From the research itself directly, no. But all seems to want to project the image that people on the right are more likely to commit acts of political violence. However in Europe for example most acts of political violence are committed by the left. Hereby must be remarked that groups like the IRA, ETA and PKK have a left-wing orientation. And one can find support for them from leftist groups.

And also the conclusion is that muscular people are more likely, in America, to support Republican foreign policy, including military intervention. However it does not state if physically weak people are more likely to support military action in support of a nominal left wing agenda.

I wonder if he would have gotten the same result if he did his research for let say Imperial Germany. Where a different political agenda controls the educational system then it does today. Also a conclusion you do not make is that left wing leaders do not really represent (with in the present day only a few exceptions) those they claim to represent, since the working class are in general more social conservative.

I assume the italicized text is a joke, right? Because "them pinko stinko commie luvin libs" are statist but cleary anti-fascist FYI.


Depends on your definition of fascism. I use the definition Fascisim == State or Race First/Individual last. All Statist systems are fascist or protofascist. They denigrate the individual in favor of the collective. They did that in Communist Russia where the State did not fade away, as Marx has assumed it would. The State became a monstrosity under Stalin. the Russian (so-called) Communist system was Red Fascism. Hitler and Stalin were men after each other's heart.

I'm far right and regard all politicians from the left, centre, or moderate right as traitors.

For the last 60 years my country (UK) has been ravage by none stop mass immigration instigated by all three of the main parties here.

Unless the docile sheep in the UK vote in a strong right wing government very soon Britain will be an islamic state within 30 years.

Jesus! What a grouch you are.

I am inclined NOT to have issues with any one who is peaceable, who respects the life and property of his neighbors, who does not make noise at night when people are trying to sleep and who does not do things that cause the horse to bolt and panic.

In my opinion, autists tend towards libertarianism, due to our love of personal pursuits, and personal freedom, and on the other hand, towards socialism, because of our love of order, and personal security.

Yeah pretty much me. I'm anti-statist and anti-capitalist

I'm a mix of some kind. Pro abortion, pro-death penalty, pro pot legalization, pro capitalism, etc but then again, I find myself being more to the right on this board mostly because the population at large seems to be a mix of hippies and commies.

Conservative with Libertarian views. Smaller government = more freedom. Big government Liberal policies will be the downfall of this country.

Leaving people with the fantasy of small government will leave people in need without any hope or help. In the end, desperate people will look to the extremes for their salvation, dooming the American way of life. It's liberal big government, which provides stability and help for the vulnerable, that will keep the American way of life safe from the far left and far right.

The religious right condemns social security because they say that according to the old testament individual families should provide for their retired parents not the government.
However I think Jesus wants us to consider all the elderly people as our parents but unfortunately the religious right considers this socialism.

Conservatism: Individual prosperity and happiness though economic growth, personal achievement, and independence. Minimal taxation and adult supervision by government. Rely more on hand-ups than hand-outs whenever practical.

Liberalism: Get as many people on the dole as possible. If on the teat long enough they will vote to keep it that way therefor strengthening the leftist foothold in government. Constantly fan the flames of dissent by reminding people how they've been screwed even when they have not been. Government intrusion and taxation on everything.

You described some characteristics of what passes for "Liberal" in the US today, but that more or less describes economic liberalism. Social Liberalism seems to be more about equality. However, the liberal politicians are of the belief that some people are more equal than others because, oddly, that gets them elected.

As for government intrusion, I want the Right to stay out of my bedroom and living room, and I want the Left to stay off of my plate and away from my gun safe.

You'd make a good classical liberal/libertarian, I think.

I kind of disagree with the libertarians on economics as I would loved to have something similar to the UK's NHS implemented in the US. However, with the US being super corrupt, any attempt to do that would end in disaster unless some major things change.

No, you don't, mate. You really don't want that. A lot of us here are disgusted with the state of the NHS - honestly, many hospitals are filthy, disgusting hellholes of pandemonium. What you really want is decent health care, and the NHS can't really provide that. There are much better health care systems available in mainland Europe.
