being gay is a disease" etc. How smart and intelligent of him.


Why is "facts" in quotes?

I'll note, again, the passage you linked wasn't about crime rates or african americans. It was about your reaction you're having here.


Yes it was.

He was claming "black people commit more crime" is a valid thing to say, that you can't because woke people can't cope with the truth, though he'd probably be upset if someone said "women get paid less than men".

Oh, you're implying they get paid less for the same work, when really they just choose not to be CEOs because they love babies so much, he'd say, because he knows there's a whole bunch of political baggage that goes along with the "fact" that women are paid less.

He's more than smart enough to know what he's doing when he says these things.


You're doing the thing though, for 3 posts in a row. You're not handling the truth.

You're not ruminating on the societal factors that give rise to these statistics, you're freaking out at the fact that this guy mentioned them at all. Exactly like he said you would.


Yes he trapped me, how clever. I hope he doesnt ask me if I've stopped beating my wife, as that is a similarly inescapable logical prison from which there is no escape. Whatever I say he wins!


It's more like he asked if you stopped beating your wife, and you reacted by immediately beating her.
