Well you're a Bill Maher fan, right? He's against identity politics, criticizes Islam, and is pro free speech(he actually DEFENDS people's right to speak when antifa tries to shut them down and has given a platform to Coulter, Milo, and Shapiro on his show)..

I've said I agree with Bill Maher sometimes, probably a good 60% at least, but everything you've noted I agree with when done correctly and fairly. IP can't be bad, Islam has legit critiques against it and I've said shitlords like Milo, Coulter and Shapiro should be allowed to speak if invited. He can be rather smug-arrogant though and that's off putting.
Are you suggesting Bill Maher is Alt-Right though now? Lolz. Weirdo.
Well he does agree with the Alt Right on those topics(as do you), which by your standards seems to imply that yes, both he and yourself are Alt Right...
No, not by my standards, by whatever you're making up right now. But hey, if it helps you thinking* I'm Alt-Right, cool. Bill Maher can defend himself, but he's not Alt-Right, imo.
*I will add that I don't really believe you believe this, you're just doing your thing and that's fine.
It's entirely possible that I'm confusing you with others, but haven't you expressed before that agreeing with the Alt Right about stuff makes someone Alt Right even if they don't identify themselves as such?
Let me expound, when I said "your thing", I was talking about how you defend someone or something by passively attacking its critics. It's your MO.
eg I attack the Alt-Right, so you attack me. I have to ask, I don't think you're Alt-Right, but what do you get out of it defending them this way? You did so in the Charlotsville thread via whataboutary tactics and you've done so other times since then.
I seldom defend the Alt Right except in regards to recognizing that they have the same legal rights as other citizens. When it seems that I'm taking their side most of the time I'm actually taking issue with using the label Alt Right to vilify people who aren't actually Alt Right in an effort to undercut their arguments and/or hypocrisy from the other side.

Honestly, I don't even put all that much stock in IQ scores. I myself technically have a high IQ but I generally can't remember names or dates worth a damn, I don't pick up on social cues that are obvious to everyone else, and I did horrible in school because even when I understood the subject matter inside and out I couldn't actually sit there and fill out all the day to day paperwork properly. That's why most of my classmates are bit better off than I am at this point. Raw IQ doesn't mean all that much in the grand scheme of things IMO.

IQ is more about how quickly your brain makes connections between things that are seemingly unconnected, it's more of an indicator of potential to be intelligent. Like height may produce a better chance of being a good basketball player, having a high IQ merely increases the probability you have high intelligence.

This is in no way meant in any kind of racist way, but the modern world is built on Northern Europe's Discoveries. The Science of the 20th and 21st Century is founded in 15,16,17,18 and 19th Century Europe.
IDK man... Europe definitely came up with with a lot in quantity, but Asia was the birthplace of a lot of things that were so vital to the modern world that it could be argued that more is built upon their discoveries. Aside from inventions like paper, printing, gunpowder, the magnetic compass, and clocks, Asia is basically the inventors of modern math. The concept of the number zero came from India, algebra originated from the middle east, and the first calculator(abacus) came from China. Things like Civil service examinations and civil bureaucracy also find their roots in East Asia.
Don't get me wrong because I fully acknowledge that Western Civilization has everyone else beat when it it comes to volume, but trade with Asia is basically what brought Europe out of the dark ages and paved the way for many of those important discoveries.
Yes, they had gunpowder and did nothing with it etc. Yes 0 allowed proofs of Greek Geometry etc. Actually the civil service etc. came from the Fertile Crescent and north Africa, all of these ancient things were stagnent and unchanging for thousands of years, it was Europe and particularly the two periods of the enlightenment and the first Industrial revolution that allowed the British Empire and English to dominate the 18th, 19th and first half of the 20th Century and the Americans and to a lesser extent Europe to dominate the second half of the 20th and the 21st. Your Language, dress, week, way of telling the time, legal system, political system, music (scales etc.) all has it's roots in Europe.
As for Science, Newton, Lavoisier, Darwin, Brunel, Bohr, Tesla, Gauss, Hook, Mercedes, Oppenheimer etc. all sound pretty European to me, hell, even Americans like the Wright Brothers and Ford sound pretty European.
