  Meta-analyses have revealed negative correlations between cognitive ability and social conservatism or authoritarianism, suggesting that individuals with lower cognitive abilities may be more likely to adopt socially conservative stances.

  Well there is that at least…

  This suggests that individuals with higher cognitive abilities may be slightly more likely to hold conservative economic views. However, this correlation is weak and indicates that cognitive ability is just one of many factors influencing political ideology.

  Weak correlation between higher cognitive ability correlating with more conservative economic view

  Conclusion: The researchers concluded that multiple causal mechanisms with countervailing effects might explain the low overall association between cognitive ability and economic political attitudes

  Duh…now exactly accurate title?

  As much as i like shitting on republicans, if you link sources they should at least back it up??

  Fucking great…because that absolutely prevents bad actors and not at all at the cost of normie. Like people who oppose this whole war bullshit and are just trying to live their fucking live, while still trying to somewhat keep in touch with friends and family.

  More like when it threatens some status quo or be inconvenient for them to deal with or might cause a shift to some power dynamics.

  I mean nobody(western leaders) gives a fuck about whatever is going on in Africa and Asia. And it’s quite literally mindboggling how the shit in Urkaine and Palestine is still ongoing without any major consequences for the aggressors other than mayyyybe harsh words or hurrdurr sanctions. Soo…as long as it does negatively not impact then, world leaders don’t give a shit about what other countries do.
