The "social sciences" are a massive hugbox for women and minorities who are too dumb for more rigorous fields.

When students admitted under affirmative action initiatives started failing out the university administration had to create the intellectual equivalent of a bunny slope.

Write a politically correct essay, but reference authors and books with extreme viewpoints and see if they notice it. Like this:
The violence against people of colour and indigenous communities follows the structural patterns of Jew-hatred in Nazi Germany. (Alfred Rosenberg, The Myth of the Twentieth Century, p. 347)

It's literally the exact opposite. Social "science" (put economics, sociology, and psychology here along with the usual suspects) takes the veneer and superficial methodology of real science to put forth unfalsifiable, therefore unscientific, claims into the world. The definitions of scientism:

An exaggerated trust in the efficacy of the methods of natural science applied to all areas of investigation, as in philosophy, the social sciences, and the humanities.[55]
The use of scientific or pseudoscientific language.[57]
The contention that the social sciences, such as economics and sociology, are only properly sciences when they abide by the somewhat stricter interpretation of scientific method used by the natural sciences, and that otherwise they are not truly sciences.[58]
"A term applied (freq. in a derogatory manner) to a belief in the omnipotence of scientific knowledge and techniques; also to the view that the methods of study appropriate to physical science can replace those used in other fields such as philosophy and, esp., human behaviour and the social sciences."[59]

Guys.

If you wnat to raise your GPA study Mathematics.

I am NOT memeing you. Mathematics has no labs, no class discussions, usually no practices with required attendances. Mathematics exams are predictable, everyone with an average IQ can study for them and there is no excuse to not get top marks. You'll have to be a bit more shrewd for your Bachelor thesis but apart from this Mathematics is a degree that can be finished with top marks if you put predictable effort into it. Bonus points: it might actually have economic (job finding) uses and opens many doors in postgraduate study.

I continued with medicine.

White people ended slavery. Tell me of one people that didn't enslave. Additionally Jews aren't even whites.

Ending slavery was a mistake, of course, but you should still kiss our feet for allowing the black man-apes to live. No other rational society would have done that. Imagine for a second what the Chinese would have done if they went to Africa. Hell, black themselves would have eradicated each others by now, if the whites didn't save them from their disease ridden continent with medicine, blue helmets and food every single day.

>believed to be the first one erected to the Italian explorer in America
>A video posted to YouTube on Monday by a user named “Popular Resistance” shows a man striking the base of the monument near Herring Run Park repeatedly with a sledgehammer. Another person holds a sign that reads: “Racism, tear it down.” Another sign is taped to the monument reading: “The future is racial and economic justice.”

We're past the point where banal anti-racist rhetoric is useful. This has nothing to do with race, this is just a street fight between the cultural barbarians who find pleasure in raping our history, and sensible people. Don't placate your teachers OP; every time a student writes a paper agreeing with these sentiments, all it does is increase the atmospheric levels of anti-Western sentiment.

Politics permeates everything now. Since God and religion died in the West, people have been actively searching for alternative sources of meaning, whether it be political or tribal. So you can't talk about literature now without talking about politics, just like you can't talk about medieval literature without talking about The Church.

>a lot of genuine marxists are anti-intersectionality
I'm aware of this and that's mostly because they believe class to be the great equalizer. I think you could shake that belief by simply looking at the lives, roles, and legislation that affected working whites vs working blacks or working women vs working men throughout the 20th century.

>>9926317
People have an inherent propensity to invest things with meaning as evidenced by the ubiquity of religious practices throughout almost all of human history. A lot of evolutionary psychologists argue that this is an evolved trait that aided survival. Their thesis is that if you were a primordial man wandering the savannah and you heard a rustling sound in some bushes, you could have one of two responses: either it was just a rustling sound in some random bushes that foretold nothing (which if false, lead to you being removed from the gene pool), or it was a snake hiding and you should escape as quickly as possible (which if false, lead to just some wasted energy). So our evolutionary history imbued the world with meaning for us both as motivation for survival and propagation, but also as a mechanism for avoiding possible dangers even if it lead to false positives.

So if people have an inherent need to view the world through the prism of possible dangers (and more so women, who are physically weaker and also have to ensure their children's survival), then that would inevitably lead to the hysteria we're seeing now. And if we as human beings have an inherent physiological need for communal practices that imbue icons with symbolic meaning, then that need would inevitably be replaced by debates like which Civil War statues are sacred and which are profane.

There's also a communal trust aspect to religion that flat-out necessitates a political replacement:
>Religion, Fukuyama argues, arises from the innate human propensity to follow rules and to invest those rules with powerful emotional significance. As a consequence, individuals can anticipate the moral behavior of unknown members of their faith community. It was thus that religion made possible the transition of human society from family bands, in which cooperation is based on personal knowledge of every community member, to larger groups where the good faith of others must usually be taken on trust.

Numerous psychologists and philosophers have been saying since Nietzsche declared the death of God that secular replacements are inevitable. Some even go as far as to say that Nazism, communism, racial identitarianism, etc. were all systems people oriented themselves around after the religion-shaped nihilistic hole Christianity's decline left behind. Dostoevsky is the best chronicler of that process.

This could all be nonsense (i'm not a philosopher, sociologist, psychologist, or theologian), but I think there are important elements of truth to what i'm saying even if i'm not well-versed enough in various disciplines to work out the details.

I have no clue what you're arguing for because, as you said, I said one sentence. I didn't participate in the hugbox debate. Nobody will engage me if I provide more than a sentence and they will try and simply analyse the debate and not learn anything. Leftists are mostly analytical philosophers by tradition, they don't care about the whole picture, just about looking post modernist enough.

Not really. The US cannot really collapse, it can only become something more pathological, which will be even worse for the inferior states they abuse.

>50-80% of intelligence is determined by genes
No. It's HERITABILITY is determined by the genes of parents. Look up what that word means, it's not what most people think it means. It has to do with variation not actual probability of gene inheritance. http://geniusblog.davidshenk.com/2009/06/a-heritable-muddle.html
This article clears this up.

>IQ is by no means a perfect way of measuring intelligence, but it certainly influences socioeconomic mobility (ability to advance in the workplace, make good decisions with money, and so on)
IQ can change. It's accepted to have a cultural bias because it was developed by one culture and different cultures value different skills. It wasn't developed in a vacuum. It has known biases and has been shown not to do a very good job of testing for actual raw intellectual ability. Check out the Flynn effect. Black/White IQ test gaps are closing and the test scores on the whole are rising. Are everyone's genes getting better? Is everyone getting smarter all of the sudden? No, education starts earlier, parents are better equipped to raise children, ect.

>IQ isn't a test of raw intelligence, which again isn't 80% determined by genes.
>Blacks have lower IQ scores.
>IQ correlates to social mobility.
>As quality of life and standard education has improved as a whole, so have test scores
So with the genetic argument disproven, do you think it might be possible that as educational opportunities for blacks have gotten better, it's made parents of black children smarter and more capable to raise kids smarter than them? Which would imply that black american's low IQ scores were a result of their historic lack of opportunity, recently remedied an continuing to get better.

>>9926738
>IQ can change
the flynn effect is also very limited. it typically changes from ~70 to ~85 when sub-saharan africans are given proper living conditions. this is because of a better access to material resources and education, but it doesn't modify the underlying question of heritability (thank you for correcting me on the terminology). there clearly comes a point when the progression ends and significant differences between races exist, as is evident by the studies of IQ disparities for people of different races at the same income levels, studies of first and second generation immigrants to economically developed countries like denmark, and nearly every trans-racial adoption study that has occurred. Not to mention the absolute failure of affirmative action (at least as far as 'racial leveling' goes) in US universities. ones to the contrary are almost always comically flawed. would you at least concede to say that the flynn effect will not result in the IQ leveling of a room full of, say, half Japanese and half Congolese children with the same quality of life and education?
>cultural bias
are you seriously going to argue this point? IQ is only culturally imbued in that it was developed by a specific culture. IQ is not measure 'how to succeed in a western culture' so much as it measures actual cognitive capacities. There's a significant difference between measuring someone's reaction time and their ability to carry out 'western' tasks. also, larger average brain sizes for a race = higher average intelligence of that race with few exceptions.
and if it's so culturally biased why do you think that east asians outperform the culture that developed the test?
>do you think it might be possible that as educational opportunities for blacks have gotten better, it's made parents of black children smarter and more capable to raise kids smarter than them?
yes, that is the flynn effect. but the progression ends and races have very different underlying intellectual capacities. just like they have physical differences.

see "Thirty years of research on race differences in cognitive ability" by rushton and jensen for the specific studies.

>>9926971
The Flynn effect doesn't change the IQ disparities between races, all it states is that we have a higher IQ in absolute terms. That includes blacks and whites

>>9926974
but then why do you claim that the genetic argument has been disproved if the flynn effect leaves significant IQ disparities between races? haven't the genetic influences on these numbers been distinguished from the environmental ones?
>black american's low IQ scores were a result of their historic lack of opportunity, recently remedied and continuing to get better.
underlying racial disparities in IQ have been much more influential on these IQ scores than the class differences between blacks and whites since explicit racial discrimination ended around the 1960s.

>>9927071
I didn't claim anything. I'm not the guy you were arguing with. I was just clarifying one of your points

>>9926971
The only reason why american niggers have 15 points higher iq is because they are mixed race. Every 30% yas queen mullato with an afro is counted as black

There are a ton of great suggestions in this thread OP. Write something satirical, make wild claims like then give a polarizing source (like the Rosenberg one below) or drive them mad: talk about "historical views whites hold towards blacks" then quote Che Guevara or Karl Marx and their views on blacks.

Point is, just have fun with it. But make it so that you throw what they're throwing at you back at them.

Social sciences - where <.05 is a guarantor of truth.

I started reading it. Posting the best quotes.

>“The truth is, white rage has undermined democracy, warped the Constitution, weakened the nation’s ability to compete economically, squandered billions of dollars on baseless incarceration, rendered an entire region sick, poor and woefully undereducated, and left cities nothing less than decimated. All this havoc has been wreaked simply because African Americans wanted work, get an education, live in decent communities, raise their families, and vote. Because they were unwilling to take no for an answer.”

Those poor AAs. Breally makes you think.

The US Constitution was written by slaveowners lmao, I despise this liberal "racism is an affront to American values" nonsense. This country was built on the back of white supremacy and it permeates every aspect of our culture.

>cultural barbarians who find pleasure in raping our history

Whose history? Genocidal Italians? I don't really have a dog in this greaseball race.

Have a grievous cultural misunderstanding. Assume that the text is about the US practice of dividing children into dye vats at birth and that the world is naturally Hmong. Describe the reeducation centres of both US experimental races with the Fordist techniques from BNW. Explain that this has all resulted from a misreading of Shakespeare, who is well understood by the Hmong, and that once the air spirit is run out that everything will a-okay and the enlightenment will revert to the drawing board like it should have when it listed oxygen as a metal.

Though pick someone other than the Hmong because there's a lot of them in the US.

South America was poor and backward centuries ago, I doubt their current poverty has that much to do with the US. Be that as it may, if Mexicans want to move to the US to find work, they are going to have to accept some compromises. Life in the US won't be 100% the same as in Mexico.

If I moved to Mexico I would have to learn to speak Spanish and adjust to Mexican culture, so I don't really see what the problem is with expecting Mexicans to do the same.

Do they really not teach Americans history? I thought they just taught 1492 on but this post seems to indicate everything up to the 1980s disappeared too.

I mean you couldn't even pay your debts to France, so you got occupied by them. . .that isn't one of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective Countries.

The thing is that countries with white protestant populations are always better off economically, because WASPs value literacy (to read the Bible) and industriousness. Countries with Catholic layabout cultures tend to be poor. Spain and Portugal are some of the poorest countries in Europe, and guess who was responsible for colonizing South America.

>>9928571

America's had to stage so many coups there because they're rich arable countries which produce cash crops from bananas to coffee and livestock ranging from future hamburger meat to finest vicuna coats and would outcompete the US easily if they nationalized US interests like they threatened to for a lot of the 20th Century.
