    Let’s just make up a new evopsych theory and see how far we can spread it.

    I propose: whites are from cold climates where they must spend months at a time snowed in with their families. Therefore, whites have an inherent propensity towards incest, which explains all of their weird incest porn.

      Black people are adapted to abundance, and thus have better brains and muscles due to being adapted to a constant stream of food whenever they wanted

      Whites are adapted to scarcity and frigid winters, and thus are low energy! sad!

      This drives me crazy too, and they always cite fucking dogs as an example of “subspecies” to back up this dumb shit even though dog breeds are not genetically distinct at all and are just various types of super-habsburg-jaw

          Wait no, don’t give the ideas. Next you know they’ll double down on eugenics. Try to get all the good stuff for white people so they can spend cradle to grave just partying it up, and the rest of us are reprogrammed to think of nothing except doing all the menial labor for them a la Brave New World

          You could probably compare the idea of human race to creating vague categories for natural variation in fur coat color/pattern within the same breed of dog. It’s just lumping people of different physical appearances together, there’s no genetic marker for race, and there’s obviously no clear concept of it

        This guy’s on a whole other level, citing misleading pseudoscience to claim human races are entirely different species, akin to wolves and coyotes. Meanwhile a random black person will often be more genetically similar to a random white person than another black person.

        There’s more genetic variation between 2 communities of chimpanzees separated by a river than all genetic variation in 8 billion humans. Zero basis for us being different sub-species, let alone species. Humans might have diverse phenotypes, but we’re extremely genetically alike compared to other species.

        Dog breeds have less genetic diversity between them than cat breeds do. Dogs just have a lot of traits that small genetic changes lead to large phenotypic differences.

        Its just easier to make dogs look different than most animals

        They have more chromosomes and the nature of their variation is different compared to humans. A professor of mine talked about it, there are some peculiarities that make stuff like breeding on dogs possible.

        As well, if dogs are left to mate independently in the wild after a few generations they return to looking like wolfies.

          I know coyotes are just wild dogs (they can breed with pet dogs), and tbh dogs looking more like coyotes would be a good thing, they and wolves are cute and charismatic already

        Not to mention that dog breeds were usually the result of centuries of incest and eugenics, Africa is the most genetically diverse continent as a whole so it’s not like those bad bad black people can even remotely be called a “breed” of humans. On top of that, why is it that those bad bad black people usually are more genetically different from other bad bad black people than the wholesome chungus whites?

        Regardless, usually I find that these evolutionary psychologists are Christians, and therefore believe in free will. Wouldn’t it be blasphemy to make such sweeping judgments about large swathes of people, writing them off as ‘all the same’?

          In my experience the free will stuff is more often understood as an ad hoc justification for why their leadership gets to wash their hands of any and all responsibility for the suffering around them

          You know, I’ve started to realize something…a lot of negative stereotypes about different races, are all admirable qualities in white culture.

          • Anything a black person would do that would get him called the N-word? If a white guy did it, he would be praised for being manly.

          • Just about any antisemitic stereotype you can think of about Jews, white people have done. And proudly. Case study: Old Money WASPs that people say with a straight face are the real oppressed group. Right down to the whole ‘crying out in pain as they strike you’ bit.

      Of course, they won’t accept it unless their race gets all the good stat bonuses.

      But in a way, white people are the altmer of IRL and damn do we need Ysgramor right now.

      The evopsych professor back in 2011 in Cal State Long Beach back when I was in undergrad was an outright white supremacist who the school refused to remove despite multiple racial incidents

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_MacDonald_(evolutionary_psychologist)

      My favorite psych professor who despite my low grades was super supportive about of me throughout undergrad, told me that all Evopsych is racist and garbage and to ignore it.

      evopsych is obvious horsehit from the word go because humans are the least instinctual animals around. If our behavior was defined so thoroughly through genetics, our languages would all act similarly most likely. They obviously don’t do that so more complex, though driven pursuits like gaining a surplus of wealth or wheat obviously can’t be operating this way. it also assumes evolution is trying to make ou perfect for you environment, rather than just being a system that does whatever the fuck doesn’t get you killed before reproducing. All these sex-based modifications of behavior only work if the women are primed to accept these kinds of displays, so there’s no reason westoids wouldn’t also do it because this implies all women naturally are. Ironically, this would suggest black men make more sexually desirable partners in this nutjob’s worldview, so he’s either got an inferiority complex he’s covering up by being the"übermensch" who acts like an ant, or he’s a cuck.

    I’m glad that this is what bluechecks are now, it just feels more honest

    my guy doesn’t even know his racist psuedoscience particularly well, “evolutionary pressures” are outside factors, so they do stop, it would be the evolved responses to those pressures that can continue even after the outside pressures have abated (if evolution and human behavior worked like that which it decidedly does not).

    Also, does he realize that valuable possessions are literally what net worth is? its not just your savings account… I mean sure, jordans and cars are generally going to depreciate more than houses, but they also don’t cost nearly the same amount of money,so theres still a humongous gap there

    Not worth engaging it on its own level but whatever I can’t resist.

    This ignores the existence of El Niño. Non-equatorial climates are incredibly stable and periodic compared to the alternating unpredictable aperiodicity of flooding then drought brought around every few years by El Niño and La Niña. To exist in equatorial climates is basically to live on Trisolaris. You have no idea if next year the land you’ve cultivated for the past two decades will suddenly become an arid wasteland. You have to be incredibly resourceful to survive in such a regime, and a lot of people didn’t. For more on this and British mismanagement of regions subject to ENSO pressures because they had no idea wtf it was (so they eliminated the vast ancestral community food stores for efficiency) read Late Victorian Holocausts.

    Compare that with storing enough food for the winter that comes, regular as the tides, lasting roughly the same amount of time every year. Oooooooh so hard to plan for. Soft as baby shit.

    Bling gap

    Wouldn’t those items also hold value and therefore be attributed to the net worth?

    Trigger deadly encounters

    Don’t you come from the race that’s famous for it’s genocidal arrogance? You openly brag about the Holocaust, chattel slavery, and the lynching you do unprovoked all the time. And why? What have black people as a collective actually ever done to you, completely unprovoked?
