Study finds physically weak men favor socialism

A study, led by UK Brunel University London psychologist Dr. Michael Price, found that physically weaker men are more in favor of socialism (“social and economic equality”) than stronger men.

The study by Michael Price, Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington (London School of Economics), psychologist James Sidnaius (Harvard U.), and psychologist Nicholas Pound (Brunel U. London), “Is sociopolitical egalitarianism related to bodily and facial formidability in men?,” is published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, 38:5 (September 2017), pp. 626-634.

Citing prior research showing several aspects of male face shape and appearance, such as height-to-width ratio, to be linked to ability to compete for resources in the modern world, the Brunel study employed the following methodology:

As the study puts it:

Our study tested … 171 men, using two sociopolitical egalitarianism measures: social dominance orientation and support for redistribution. Predictors included bodily formidability and attractiveness and four facial measures (attractiveness, dominance, masculinity, and width-to-height ratio). We also controlled for time spent lifting weights, and experimentally manipulated self-perceived formidability in an attempt to influence egalitarianism.

Well socialists probably don’t believe in competitive sports so they don’s play those.

And mostly though they’re just fa...ts :)

Your average Socialist is not coordinated enough to play sports.

Physically and mentally weak. They rely on strength through numbers instead, and suffer emotional breakdowns if anyone disagrees with their opinions.

They would also find that ugly, fat, dyke women favor socialism. As do lazy grifters, mentally deficient idealists, sexual deviants, and Democrats (but I repeat myself).

A corollary is that “gun control” creates more converts to socialism, because it re-inforces physical disparities.

>>> I don’t think it has to do with physical strength. More like “mentally weak” men favor socialism.<<<

I agree. Charles Krugman was in a wheelchair and he was a conservative.

It must be true because it is now settled science.

In America, the State has supplanted the family in many ways, as was the goal. That was the plan, it wasn’t an accident. Destroy the family, and Churches, etc. So unnatural and unhealthy arrangements “single mothers” are considered a good thing, as far as Socialists are concerned. Job security for bureaucrats too. Healthy, well balanced, educated people with decent parents, decent jobs don’t need much, mostly, just the need to be left the fvck alone.

Creating dependent classes is the technique. Fearful, neurotic, unstable, propagandized, worked over, guilt tripped, worked into a frenzy over imaginary hobgoblins.... your tax dollars at work.

Thank you, you’re right.

For some reason I keep getting the two names confused.

Like when I say “Ugly Pile of Pus” when I mean to say “Hillary Clinton”.

A sample of 171 men, aged 18-40: 98% were students

Students. Say no more. THAT'S the problem. No charge for my help.

Well, I'm ready to have it out. If they go after the President and don't remove him in the Senate, he will be reelected with a Republican House and Senate and pass all of the legislation he intended to do. The Dems will go to war and will be dust in a huge retaliation. Then we will be back to our founder's America, fulfilling Jefferson's admonition that "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. it is it’s natural manure."

If he is removed by the Senate, then the whole process will start all the earlier.

Mental weakness and physical weakness are closely related. Weak men are lacking self determination, commitment and resolve. Socialist traits
