Conservatives always say liberalism is a mental disease.

What if it is? Did anyone ever do a study comparing the brains of conservatives and liberals? Perhaps there's some structural difference, or maybe somewhere along the way they get brain damaged.

It's just inconceivable to me that these people can consistently choose evil over good and still be considered "normal". I'd really be interested in knowing why they're so sick in the head and don't seem to realize it.

There have been studies that show liberals suffer from more mental illnesses, are in poorer shape, and are uglier than conservatives...this is fact. Various studies show it. And honestly its just common knowledge that when you're hate filled and being a shitty person, your inner appearance manifests outwardly. Its probably why so many liberals are so fucking ugly. They die their hair unnatural colors to show the world they're filled with toxins...nature always gives you warnings with bright colors.

I don't say this ironically. I'm dead serious. It is a mental disease. It's obvious in the same way that it is obvious 'trans' is a mental illness.

There have been studies about behavioral, psychological, and sociological differences between political ideologies. I'm not sure if there's been any neurological studies though.

it's not physical but it is biological, apparently

it has been theorized that there is an oscillation between the human race needing a soft touch and a lot of compassion to needing a firm hand and an ice cold disposition, depending on the current circumstance

in good times human societies tend to look to progressive thinking and communal behaviors, and in hard times humans tend to hold what he have and purge the xeno

the idea is that we need to have both modes of thinking available to suit the current circumstance or climate, so we have preserved them as a species without forcing every person to hold both approaches in their mind at all times

interesting...reminds me of a saying used in economics..

"hard times create strong people, and strong people create good times. But good times create weak people, and weak people create hard times.

I did see a post here the other day with the pictures of the two brains but don’t know if it was legit or just shitposting. Would be worth finding out.

They were born that way. There is no excuse. Missing a vital gene. Not a scientist but stayed in a Holiday Inn once.
