How do these leftist elitists explain that it is not the right, but the left that has exterminated their own citizens by the millions in the last century. Estimates I have seen put the death toll at between 100 and 260 million people exterminated by communist governments. To these elitists Brexit or supporting Trump are extremist, violent and dangerous. Supporting communism is enlightened and good.
>>The study also maps the psychological signatures that underpin fierce political conservatism, as well as “dogmatism”: people who have a fixed worldview and are resistant to evidence.
>>Psychologists found that conservatism is linked to cognitive “caution”: slow-and-accurate unconscious decision-making, compared to the fast-and-imprecise “perceptual strategies” found in more liberal minds.
Much much more evidence and case history for studying dogmatic militant Communists who are always spouting off about “The Struggle”.
Allow me to translate:
Stupid and impulsive people become right-wingers.
(Poor memories, and “slow-to-process.”)
There.
Maybe they could conduct and publish a study?
Labeling anyone that disagrees with you “an extremist” is definitely a sign of emotional and mental stability (extreme sarcasm)
Soviet psychiatry.
Phrenology lives, baby!
Looks like they are getting ready to red flag a whole bunch of people, using “science”, of course.
Have these researchers mapped an underlying "psychological signature" for those who pretend the Right embraces violence when there's little evidence but ignore Leftists who do embrace violence?
Have these researchers mapped an underlying "psychological signature" for those who falsify evidence that others are resistant to?
Have these researchers mapped an underlying "psychological signature" for those call who call the impulsive, reactionary, immature, illogical, and defective decision-making in liberal minds "fast-and-imprecise"?
Have these researchers mapped an underlying "psychological signature" for those who hide the truth that such "fast and imprecise" decision-making is found in prey animals, human children, and drug users?
Have these researchers mapped an underlying "psychological signature" for those say the signature for extremism across the board is a blend of conservative and dogmatic psychologies while ignoring the truth that extremism is caused by the direct opposites of conservative who have no dogma since it shifts to their whims?
Have these researchers mapped an underlying "psychological signature" for those who publish studies that intentionally mis-identify conservatives as extremists in order to avoid identifying those on the Left who actually are radicalized? (Forget vulnerable to being radicalized.)
Have these researchers mapped an underlying "psychological signature" for those who lie, propagandize, and gaslight others in an attempt to provide false explanations of the world?
The left want to call you an extremist, even though your values have been around for centuries. It is projection (an unconscious urge) or derogatory name calling (a conscious urge).
When the lunatics start calling regular people lunatics then you know things are up in the air. When sex changing babies, pedophilia, biological men in women sports, lack of free speech, etc. become the regular norms then society has changed from what it was for hundreds of years. The people who advocate these changes are the extremists. However, when these changes take effect the normal values are then labeled extreme by these people. Things are flipped 180 degrees.
This took a psychologist?
If I want to see an extremist mind, I just go to any of the social apps, listen to the lowest intellects in universities (studies, arts, etc) or listen to any Dimbulbcrat. They all converge to the lowest IQ extant, that of
Easy peasy.
So...they don't weigh facts, jump to conclusions, and get things wrong. Like the author himself.
It wouldn’t do the author any good to read this article. He’d never understand it.

Psychologists are the architects of the psyops campaigns against western civilization. They are criminal frauds. They invent BS like this article at the behest of their employers. Psychologists are charlatans and each one knows full well that he/she is a fraud.
So if I want a wall...if I want all wetbacks expelled...if I believe there are only two sexes...if I want cheap gas prices made possible by lots of drilling...if I believe that socialism has failed every time it’s been tried...if I believe that mankind isn’t nearly powerful enough to effect the world’s climate...that means that there’s something wrong with my brain?
extreme social, political and religious attitudes and supporting violence in the name of ideology
...and the next minute who are we talking about?
the psychological signatures that underpin fierce political conservatism
Back to that illusion of objectivity:
“Many people will know those in their communities who have become radicalised or adopted increasingly extreme political views, whether on the left or right,” said Dr Leor Zmigrod
But not for long:
She has previously published findings on links between cognitive “inflexibility” and religious extremism, willingness to self-sacrifice for a cause, and a vote for Brexit.
The article is seriously conflating suicide bombers with Brexiteers? I don't blame the researcher for that, although I don't absolve her either; I do blame the article's author and editors for bias.
Awesome! So I guess the “progressive mind is 180 degrees? I would stack my brain against theirs any day of the week...if they had any.
Theories like this have the potential to backfire on the theoretician.
