    kinda weird that all of the ‘smart’ men they chose to picture are A) fictional, and B) murderers.

    Average doesn’t mean that 50% are above it. That’s what the median is for

    I think the stats say, about 52% of the population is female, 48% is male.

    So 2% of females are male. Oh … wait …!

    I remember one of the question styles in those crappy online iq tests being: If some clots are blahs and all blahs are ploots, are all clots ploots?

    Interesting that the meme is about iq

            Woah crazy wowee zowee

            You went to all the effort to type out the difference between mean, median, and mode under the incorrect assumption that only mean can be average, when a simple google search would have saved you the trouble

      No, but if you compliment the dumb ones they will work harder for the same amount. Making average common makes business easier.

      Any percent can be above average(as long as its not 100%) if there are exteme outliers. For example the average us income is $60k while the median(the most common) is 30k. Source: i just searched it. But you get it. In this memes case its incorrect because iq is a bell curve.

        Median isn’t most common, that would be mode. Median is the “middle” value i.e. the value that half of the population are above and half are below.

      Statisticians and smarter people, please correct me if I am wrong since my only experience is one statistics class in college, but this could be true if you have a lot of extreme outliers on the lower end than the upper end.

      Averages are just that - an average. If you have 1000 people and 750 of them have IQs below 60 and the rest have “normal” IQs, then your average will skew to the lower IQs. I would wager median and mode would be better for this kind of stuff.

    This is just Nazi rhetoric. Stupid rhetoric, but pretty clearly Nazi stuff.

    I’m sure somewhere an idiot decided they were going to create a satirical Nazi meme, but I guess every day another fool must learn why that isn’t viable. No context, no satire. There is no reason why this couldn’t be made in earnest by one of the 15-year-old white boys that they recruit.

    Yeah, it doesn’t matter if it says “shitpost” at the top of the page. That tells me nothing. That is not context.

    This isn’t our first day on the job, the Nazis like to leak their bullshit wherever they can to see if it will float. This place is a good place to make an attempt. I would quite reasonably assume that this is one of those attempts. Maybe they get shut down, or maybe they find fertile ground, they are always testing. Perhaps this is your first day online, though, perhaps you don’t know better.

    Hiding behind “it’s a joke” is also classic fascist nonsense. It’s a joke unless you take it seriously, then it’s not a joke, let us speak more seriously, that’s how the fascists work, and that’s why we bring the hammer down on this shit. They’re always fishing, and always hiding behind plausible deniability until they get enough power that they don’t need to hide.

    The men in the meme may seem to make this an obvious joke, but they look cool to young boys, so they would be used knowing that most children would be ignorant of them. Nobody under 18 is likely to know what Patrick Bateman is about, that movie is from forever ago, never mind the book. He just looks like Bruce Wayne to them.

    Teenage boys have a nasty tendency to fancy themselves unstoppable psychopaths, they crave power because they have none. It doesn’t matter if they know about Patrick, they think he’s hard and cool and powerful and rich and gets bitches when it pleases him, just like the teenage boy dreams of. He is a child. Nazis know this. This is not their first day on the job.

    I would quite reasonably assume this is Nazi propaganda. It’s inept, but fascists are stupid, so that tells me nothing.

    Why yes I do know what a joke is. You failed. Try again. It was always your job to land your attempt, and not my job to laugh.

    However your post was shit, so I suppose congratulations for that.
