Only ancient ones though. Modern ones crossbred with the ottomans too much and are now lazy and shiftless.

The whole "leftism is about feelings and heart while the right is about facts and logic" thing is fuckin' great because the entire point of at least Marxism is that it's an objective scientific method to analyze society with and has properly reasoned out conclusions about why things are the way they are, how they're gonna gently caress up, and how to fix it. It's not some nebulous "oh it just feels morally right if everyone's equal", it's loving science with data and verifiable hypotheses and all that other poo poo stemlords love.

my dad is "only" in his mid 60's and ive had to basically snatch the phone out of his hands twice because he was on the phone with obvious scammers because "windows support told him to call about computer problems" or junk mail from an unknown company told him he had some mysterious debt. i was lucky as hell to catch him in the act before he lost a ton of money but it felt weird to have to give one of my parents "the talk" after a lifetime of it being the other way around. scammers just come at old people from all angles all the time and my grandma even fell for a couple so you'd think he'd know better from having seen her, but seeing it happen to somebody else isn't the same as being targeted yourself and having to decide how to handle it i guess.

I remember this one dude, had to be in his late 70s, bought a computer and literally the same day got a call from "Dell" and they talked him into not only taking control of his brand new rear end computer but convinced him to make a thousand dollar check and hold it up to the camera.

it's almost like 'populism' isn't a measure of anything helpful. it's like the libertarian/authoritarian axis on the one meme chart; it's reductionism with a political agenda.

you gotta post the methodology cause it's :discourse:

Methodology
This quiz uses questions devised by academics who belong to Team Populism, a scholarly grouping from around the world. Your responses are used to situate you on a grid which plots your position on a left-right ideological axis against your position on an axis representing degrees of populism. For the example responses by prominent position, we asked a number of experts to take the same quiz as if they were the politician in question.
