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

[Eyeball Chambers]

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

By Daily Mail Reporter

Men who are strong are more likely to take a right-wing stance, while weaker men support the welfare state, researchers claim.

Their study discovered a link between a man’s upper-body strength and their political views.

Scientists from Aarhus University in Denmark collected data on bicep size, socio-economic status and support for economic redistribution from hundreds in America, Argentina and Denmark.


Men who are physically strong - like Arnold Schwarzenegger - are more likely to take a right wing political stance

Left wingers are rabid homo sissys

Repost, but well worth another look.

I wonder why no mention of the distribution of socio-economic status since it was listed as one of the factors

maybe the men with larger arms are also blue collar workers or have other physical jobs and maybe the bicep size is not correlated with political views but with the fact they they are have physical jobs.  It's pretty common for people for blue collar types to be right wing/conservative

People with stronger work ethic, motivation/drive and competitiveness are definitely, on average, more likely to be fiscal conservatives and opposed to nanny state government and redistribution.  By nature, weaker people (maybe physical, mental or overall energy) and less motivated people are more likely to want (and need) the government to support & help them.  All you guys in your 20s voting for liberal democrats are certainly voting for bigger controlling government...which means less personal freedoms.

Great post Lieutenant of common sense. The Math is pretty simple; "strong" men are well adapted and recognize the benefit of natural selection. Weaker urbanite "liberals" cannot thrive in this type of environement. Also a great part of their self esteem comes from "standing up" for the "less fortunate" (aka failed @ natural selection) and tap themselves on the back. Note they will do it if and only if that stand up action doesn't doesn't affect their lifestyle.

It's a classic Spartan vs Athenians debate.

And from what I hear, Arnold was never that strong.  Arnold is the typical right wing type of guy who wants other people to THINK he is strong.  Right Wingers will do anything to persuade people they are tough guys, even go as far to release media reports on pseudo intellectual and highly flawed studies claiming right wingers are tough.

ANd seriously, has anyone checked out your average politician, pathetically physically weak specimens the lot of them, as is the majority of the general population.  Anybody who believes this propaganda has some serious insecurity issues.

Here is what your average right winger looks like

totALLY LOGICAL

those who produce more and leaders want less tribe taking thier cash

those hindmost wana get most welfare

[shootfighter1]

Monson is a monster, no doubt, but an anarchist is not a liberal democrat, defined by recent history anyway.  Anarchy is something totally separate...not really right or left, it definitely is not big government control, quite the opposite.  Big government and dependency is defining progressive leftists in the US.

All the fucking way 

Honestly, I don't consider myself "right" wing. I guess the closest would be Libertarian



Pro Gay Marriage
Pro racial equality
Pro Whatever the fuck you want to do with your own body
Anti drug control
Pro gun but pro gun control as well.
Pro Fiscal responsibility
Anti big Government
Pro border and illegal immigration control
Pro home schooling and education reform (get the gov'ment out of it)

Jeff is on the left.  He has said he would like to do away with all class hierarchy in society and the institutions that promote this inequality.  He is a member of the left wing  Industrial Workers of the World and he receives sponsorship from the AK Press, a book distributor that specialises in radical left and anarchist literature. There is such a thing as right and left wing anarchism.The right want self-ownership and limited government and believe that naturally extends to supporting strong private property rights and free-market capitalism in contrast with left-wing views which do not support them.

All the fucking way

Pro Gay Marriage - LEFT
Pro racial equality - LEFT
Pro Whatever the fuck you want to do with your own body - LEFT
Anti drug control - LEFT
Pro gun but pro gun control as well. RIGHT & LEFT
Pro Fiscal responsibility - RIGHT
Anti big Government - Anarchism
Pro border and illegal immigration control - RIGHT
Pro home schooling and education reform (get the gov'ment out of it) - Only the middle and upper classes could afford to keep a parent home and school their own children.  Most people aren't smart enough to teach a reasonable curriculum.

This is 100% true. Liberalism is a mental disorder... and makes you half a women.

Hope this helps.

And ahead of time. Screw all you lefty bitches. That's right.. Alpha Right Wing shit right there. Go cry your sensitive asses a river.

please post something to support your claim

I can list many different well known people with strong work ethic, motivation/drive and competitiveness who are not conservative (fiscally or otherwise)

If this is just your gut feeling or your personal beliefbased on your gut feeling then that's a different story

Bill Gates and Warren Buffet alone shit all over your "non-sensery" as well.

That's because the political spectrum is more of a circle than right/left. Check Stalin and Hitler, dudes were both pretty fucking brutal and in total control, but one a communist and one a fascist are two totally different ideologies. Allegedly.

Hey Sherlock Homely... you can't be a left and an anarchist.

Left is the isms... facism, socialism, Nazism etc. More government control. Less individual liberty.

Right is anarchy. No government involvement.

Think of it more as 4 quads then left and right.

Upper left... full on communism.

Upper right... full anarchy. Bottom right theocracy etc.

Up Liberal. Down Conservatism. Left big gov. Right small gov.

Do it on paper and you can slide the scale around. It's why we have a center, and not a middle. You would have a middle if you only had left and right. You need up and down too to have a center.

Your welcome for your education. Stick to bashing Islam dummy.

This guy would be upper right corner. No god and no government. (Bottom right is all god no gov. Aka Islam)

Get it?
