ONE MORE POINT. Violent crime was just one part of my argument and not the main argument for my postion. Your American Renaissance link by the way is a double link of the Occidental Quarterly so people won't be able to find the site in your description.

@IndividualAutonomy shit I will have to fix the link later, I am not at my PC.

For the AR conferences, they invite all different types of groups to speak. They have internal conflicts in their own group. They have Jews that speak there, Neo Nazis, Conservatives, and "Race Realists". The Southern Poverty Law Center for instance, documents the internal conflicts with the group so you can't just tie them all together. Also, the BNP is not related to this debate. What is relevant is the succesful libertarian parites that are anti immigration, the BNP not being libertrian.

@IndividualAutonomy like it or not, people are judged by the company they keep. Stifles has criticized me for my ties to people such as buddhagem, and it is a fair criticism. I find symapthy with people who are prone to analyze more than simply one aspect of society, and I am more than willing to distance myself from the types of exclusive thought I feel the argument of racial seperatism represent.

I believe 5 of the links were AR and AR related. Also, most of the 5 are the color of crime which deals with a lot of the issues. 75% of my stats are not AR or AR related in my last video. There is a reason though why I cited them and talked about the confirmation bias part with you. Tim Wise I believe is pretty far left but you didn't mind using him. I don't fault you at all. It is just a dumb argument in my opinion. When a communist cites me a communist source I don't discount it.

[ThePunkReturns]

@IndividualAutonomy how many times in the video do I say that people should decide for themselves? Addressing the issue of your other links, again I think you have to contextualize any given statistic. Look, ultimately I don't care if you choose to align yourself with such people and organizations as you are citing, I just want others to understand the motivations of such parties and how confirmation bias can come into play.

what a stack of jew bulshit. are you going to believe me or your own two lying eyes right?

This video seems perfectly reasonable to me. I am not opposed to the idea of human biodiversity, including psychological and psychometric differences, but the research just doesn't exist because it's been taboo. So the white nationalists are really overstating their case; just because the liberals oppose it doesn't mean it's true.

@fringeelements Brainpolice is the most obnoxious person on Youtube, and a complete pseudo-intellectual.

"Just to note, I brought up the BNP because I had noticed IndividualAutonomy favoriting their videos."

He really was a controlling little shit, wasn't he?

Posted it in the Link for you.

I did some more research on "The Color of Crime" Some of there sources do exist, but I can't verify they actually used that data. Other sources for this document I have been unable to verify exist at all, specifically the data denying the connection between poverty and crime.

I like many types of speakers from different ideologues though I by no means hold all their positions. I use them to help me from my arguments and positions. I have been influenced by Noam Chom., Howard Zinn, Thomas Paine, Murray Roth., Jared Tay., Mich. Savage, Ron Paul, Mike Gravel, Ben. Tucker, Emma Goldman, etc, and mostly by youtubers. You were one of the first with LING, Luk,, LM, and XO that introduced me to anarchism. You sadly have a double standard for the right.

[brainpolice2]

@IndividualAutonomy I'm just noting the fact that you seem to be a fanboy of a bunch of paleoconservatives and ethnic nationalists, which I find sad.

[IndividualAutonomy]

@brainpolice2

I know you are afraid of this debate and that is fine. You have taboo subjects and one of them is race for whatever reason. One of your pet peeves is race related arguments so I didn't expect any type of helpful response.

[tiecuando]

Man, I thought those racial statistics were bullshit anyway.
