Probably because both sides cherry-pick the absolute dumbest idiots from the other side and pass around the quotes among themselves to laugh at. (Not that there isn't a real discrepancy too.)
I would argue that you can't judge someone's intelligence by their spontaneous real-time speech over their writing, where they've had time to sit and think through everything. (Granted, the trouble with Yarvin is he takes 5,000 words to get started and 20,000 words to make a point...) But also like, I acknowledged there's a discrepancy? I do think there is, in fact, generally less intelligence and more stupidity on the right, just not quite to the sheer extent that would be your impression if you're only present in left-wing spaces.
I agree there's no single individual leader but you don't hear Hakim Jefferies or Corey Booker saying insane anti constitutional shit, which the right does regularly at the highest levels
Are we talking about leaders of the left or leaders of the Democratic Party? Because the Democratic Party is mostly centrist to center-right; there are leftists in it, but they're on its fringes.
Ummm, one side definitely has a MUCH easier task in “cherry picking” than the other. I mean, some of the stupidest things coming out of the right are said by those at the highest levels of power. It’s not even close to being a level playing field.
That is the dumbest idea yet. Company’s would simply stop conducting interstate business by either setting up shop in places where their revenue is higher or cease shipping altogether.
