President Elon Musk

You're just being dishonest now. You really are a troll. You get to just magically introduce the idea that prison means a life sentence?

It's that you lumped all Asians together.

That's bad.

Dude, your study showed people adjusted when they were assigned jobs as wheat farmers. Singaporans got jobs as stock brokers.

lol talking about Singaporeans, it's clear the comment is related to them

the study tells you that just a generation creates a divide.

now do 3-4 millennia, and what family culture you get from that, then you move to Singapore and just 100 years passed.

the culture you have will be the ultra -collectivist one and without any violent external enforcing of something else, that's very sticky in a Lamarckian way within families.

Now you're just making **** up and, unsurprisingly, it's racist and wrong.

You were right that something like rice farming affects culture. And you found a beautiful study showing how well and quickly humans adjust to different conditions.

you got the take way of the study wrong.

we always knew it had some significant effect.

the study shows it affects people just in a generation in very measurable ways.

so imagine in millennia like southern china.

in Singapore people aren't randomly assigned, violently, to activities. they can express their preferences.

so their family culture will stay without being eroded or moved

i didn't read luc's article but as i said earlier this is a widely known thing in asia that's brought up often

and it talks about the cultural and genetic foundation of the two are based in what it took to survive 1,000 years ago in those areas of either being a badass or a collectivist depending on the region and those traits were passed down

the timid and diplomatic would be exploited and less likely to pass on genes in the north and likewise the obstinate and violent would find themselves excluded and less likely to pass down their genes as well

singapore is dominated by southern chinese who come from the rice farming cohort

I don't imagine that it adds up after generations like that. You would think that a little wheat farming would have a hard time making a dent in all that rice farming if it did.

You got the wrong takeaway because you think everything is about genetics, which is what ultra right wingers like you and the Nazis think.

You don't have to read it all. This is from Luciom's excerpt:

"The differences suggest rice-wheat cultural differences can form in a single generation."

Luciom posts:

"The differences suggest rice-wheat cultural differences can form in a single generation."

and then, woah, turns out it's sticky and builds up over millennia and Singaporeans need a thousand years of stock trading to form cultural differences.

Where to? You'd have been getting tossed in a foxhole somewhere. If we even would've taken you it wasn't going to be letting you sit around at that point. Put the new guy on point--if you hear any Italian start talking then duck when we start shooting 😀

did a mod delete my response?

Well I’m glad you clarify it because I often read u « mostly » agree (or sympathies) with Luciom on previous post you made .
Refreshing after all you don’t .

Ps: you should really start reading people instead of assuming all post on you trying to gaslight you in some insults of some kind .
It usually isn’t despite the many attempt you do it on me and other without much reasons lately ….

bruh, i literally said i wanted a strong competent government

luc says he wants no government

this all happened in the last few posts before you chimed in

just be a man, say you jumped in without reading anything and say "my bad" instead of coming up with this kind of sad excuse for a response

lol my bad mods, sorry for accusation, i found it in another tab unposted

did not read, don't know the science, just know what is commonly accepted as how to describe the difference between northern and southern chinese (there are genetic markers as well)

but i also don't think the two thing would necessarily be mutually exclusive

the local dynamics could be strong enough that they are necessitated to swap once they transition from one to the other, but when not swapping, just relocating, i could see them retaining their cultures

idk if they grow much rice in singapore, and if so the chinese who emigrated there and run the show aren't likely to be farming, but they absolutely do not grow wheat there

As long it’s law you agree with .
U would please yourself in Saudi Arabia and the like .
They love your kind of justice .
You’re in great company ….

Singapore is a city, not farmland and the Chinese do finance and business and **** and they have Malaysian indentured servants to do all the work. Pretty much.

Wheat farming wasn't the one singular key to undoing the rice farming gene.

Fascism too it seem .

What I’m talking about is from previous weeks up to today .
But « my bad »….

singapore was still more farmland than urban until the 1980s bruh

The 1980s were a long time ago.

That picture was from before I was born and I'm really old.

but also, i've long posted about wanting strong government control over things necessary for society - i've posted about these views for years

he says "asians are more predisposed to collectivism" and you guys scream "racist mussolini"

and i respond with - no he's actually talking about facts and something no asian would ever dispute because they say it too

and you think because i call you out on your bs that i'm allies with him and agree with everything when in fact we agree on very little

i feel like cartman visiting sf whenever i venture into the politics threads here because you guys are ridiculous, like to ignore common sense and fact, eager to label everything racist

there's no reason why any of you can't post more like roc and ignore the hyperbolic ad hominen attacks and just stick to discussing the issues

Ah, so the positive things you've said about Musk and DOGE you said because you think Trump and Musk will fix the wealth inequality gap in America?

lol nice framing there, you'll sadly need to show your work on that

my positions have been posted, you can easily review them
