you can have right of center views on certain issues and still be a leftists is some others. Thats literally the definition of a centrist, a political outlook or specific position that involves acceptance or support of a balance of a degree of social equality and a degree of social hierarchy, while opposing political changes which would result in a significant shift of society strongly to either the left or the right.

These papers r interesting but they seem more correlative than mechanistic. Either way it's good research so I can't hate

Ngl I only read parts of the first one and the abstract of the second two. When I say mechanistic i mean either molecular or genetic studies that explain exactly why you see differences in certain populations.

gotcha, youre more interested in the neuroschience and biology of it.

Yea he is a psycologist so he might not be ur guy on that stuff. He is very knowledgeable in personality and behavioral disorders.

other than that, he is on or off with other topics. Some good, some bad takes.

Yo OP, I’m Dominican as well, and you should tell your aunt this.
When Police see us, they don’t see our nations flag, our culture, they see our color.
They can hear our language, and treat us even worse in some cases.
We can’t deny our African roots; it’s something to be taken in with Pride, and something we share with our Black brothers and sisters. Something we should be uniting in. For a licensed psychiatrist, she should be ashamed of herself. I can’t begin to imagine how she treats her black patients

I would but I think she’s too far gone, especially what she sent to a group chat for the adults in the family (ill talk about them in a sec)

Ok so my aunt sent a text to the group chat for the adults in the family. Im excluded from it and my mom wouldnt allow me to screenshot or send text to myself, but ill summarize all her stupid f***ing points in her weird essay.

-BLM and the Ava DuVernay documentary 13 is leftist propaganda
-Assata Shakur was rightly arrested
-systemic racism is not real
-black immigrants would not come to america if systemic racism was real
-nazi germany was leftist

She sent this knowing her sister is married to a black man with three kids and my mom is engaged to a Haitian. She sent this knowing my f***ing father was harassed by the system and lost the ability to ever apply for citizenship cause of a felony he didn’t even commit. She is a self-hating racist c*** and I have lost all my respect for her. I hope her daughter doesn’t fall for this bullshit

I think - in her mind - shes teaching your sister an important life lesson through peterson

13 is an important year in development. your aunt is saying "you're growing up, time to learn about the world you life in."

it's also some kind of narcisistic thing like, "look at how smart I am". My grandmother did the same thing, giving me random books she has "read".

Considering what s*** she saying now I do not want her to give life advice to my sisters period

it's what aunts do. my uncle gave me stupid advice I ignored too. you really think your sister gives a f*** about jordan? just ignore it.

• dont know about ava but blm was hijacked by looters and antifa, while the original founders left. been a s***show since.

• literally how can you defend assata. she herself admitted wrongdoing

• depends on how she said it. theres definitely racists in power so she kinda wrong here

• shes wrong there. just compare america to africa

• shes wrong here again, nazism is FAR right what did she even base that off? I think your aunt might be reading a contrarian blog

The Nazi thing made me yell out loud this b**** smoking rocks

nazi germany was leftist

If I, a stranger on the internet, can ever learn you a lesson it will be this: don't waste your time on idiots, just nod and keep it moving

Its gonna be awkward as hell at the next family get together

nah just chill with the rest of the fam lol stay respectful to her tho, it never hurts to be respectful even if you despise someone. and you never know, maybe its just a phase for her anway lol. my dad still thinks he's a teenager sometimes too lol. rebelling, like's she's doing is a part of growing up mentally. shes just a bit late

Thats some weird point the right extremists regularly make on the internet coz they are called nazis and dont want to be labeled as them lol

National socialists aint no left wing socialists/socialdemocratics. But they do say nazi's left wing only cause of the socialist in the name
So that these right extremists cant be labeled nazis lol, "cause they socialists"

Weirdos lmao

Jordan Peterson is a cancer to society. Can't believe there are so many people being brainwashed by this lunatic

what does he do wrong exactly besides his religious pandering. im not a fan of him but genuinely curious

They quite literally burned down the "Reichstagsgebäude" and framed every left leaning party for it. They were quite the opposite (right)

and the funny part is, you probably have some Haitian ancestors. Yeesh

yeah she’s so far gone wtf ?
i know that’s blood, but you better off cutting ties with her if she’s gonna keep pushing her political views onto others
