At this point I’m inclined to think antis can’t have high IQ. Or are far too gone in their purity culture. Little mean i know, but whenever I see their takes it’s just… plz tell me you’re under 16, because this immaturity, way of presenting arguments and accusing without proof is just way too embarrassing for an adult
Anon, you mean well, you’re broadly correct: the following is meant to spread awareness, not to shame you for not knowing.
IQ is an inherently eugenicist and ableist concept and metric that does not help us understand anything valuable about the test-taker’s actual intelligence. I say this speaking as someone who scores uncomfortably high on IQ tests and was put into special honors classes as a child based on that metric.
The actual problem with antis that I know you are trying to describe with this language is that:
⚠️ Antis are incurious about the world
⚠️ Antis are easily swayed by authority
⚠️ Antis are undereducated about history
⚠️ Antis have an unwillingness to learn
⚠️ Antis are reactioanary
⚠️ Antis prefer a comfortable lie to a difficult truth
⚠️ Antis are immature
⚠️ Antis are sheltered by conservative adults
⚠️ Antis react with anger to being corrected
⚠️ Antis are susceptible to propaganda
