Sweden has some of the best policies for having kids: doesn't cost anything, a year of maternity AND paternity leave for each kid you have, plus they straight up give you money. Birth rate is 1.45.

From the article: economic conservatism is associated with higher cognitive ability, whereas social conservatism, of the authoritarian kind, is associated with lower cognitive ability. It doesn't say if left wing authoritarianism is associated with lower cognitive ability as well, or not, but the correlation doesn't exist for social conservatives either, as long as they aren't authoritarian. I guess that means libertarians.

We don't have a political party who stands for that, even though the majority of normal people want it, on both sides of the aisle.

As far as I can tell, there is no official motive known for Crooks, but Robinson was clearly not motivated by right wing propaganda. Where do you get your news? Do you have any sources supporting your theories that they were right wing? The irony...

You don't think Charlie Kirk or Trump shooting are related to propaganda?

In Minnesota they had a Somalian candidate for mayor who lost because of tribalism within the Somali community. Somalians from different tribes would not vote for him. So then some of the Somali leaders came together and said we are all Somali and should be voting together or we will not take power from the white people. More tribalism.

Leftist is a relative position, so what it means changes depending on what it's compared to. There is always a left and a right as long as there is a meaningful distinction between the two.

You think leftist propaganda doesn't exist?

"If i name myself anti fascist, then anyone who criticizes me is a ...."

Everyone (pretty much) agrees that fascism is bad, but Antifa is a movement that means more than anti fascism. Antifa is branding or marketing in the same way that the anti defamation league is, or like the patriot act put a certain spin on a bill that stripped privacy rights from citizens. Groups use branding to gain power and aren't all encompassing as to their motives or actions. In the case of antifa it's less of an actual organization and more of a rallying cry that gets used for a wide variety of people with different motives, and it's detractors point to a wide variety of actions or intents (real or imagined) when criticizing it.

Being pro free speech has nothing to do with willingness to change your opinion. Rhetoric and philosophy are both contained within the free speech bubble. Also there are no ideologies that are free from the potential of stifling others free speech, which is why it needs to be vigorously protected by everyone, all the time.

In any event, Kirk was targeted specifically for his views, whereas school shootings are indiscriminate attacks.
