Men who are physically strong are more likely to have right wing political views Read more: http://

I doubt it's because they re disabled.
Maybe they have less testosterone (afterall women tend to be leftist too)
or feel more vulnerable..

I think it is the vulnerability.

I'd rather think that the contrary is true. Men with right-wing political views are likely to be strong (or at least, they try to act "tough" like several Apricians).
Either these guys get six-pack abs, or they only get a beer belly like frustrated CV.

People with right-wing political views value brute force over intellect, despise "degenerate" art and everything related to poetry. ("faggotish" according to them). They practice the cult of vulgarity. I'm not surprised that many forum members are fascinated by Trump's personality and misogyny, that they go to the gym rather than to the library. These people are most likely to be found in the Balkans, the former Soviet bloc countries and the Bible Belt in the US.

That's also why I read so many retarded comments. I should create this thread "people with liberal political views have a higher IQ."

[Amud]

I can confirm. I'm physically weak and I believe that rich people should be killed and all of their money redistributed to me. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but it does make me wonder if my views might be different if I were of a different physical type.

today's right winger was yesterday's liberal...so that means even the strongest dude today would be seen as some pinky lib 100 years ago.

[Lemon Kush]

I think it mainly depends on their overall mindset and the environment they were raised in or what point they are in their life

Haha, so true.

Bullshit. This is what happens when one links to The Daily Mail or any other unreliable news source Here's the actual study:

http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.c...act_id=1798773

The researchers claim that their study shows that "men with greater upper body strength more strongly endorsed the self-beneficial position: Among men of lower socioeconomic status (SES), strength predicted increased support for redistribution; among men of higher SES, strength predicted increased opposition to redistribution."

It's not equating being strong with being right-wing and being weak with being left-wing, that's an illiterate reading of the results. It's equating being strong with asserting one's own self-interest. Whether conservative or liberal policies are in their interest, either are allegedly asserted more when asserted by physically strong men. Basically, they have found out that stronger men have stronger opinions about politics. Poorer, "stronger" men favour redistribution more intently than poorer, "weaker" people. And richer, "stronger" men also oppose redistribution more intently than richer, "weaker" men. In essence, the stronger the man is, the more passionate they are in political opinions that favour their own self interest.

As predicted, physical strength is correlated with support for economic redistribution among low SES males. However, as SES increases above average, the effect of upper body strength on support for redistribution becomes negative; in other words, among higher SES men, physical strength is correlated with opposition to redistribution. Because such policies have the effect of shifting resources from higher to lower SES individuals, the results indicate that physically stronger males (rich and poor) are more prone to bargain in their own self-interest, supporting proposals for redistribution if they are poor and resisting those proposals if they are rich. On the other hand, weaker males (rich and poor) are less likely to contest proposals that run against their own self-interest, showing less support for redistribution if they are poor and less resistance to redistribution if they are rich. As predicted, in all three countries the same statistical pattern was found only among men.

You just need to look at leftists today to see that it is true. Next up: left wing women are less attractive.

Hitler was neither left nor right.
