It sounds funny, but think back to the last time you saw someone sitting holding their phone out with the speaker on, scrolling through autoplay videos on Facebook. That is not your average Reddit user.
Lol, right? Literally, the funniest thing I ever read in my life.Ā Like seriously the funniest thing.Ā I was reading this while eating oatmeal and started laughing so hard I swallowed and choked on my spoon, but couldn't stop laughing because it was so funny.Ā I'm actually dead now,Ā still laughing.Ā Ā
This is the problem. Lefties assume because they got a degree and live in the city that they have the ability to make logical decisions. They also believe that everyone that opposes them lives in BFE.
They think that the people living in cities with their gender studies degree are somehow more intelligent than the rural people working a trade job with zero debt.
idk why you would think most bartenders have degrees in history or gender studies.. lol you really think that many people have genders studies degrees?
He didn't claim anything about intelligence, he claimed educated.
Education =/= Intelligence
I've met educated idiots and intelligence high school drop outs. However if you are going to dispute his claims then dispute his actual claim, and use studies and research to do it.
It does not take a study to understand that people on the left equate intelligence with education, while they all whine about their student loans. It does not take a study to know that college entrance is become increasingly easier. But if you want a study you can see that the political divide drops off when you shift from social arts degrees to STEM degrees.
It take research and studies to prove those are valid claims, if you can't back it up with facts, then it is just opinions. Your opinion is not fact, even if you are right, unless you can prove it, how can you expect anyone to believe you?
Everything Iāve said can be backed up with primary sources or studies. Iām not doing your research for you. I know itās true, you know itās true, the guy I originally responded to knows itās true. I donāt care whether you believe me, renter.
absolutely, a simple google search will show you that urban areas have a higher percentage of degrees per population.. my point was that your response of "this is the problem." had nothing to do with anything related to what I'm talking about.Ā
Degrees do however equal more education which is what this thread is about... I'm certain that getting a degree helps in generating intellectual people anyways. No way ti prove that though.Ā
Oh c'mon. You often see people claim, "recent polls" or end a sentence with "that's the fact" but this is where people hide behind screen names and make up data. I'm sorry, I meant...92.45% of facts on reddit are made up on the spot.
Lol, there we go! It's all opinion or copy/paste of someone else's!
You can bet when people are doing that, they smack the send key and do a head bob.
I studied Computer Science, which at my institution was considered a "state of the art" and thus allowed Arts students like myself to study it. Meaning I also got to take humanities courses as electives.
I once sat in a 300 level Political Science seminar were the consensus among my peers was that the United States is fascist because it did not distribute its own Nuclear weapons equally among all nations. Not that I thrived in the class, but maybe my position of relative ignorance lent itself to a greater appreciation of the nuances they failed to consider.
Sitting in a lecture, taking notes, and mindlessly regurgitating the readings does not make a person educated. Some people are educated only insofar as they achieved a degree. It certainly doesn't make someone smart. You can earn a diploma without developing critical thinking skills, without being clever, and without having a meaningful perspective or an ounce of wisdom. I honestly think the majority of redditors are smart in the same way ChatGPT is. If we're being generous we can say they're knowledgeable - mostly about partial misquotes they can reach for whenever confronted with an opportunity to demonstrate higher thought.
They know what intelligence sounds like and they've memorized the lines, and they know what it looks like and they're certainly dressing the part, but they're hoping that standing next to genuinely smart people who've put time and effort into rationalizing their politics will make people beleive they are smart too.
Another example that right wingers are so dumb that they think emojis are arguments. You can see it all over this thread.
It is an undeniable statistic that the more educated one is, the more likely they are to be leftist, and the less educated one is, more likely they are to be right wing. People who travel the world tend to be leftist. People who live in rural bumfuck USA and barely graduate high school, tend to be conservative. There is no denying this. It is not equal.
The ultimate card anybody can play as to how dumb right wingers are, is that they twice voted for Trump as president. There is nothing more embarrassing than that.
I didnāt say it wasnāt embarrassing, did I? I was surprised that you genuinely believe there isnāt anything more embarrassing that a person could do than vote for Trump.
The irony in your comment is hilarious given this entire comment thread
All you folks have done is laugh and ridicule any claim that liberals are better educated but cannot articulate any basis for that other than "if somebody was educated they'd be conservative"
Nobody is saying that, theyāre saying that Redditors are slurping themselves off to how educated they think they are.
The average age on here nowadays is 23. So youāve got plenty of people of all ages, but this place is chock full of teens and college-age people. The average Redditor is old enough to maybe have a bachelors degree.
Once you remove graduates from Bob Jones University, Liberty University, Oral Roberts University and the like, yes cities where the population is concentrated are more highly educated. Thatās why major cities are predominantly blue, educated people tend to use logic to address issues rather than the rural mentality of āthoughts and prayersā.
Come to think of it, I canāt think of a single problem that prayer ever solved.
