Easy: when redpill posts it then it’s bullshit.

Would you like to tell us your IQ and regale us with tales of your various conquests?

  Sure.  But it is looking like your are going to have to do it over at The Truth Zone Forum.  Because I don't expect to be here long.  One reason why can be found in the life sciences section.  I did a thread called "The Negro Disease."  I invite you to read it.

It had already been removed. Was it this?: https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/pdf/2017-...lsigns.pdf
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

It emphatically was NOT that.

OK he is banned, but why on earth does anyone subscribe to such nonsense? When it is so clearly nonsense? WTF?


Even at a practical level, non-whites (ignoring that absurdity that they are somehow a separate species) were a serious conflict to happen between the white supremacist idiots and even China alone, the white twits would get wiped. Sheer numbers guarantee that, all of their lonesome. 

It is merely a matter of scale.

Alas, simple numbers are not a thing that rp even vaguely understands.

Depends. Beyond the easy answer of dumbshits gotta dumbshit, the ideology is (sometimes) well packaged and smuggled into venues where it can siphon credibility. Scientific racism is still racism, but it hit's the "scientific" "skepticism" and "dumbshit" buttons. It's a powerful trifecta. Then...you add in a little freeze peach, and you have a four course meal.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

But then I'm guessing that you attempt little convincing and rely on demanding.


  No.  I get banned because I can't be defeated in debate.  Being unable to defeat me, they ban me.

You certainly were defecated in debate.

Truth is whatever you say is true, as long as you really believe it to be the truth.

That is why people follow religions in the face of overwhelming evidence that proves that what is in religious texts could not have happened. Same goes for people who deny the Theory of Evolution.

You believe truth is subjective?

In the vast majority of cases, yes.

If there is a blue ball then most people will agree it is a blue ball, and if someone says it's not blue or a ball then they're just messing about or have some medical condition for them to say that.

In most cases however people's opinions come into play, and are affected by a wide variety of factors (bias being a major one), so one persons "truth" is another persons falsehood, and vice-versa.

If truth was subjective, I wouldn't call it "truth".

The word you're looking for is "opinion".
