IQ is a fucking terrible metric, for once, but has he ever wondered why that's the case?? Can this guy not see that they have one of the worst living conditions on this planet?

๐Ÿคข I've had enough of these fascists, we had the Canadian NaziGate and now plenty more excuses to outright flatten Palestine.

Wall. Now. (Or 100 years of labor camp)

Also the average age in Gaza is 18, so even if IQ were a metric that was actually real and mattered, you're doing an IQ test on children

they normalize it for this reason against your age group but it's still a test that presumes you're as educated as a wealthy, white European that's as old as you are.

oh didn't see that. but still completely useless measurement, like meyers-briggs. as you point out, the creators of the test define intelligence based on white/euro ideals, then test others based on that useless setup

IQ tests score your ability to take an IQ test

It's like when chuds look at the US locking up black people at, like, 6 times the rate of white people, then insist it's not the result of systemic racism but instead a confirmation of their own racist beliefs.

"Yeah America just has 5 times the amount of violent criminals as other societies, which is why we need 5 times the prisoners per capita. Why does it have so much more criminals? Anything to do with poverty or the arrangement of society? Nope, it's because America isn't "homogenous" ๐Ÿ’€ ๐Ÿ’€ ๐Ÿ’€

"Homogenous" is used as cover so much. I've even heard libs use it. Usually why as tge reason we can't do "nordic socialism" because we aren't "homogeneous" like them

Anyone using this racist ass framing needs to be put into a giant blender and homogenised
