I really wish the left would stop with all this ridiculous speculation because it just plays into the rights belief about "fake news" and disinformation campaigns that the left runs. There is more than enough verified dirt on Trump to focus on than these ridiculous speculative areas. A decent proportion end up being incorrect and then the right just uses that to suggest all the info is fake.

neither the speculative nor non-speculative areas of focus have any impact whatsoever on the right.

because in america in 2018, the right is a cult.

and once everyone to the left of hank hill votes in 2018 and 2020, we will regard the entirety of the republican belief system with all the deference and respect we offer the KKK.

in the meantime.... *puts on lobster bib and re-reads fire and fury*.

Except these statements are not entirely true. Trust me I've looked for studies both psychological and political proving that right wingers are more dogmatic and less critical thinkers. But really from everything I see such factors do not seem to be associated with political view. If you have that information please do provide but I sure as hell havn't been able to find anything remotely like that. Evidence just keeps suggesting there are just as many cultish voters on the left as well.

*points at the white house and the wholesale acceptance of everything thats happened in the last year by the fly-over right*


also i have no idea what you consider to be cultish at this point.

find me a mainstream left winger who doesnt believe in science and then resubmit your thesis.

Googlers,
I’m Danielle, Google’s brand new VP of Diversity, Integrity & Governance. I started just a couple of weeks ago, and I had hoped to take another week or so to get the lay of the land before introducing myself to you all. But given the heated debate we’ve seen over the past few days, I feel compelled to say a few words.
Many of you have read an internal document shared by someone in our engineering organization, expressing views on the natural abilities and characteristics of different genders, as well as whether one can speak freely of these things at Google. And like many of you, I found that it advanced incorrect assumptions about gender. I’m not going to link to it here as it’s not a viewpoint that I or this company endorses, promotes or encourages.
Diversity and inclusion are a fundamental part of our values and the culture we continue to cultivate. We are unequivocal in our belief that diversity and inclusion are critical to our success as a company, and we’ll continue to stand for that and be committed to it for the long haul. As Ari Balogh said in his internal G+ post, “Building an open, inclusive environment is core to who we are, and the right thing to do. ‘Nuff said.”
Google has taken a strong stand on this issue, by releasing its demographic data and creating a company wide OKR on diversity and inclusion. Strong stands elicit strong reactions. Changing a culture is hard, and it’s often uncomfortable. But I firmly believe Google is doing the right thing, and that’s why I took this job.
Part of building an open, inclusive environment means fostering a culture in which those with alternative views, including different political views, feel safe sharing their opinions. But that discourse needs to work alongside the principles of equal employment found in our Code of Conduct, policies, and anti-discrimination laws.
I’ve been in the industry for a long time, and I can tell you that I’ve never worked at a company that has so many platforms for employees to express themselves — TGIF, Memegen, internal G+, thousands of discussion groups. I know this conversation doesn’t end with my email today. I look forward to continuing to hear your thoughts as I settle in and meet with Googlers across the company.
Thanks,
Danielle

-Exhibit A. As I am assuming she is not a rogue operative, this indicates the entire management of Google does not endorse scientific views that do not support their narrative.

I actually believe that the typical left and right wing extremist is equally cultish in their beliefs systems. For the most part you pick your tribe and then you follow its core tenants without question. This is how basic human nature works. One argument that you could reasonably make is that leftist extremists are more moral and their value systems are better. I think you can reasonably argue that leftist extremists really are trying to improve the lot of humanity and make the world a better place. I think it would be much harder to make this argument for right wing extremists today.

That being said I think the cynical "right wing" view of humanity to be the more accurate one. IMO the more optimistic radical left wing viewpoints rely on very incorrect assumptions about humanity, and as such will always be perverted in practice and inevitably result in things getting worse.

There are plenty who buy into the whole foods, homeopathy, GMO crap. Not too mention all the new age pseudoscience BS.

[BetCheckBet]

Anyways like I said this is not my opinion its what the research shows. I used to believe the same as you until I took the time to try and validate my views.

And yes until I quoted my article I didn;t even think of Steven Pinker. The Blank Slate is a great example of how leftists ignore science from a evolutionary perspective.

I was super stoked to pull up a list of his articles and be like HAH *THIS* IS WHO YOU ARE CITING and was immediately confronted with a wall of shit i agreed with.

I'll read this as opportunity allows, but definitely intrigued.

This is the fringe left and they are ruthlessly dragged for it and represent a profoundly minority slice of the left wing spectrum.

My exact point is that the right wing equivalent to these yahoos is very much mainstream right wing culture right now.

I don't disagree that mainstream right wing culture is shit. I honestly think though it's more a result of group think and they are doing all they can to hang on to power.
