Popular Post Dark_Grey Posted May 25, 2017 Popular Post #1 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Just for fun DailyWire Study: Physically Weak Men More Likely To Be Socialists Above: physically weak students publicly display support for Socialist policies. Quote An academic study from researchers at Brunel University London assessed 171 men, looking at their height, weight, overall physical strength and bicep circumference, along with their views on redistribution of wealth and income inequality. The study, published in the Evolution and Human Behavior journal, found that weaker men were more likely to favor socialist policies than stronger men. Quote Brunel University's Michael Price believes this may be a product of evolutionary psychology. "This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society," said Dr. Price. "Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good." Conversely, Quote Other studies in the past have also suggested stronger men are more right-wing than physically weaker men. "Researchers found that men's opinions on redistribution of wealth could be predicted by their upper body strength, with powerful men more likely to take a conservative stance of protecting their own interests," noted The Telegraph of a 2013 study from Aarhus University in Denmark. Anyone with two eyes would be hard-pressed to refute such findings. Is ANTIFA not the embodiment of this theory? One of the biggest criticisms since their inception has been their willingness to engage in violence while being terrible at it. There are now hundreds of YouTube clips of ANTIFA kids attacking women or the elderly, refusing to engage in one-on-one fights, refusing to leave the safety of their group, launching bottles and bricks from the back of the crowd, etc. In short, they have always been known as cowards. Socialist cowards. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be as successful as you want to be, Capitalism doesn't discriminate. Also, since when was Socialism was about "protecting the weak"? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromdor Posted May 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2017 You know, it is funny and most likely true. If you look at little kids the strong ones generally don't have to share their toys. I can see this mind set continuing into adulthood and transforming into an appeal for or against socialism. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaturtlehorsesnake Posted May 25, 2017 #19 Share Posted May 25, 2017 women, on the other hand, are all anarchists because i know about ten women who are anarchists! anarchism favored women in caveman days because the decentralized power benefits those who stuck around at home, picking berries. there! i evo-psyched just as well as the study, and with about as robust a methodology too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who focus on building muscles are cerebrally challenged actually it is a myth. spread most likely by those who are lacking physical strength, and mental stamina to improve it. reality is more exercise, more blood flow including to the brain, more blood flow to the brain, the better it works. ask any doctor. you also overgeneralized that physically strong people have to have huge muscles, i know plenty of high ranking corporate officers who are strong, and smart, they do not pump iron everyday, they just go to gym to improve their muscle tone, and gain strength. also it is common medical knowledge that your strength and stamina are directly related to testosterone levels, which is not only responsible for muscle strength. but a lot more it seems the article hit the nerve with you, how is your T level?

Most bodybuilders are actually extremely intelligent i have noticed from personal experience...it's not as easy as pick up weight,put weight down,drink protein shake,get big Sure some take it to extremes and roid themselves into an early death which isn't so much stupidity but damn near a strange addiction.Many bodybuilers i would argue have vastly more knowledge on the human anatomy than your average gen practitioner MD! I'm not a "bodybuilder" i have been a athlete most of my life boxing and mma but became a trainer after injuries took a toll... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent0range Posted May 25, 2017 #25 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I posted a thread a couple years ago containing multiple peer reviewed studies showing that conservatives are less intelligent than liberals. That one went over REAL well, sure this one will go down the same path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
