No you see it's literally all of the field of anthropology that's wrong, whereas I'm right because I say so and if you disagree you're just blinded by ideology.


Fun fact, if you change anthropology to another science you can construct about 90% of right-winger arguments this way.

Humans (and all social animals) simply compete dominance once or every once in a while, establish the hierarchy, and then cooperate under the terms of the dominant individual. That's how it worked in the stone age, that's how it works in modern democracy.

Nobody actually wants equality. The strong and the rich obviously don't want equality. Even the weak and the poor who would benefit from equality, don't really want equality, more likely they just selfishly want more stuff. Everybody, every organism is selfish. Every ideology that tries to ignore or change that fact, fails spectacularly.

Equality is in the interests of the weak because in they get more of everything in a system that upholds it. Like this is basic evolutionary stuff, those who maximize the resources they can get produce more healthy offspring and so their strategies carry on as well. For dominant individuals to be a thing, the rest of the individuals must be unable to challenge them without statistically losing more than they gain. It became impossible for a dominant individual to build harems once the weak conspiring together could get rid of any such individual and distribute their stuff among themselves without damaging the ability of the tribe to gather resources more than that dominant individual had reserved for themselves. At best, the strong could rule as a bloc that could defend itself from the bloc of the weak, but a tribe engaged in that kind of internal warfare would be unstable and ineffective so it was not generally a productive strategy for strong individuals to fight the rest but to be exemplary supporters of the rest and maximize the resources they individually got that way.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

The youth organization of the True Finns tweeted this some time ago:



This etno-nationalistic take has created unintended consequences in the effect of officials rethinking about their funding. Halla-aho and his ilk have condemned the tweet, hoping they'd "grow up" and that this might be the "countdown for misogynists to leave". How much this is actually a thing remains to be seen.

This gives Mestari the perfect cover. He can condemn the tweet and look like he cares about being Not Racist so that he doesn't have to touch his own party.

Looks like I was right about Kepu getting maakunnat from SDP in exchange for their cooperation. :coolfish:

In addition, as I sit here drinking iso G vissyllä, I believe I've reached a conclusion: I have no real political, or any other kind, of opinions. Just a bunch of lies told in turn to myself and others.

:laffo: we might get our own Dana Rohrabacher:

https://www.is.fi/politiikka/art-2000006123568.html

quote:

PACKALÉN epäili 2014, ettei Venäjän joukkoja ole Ukrainassa. Hän on myös ihmetellyt, miksi Venäjää on syytetty malesialaisen matkustajakoneen alasampumisesta tai Salisburyn myrkkyiskusta.

He might be the next chairman of the parliament's foreign affairs committee.

Although Rohrabacher's probably just bought and paid for. Packalén seems like a useful idiot.
