Physically strong men tend to be right wing.

[daddy8ball]

 

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  

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.

[Nomad]

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.

Thanks for the add.

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.

[Radical Plato]

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.
