New Study Finds Wimpy Guys Are More Likely To Be Socialists

It's now been scientifically proven that the wimpier the guy, the more likely he is to be a socialist. No kidding.

According to a new study, physically weaker men are more prone to support socialism, a trend psychologists say may be because they feel they can’t compete against stronger men and are therefore consider inequality more threatening. 

According to the Times, U.K., Brunel University ran a study on 171 men, measuring everything from their strength, height, weight and even bicep circumference. What the university found was that the physically inferior men tended to be the ones who said they supported the redistribution of wealth.

The physically stronger men, on the other hand, were a lot more prone to backing capitalism, and said they supported the idea of naturally dominant social groups.

“This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society,” explained the university’s own Michael 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.”

“Of course this isn’t rational in modern environments, where your ability to win might have more to do with where you went to university,” he added. “Lots of guys who are phenomenally successful in modern societies would probably be nowhere near as successful in hunter gatherer societies.”

Still, Price says, it’s pretty amazing to see how natural dominant instinct plays out in today’s society, where weaker guys appear to find a lot more value in others being forced to share the wealth.

Agree.

IMO, this applies not only to the physically wimpy, but also to the intellectually wimpy.

Socialism looks good on the surface, because at first wimpy guys can get the fruits of someone else’s work redistributed so they get more than they’ve earned. But in the long run, the weak get eaten by the system.

Any thinking person would prefer maximum freedom and protection of property rights over a system where the state gets to decide what you’re permitted to do and to have. The bullies eventually take over such a system and the weak are allowed to exist only to service the state.

Another point: It’s the wimpy who most need 2A protection, yet for some bizarre reason, they seem the least in favor of it. A gun is a great equalizer.

They have to be pussies as weell, pretending their intellectual depth is greater than any Alpha male

Yeah, because proving one part of a participle is going make the women weak amd desirous of phony I.Q.

Because, like men, we really are attracted only to the really smart ones...

. . . strength, height, weight and even bicep circumference . . . physically inferior men tended to be the ones who said they supported the redistribution of wealth

Strength comes from sustained effort, as do biceps. The bottom line is that those who work hard want to benefit from their effort. Those who do nothing want to benefit from the effort of those who work hard.

Soy products. Soy contains phytoestrogen compounds. Anyone who eats a diet high in processed foods, babies whose mothers consumed such things while pregnant or babies raised on infant formula rather than breast milk will be affected. Boys will be effeminate and girls will mature faster and be more susceptible to hormonal based diseases like breast and uterine cancers. I think someday we will look back and see the changes caused by our over consumption of soy and be appalled. Intentional, who knows.

And in a related report, old, fat billionaires get the hotties like Kristen Fisher (FNC).

Most unfortunately, the real men die in battle, leaving the wimps to “lead” the country. The wimps need to be forced into the military!

I could have told them that! I think this also largely applies to weak women as well. These are people who never bothered to grow up and put on the mantle of adulthood.

“You’ve got to get out into the country beyond any hint of urban to begin encountering young men who look like they’re supposed to look,”

True for Caucasian males, but urban blacks and Hispanics of the same age look like wiry, tough boxers or football players!

There is actually a very good explanation for this. I am not kidding.

Joh Haidt did extensive research into this.

He found there are 2 different types of people regardless of society, place, time, ect.

It is based on the priorities they give certain moral foundations.

Here is his Ted Talk:

I can’t stand wimpy little wussies that never became men. Mentally they are at less than 10 years old.
Real men, are awesome and gifts from God.
