Men who are physically strong are more likely to have right wing political views

"In line with their hypotheses, the data revealed that wealthy men with high upper-body strength were less likely to support redistribution, while less wealthy men of the same strength were more likely to support it."








it's all about money you fukks.

[Cfitz717]

Well yeah, Paul Ryan lifts.. Name one libbie who does.

[MrLL]

Was only a matter of time before the truth came out, weak liberal beta *******s really ARE weak liberal beta *******s, and modern psychology says so.

Of course, this applies to white people only.

I see plenty of folks who clearly aren't wealthy, who are still against the liberal agenda. And rightfully so. They don't believe in wealth redistribution.

[Diesel0022]

It's because people who lift have experienced actually doing something difficult rather than depending on the government to do it for them.

True

Look at all the left wing hippie hipster *******s. Never seen one that lifts. All skinny frail woman like features.

True

[BDPfit]

Well yeah, Paul Ryan lifts.. Name one libbie who does.

Piers Morgan squats bro... Right onto Chris Matthew's dink

key word: "likely"

so not everyone on the 1000+ lbs club will be right-wing and not everyone who doesn't lift will be left-wing

"‘In all three countries, physically strong males consistently pursue the self-interested position on redistribution.’

Men with low upper-body strength, on the other hand, were less likely to support their own self-interest.
Wealthy men of this group showed less resistance to redistribution, while poor men showed less support.

Professor Petersen said: ‘Our results demonstrate that physically weak males are more reluctant than physically strong males to assert their self-interest - just as if disputes over national policies were a matter of direct physical confrontation among small numbers of individuals, rather than abstract electoral dynamics among millions.’"

You're confusing the psychological aspects of this study with a simple statement of the fact that poor people are more like to support redistribution, regardless of strength levels.

Anthony Wiener, the pervert.

[OddsBodkin]

i believe it. i am right wing and all my friends who lift are right wing too. we believe in strength in our personal lives and in politics. makes sense.

[pat19]

of course. and there's some very strong people who are liberal as **** also, but this study is about the majority and it does not do a good job of making any point.

[elperfecto]

key word: "likely"

Not everyone in prison is guilty. Not every man wants to **** a woman. There will always be exceptions, but there are general truths.

[laff79]

I'm liberal, but neither weak nor beta.

brb breaking stereotypes
brb slinging **** right back at GOP ****s
brb eating red meat
brb getting in barfights

[surf junkie]

Well yeah, Paul Ryan lifts.. Name one libbie who does.

A libbie who wastes time lifting instead of worrying about the problems of the world and how to use YOUR money to fix them all?


i arent even...

[krayzie2k]

lol yes because mitt romney and george bush were alpha. plsgo with this bullchit

doesnt matter if you like coke or pepsi, getting in barfights is stupid and childish behavior

[Lpenny]

No ****?!?!

My turd could've told you this.

[TyGuy505]

So guys that lift and look like real men and are strong think rationally and use their brains instead of being irrational like beta white knights/hipsters and women?

[PervedOut]

I can confirmmmmmmmmmm

[sknot1454]

Well yeah, Paul Ryan lifts.. Name one libbie who does.

mirin that lift

Also, Teddy was a pretty progressive dude. Also alpha as ****.

[MrLL]

lol yes because mitt romney and george bush were alpha. plsgo with this bullchit

Yes, because this study says "EVERYONE who is right winged is alpha as fuark and shredded."

plsgo with this bullchit

[laff79]

doesnt matter if you like coke or pepsi, getting in barfights is stupid and childish behavior

I'll fight you right now.









j/k (was exaggerating to make a point, guy. calm down)

I thought democrats were limp-wristed undermen who can't stand up for themselves.

He was just saying that being stronger =/= being right-wing because that is not what the research found. Since redistribution is more appealing to lower classes, high strength and low socio-economic status men will actually be more left-wing per the study's predictions. You can see most people ITT don't actually know the link found - which is understandable because the news article title is factually wrong.


E: By the way, bicep size alone was used as the measuring variable for strength. This means non-lifting fatties with rolling arms would be rated very highly on the strength scale.

[zinc2man]

it's all about money you fukks.

Except poor immigrants tend to be more conservative than the average citizen of the country they move to. That is because immigrants have aspirations to become successful and don't want the government taking what they earn.

Left wingers probably sit around complaining that all wealth is theft and that anybody with money must have exploited someone to get that wealth, or that life is unequal because some people get a better start in life than others. So it doesn't matter if they government takes their money from them. They didn't deserve it in the first place.

I'm not rich and am conservative....

[mrsnruB1111]

doesn't it say guys with high upper body strength but were poor were more likely to support redistribution? How exactly does that fit into the equation

Being strong does not necessarily = being right winged, but the quote I posted clearly states that stronger men are more resistant to the liberal ideology of wealth distribution.

How is the title wrong? The study still demonstrated a clear division between strong and weak men in terms of political views. Yes, the study also says that strong poor men still favor redistribution, but that's because the connection between strength and the evolutionary traits associated with right-winged ideology is overridden by the fact that they're poor and would like to see wealth redistributed.

This does NOT undermine the correlation between being physically weak and being left-winged, it's just saying that yes, even poor strong men like redistribution just like weak men.

Notice how it says "physically weak males are more reluctant than physically strong males to assert their self-interest" (resistance to redistribution, in this case).

It does NOT say "phyiscally weak poor males are [...]"

tl;dr Being liberal or right-winged is not all about money, contrary to what pat19 posted.

doesn't it say guys with high upper body strength but were poor were more likely to support redistribution? How exactly does that fit into the equation

Because being poor is still correlated with support of redistribution. You're missing the point here. Reread the article carefully.

physical strong = more likely to be right-winged
being poor = more likely to support redistribution

Thus, wealth may affect a man's opinion of distribution but it does not change the fact physically weak men are correlated with liberalism while physically strong men are correlated with right-winged beliefs.

[FunnyWeasel]

makes sense because strong people had only themselves to push it past their limits. that's something the government can't do on everyone
