Wonder if there is anything to this:
Men who are physically strong are more likely to have right wing political views
Weaker men more likely to support welfare state and wealth redistribution
Link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in our ancestors
Strength was a proxy for ability to defend or acquire resources
There is no link between women's physical strength and political views

Yes, the only thing people understand is brute force and terror ;D
In nature the strongest rule, in democracy the weak rule.

Right wing as far as independence and economics I think the study was alluding too. Makes sense alpha males are more independent (don't want government controlling them) and want to compete for resources. They tend to be more competitive rather than favor complacency and redistribution.

Very true to everything.

Left wing men are too busy studying to worry about physical prowess.
Intelligence > Physical Strength
Man has subdued the planet in no small part due to his intelligence, not due to the fact he can pick up/put down heavy objects. Monkeys do that.

Butthurt liberals imploding left and right.
u mad weaktards?

Sounds a little bit like Orwellian propaganda - let's get rid of all the "mean" strong people.
dailymail probably considers you right wing if you leave your house without a butt plug, a palestine flavored smoothie and a spare orphan hanging from your cock.

The most intelligent men of our time have left wing views.

Intelligent in what way? The most intelligent economists of our time are right wing. There are some very intelligent people out there that are complete morons when it comes to economics and politics.

If you read Albert Einstein's misguided economic essays, it becomes instantly clear there is no correlation between "intelligence" and economic awareness. His arguments for socialism rest on dozens of logical fallacies that a first year student could pick apart.

I'm not saying I agree with them, merely stating facts.
Truth is, I never vote.
I would rather devote my time and energy to things other than some limp dick politicians views on how we should live.
-
Every politician I have ever seen has been physically pathetic. Right and left wing. I always figured that's why they got into politics, because they were never going to experience what it was like to be physically big & strong.
And it's junk science studies like this that has given academia a bad name. No longer is research based on truth, but some retards bias that they don't even try hard to hide any-more.\
And equating bicep size with the ability to win in a physical conflict - really? This is what happens when you have a bunch of physically weak academics trying to determine what physical strength is and who has the greater benefit in a conflict.

Well that's even more reason why you should be voting for right wing candidates, that is largely the right wing philosophy - minimal government and keeping the fuck out of peoples lives without imposing nonsense ideologies of how they think people should live.

While he was no ripped muscleman, George W Bush always fired it into the catchers mitt come first pitch opening day. George Sr. was a solid baseball player too from what I've heard.

Are you fucking serious, George Bush looks pathetic, always wearing his power suits and walking around as if he actually had some muscle. This is what I am saying, if people are actually suggesting George Bush is a strong physical specimen, they obviously don't now what strength is.

Evidently your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired.

I thought you were equating his ability to deliver a baseball pitch with physical prowess. But it is probably better than our last Prime Minister, check out John Howard playing cricket.

Of course it is true. Look at Coach.

George W looked respectable throwing a baseball and Sr. was team captain at Yale. That's all.
Not saying they were capable of brutally knocking out Ken Norton in the first round ala Gerry Cooney. 8)
Straight down the middle with the entire world watching. Takes some nerves for sure.

proving that all rightwingers take steroids.

Years ago there was an interesting long term study in Kenya done on Baboons, the troupe was run by some really aggressive, belligerent alphas at the top of the hierarchy and a bunch of sickly stressed out subordinates below them (the constantly stressed out subordinates was attributed to the violent atmosphere created by the violent Alphas at the top). The alphas always were able to fight of any competition and get fresh picking at the food dumps where they regularly scavenged from. This pattern remained constant for twenty years, but one year there was some meat tainted with bovine tuberculosis at the food dump and the Alphas who regularly dominated ate the tainted meat and died soon after.
With no more alphas left, those left behind in the troop, were the 50 percent of males that had been too subordinate to try dump brawling, as well as all the females and their young. With that change in demographics came a cultural swing toward pacifism, a relaxing of the usually parlous baboon hierarchy, and a willingness to use affection and mutual grooming rather than threats, swipes and bites to foster a patriotic spirit. The removal of aggressive alpha males actually led to a more civilised baboon troupe, less violence and more co-operation and less stress for everyone.

So let me get this strait, people who have less or close to zero reason to relate to the poor, injured, unfortunate, etc etc vote right wing. Wow what a discovery.
