Conservatives are driven by fear. It's hard to show empathy when you see others as a constant threat.
"We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala"

Fucking phrenology.
Literally the opposite but go on...
I would love to see your peer-reviewed paper explaining exactly how this study is wrong. Because, as of right now, we have one peer-reviewed study, and one comment on lemmy. All else being even, I'm going to believe the scientist every time.
Because I value empiricism? Seems like the complete opposite, no?
And as we all know, liberalism and conservatism are the only forms of politics.
It absolutely fucking doesn't refer to the left lol
It does in America. Any suggestions it doesn't are predicated on "bErNiE wOuLd Be A cEnTrIsT iN hUnGaRy!" type idiocy, or on the fact that Europeans use it to refer to what Americans call libertarian.
Either way, it's based on Eurocentrism.
In Europe a liberal is someone who favors a free market and minimal state intervention in the economy. It's never used when talking about social issues or personal freedom.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, in Europe it's used that way, and in the US that position most aligns with the libertarian party, or rather the libertarian party at its least batshit since the party acts with zero accountability to its members due to having no shot at winning anyways under FPTP.
Liberals in America are just right wing anti-communists, they're not leftists at all. As for Bernie, social-democracy is the moderate wing of fascism and that's why he supports Biden's genocide.
Pure bougeyvik nonse. Quite literally too, the line originates with the Bolsheviks because nordic socialist parties split with the internationale on letting Stalin boss everyone around.
You're parroting anti-leftist talking points spawned out of a temper tantrum thrown by the guy who got caught with his pants down in WWII because he still thought he was negotiating with the axis to join in exchange for Bulgaria and Turkey.
I'd ask how it feels to be a useful idiot but the .ml lets us all know that you think the one college class you took for your minor in "read theory" makes you smarter than everyone else, particularly that working class you claim to be an ally with while actively talking over them about what their interests are.
Currently I'm reading the Jakarta Method, actually. I try to do at least one book a month.
Also, Stalin was completely right and that's why European social democracies are having a resurgence of fascist parties. Also, again, social democrats in America supporting genocide. Liberals are liberals, the reason leftists are excluded is because we don't count and aren't allowed to be part of society or politics.
Stalin was an authoritarian traitor to the revolution. So were Lenin and Mao, but that's neither here nor there. Stalin helped cause both Hitler and WWII. Not as much as Wilson did, but Stalin was shoving as hard as he could toward an authoritarian autocracy. Complete traitor to communism.
🤡
Yes, you are a very bad communist. Glad you agree.
Lol. I guess if your goal is to muddy the waters and confuse people about the definitions of words, then well done.
I didn't just make that up
Maybe you didn't, but you didn't read three words into the article. "Social Fascism was"......
Not Is. If the term even still exists, it isn't being used to refer to that.
The way that Labor Zionism has allied itself with genocidal colonialism shows very clearly that it still is.
I will say some of the US's socdems, at least, have called for a ceasefire and have called out apartheid. They still won't call this genocide, though, and I think only Rashida Talib has the correct stance (i.e. a free Palestine from the river to the sea).
So you support a genocide of the Israeli people. Good that we got that out in the open.
I support the creation of a single multi-ethnic, multi-religious democracy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean. Ethnostates are fascist.
Did you even read that?
The communists literally invented the term in an attempt to discredit Social Democrats. It's not an accurate descriptor.
No, they invented a term to correctly identify actually existing social democracy. It was accurate then and it still is.
They are? What a strange thing to say.
That's how the study measures politics, I'm just making fun of it.
