Originally posted by HTS I'm not disputing this because I can't find the source I'm thinking of and it may not even be disputable, but wasn't this study (or one very similar to it) completely flawed? Didn't it turn out that they punched in some numbers wrong or something, and it turned out that right wingers were more prone to empathetic/emotional decision making? Or was that the original conclusion and it was revised to this? Either way kind of makes intuitive sense (rightwing emotional/empathetic thinking is why they're so defensive about things like border control - they're trying to keep people safe from their point of view).
Anyone have any idea what the hell I'm talking about or am I completely off my shit?
At least HTS understands the right.
'We're trying to have a country here'
'We're trying to make it nice here'
'We're trying to make a living here'
'My people are all doing the same'

Originally posted by HTS On the topic of tribalism and empathy, it's not so cut and dry. Liberals don't empathize well with conservatives, for instance. Are liberals still empathetic? Yes. In-group/out-group preference plays a role across the political spectrum (this is - allegedly, according to the abstract at least - corroborated by Hasson, Tamir, Brahms, Cohrs, & Halperin, 2018) - at best you can say liberals are more likely to be empathetic towards out-groups than conservatives, not that conservative empathy doesn't exist because it doesn't include [as many] outgroups. Liberals are less tribalistic, but they're still tribalistic. It's still selective. Not really interested in going down a research paper rabbithole here though, so I'm totally willing to concede that the study you posted in the OP represents the most up-to-date and accurate information on the subject (whether that be true or not).
What I'm mostly interested in is if this is the same study I was thinking of (that got it completely backwards at first). Or if it was a different study. Or if that study even exists and whether or not I'm going crazy.
Lol @ citing a different study and making anecdotal cross observations.
There's a reason they get paid to interpret data, and you don't. -

That study is referenced in your study. Just sayin'. And I don't think an absolutist "only liberals are empathetic, because no true empath is tribalistic" is supported by your study either. In-group preferences concerning empathy don't preclude a person from being empathetic (or even preclude them from being more driven by emotional/empathetic responses). -

Referenced but not in the countext you claim. You are giving your opinion. This study looks at DATA.
If you can find this imaginary comprehensive argument you mentioned I'd love to hear it but otherwise u r falling flat on your tits here miss -

Fair. Feel free to disregard this. Your argument that in-group empathy isn't "true empathy" is similarly baseless however. -

All the left does is destroy. Nothing positive comes out of their shitty ideas, ever -

Doubly stupid in America because you have to either register as a Democrat, Republicant or Independent to even vote in the primaries of 46/50 states.
Real enlightened people realize we need to abolish first past the post systems and establish a representative democracy. -

The fact you think gov handouts are a good thing is amusing. It's for reasons like that democrats/lefties should have life removed from them...moochers. -

I think we were sort of fucked from the get-go. We thought, oh, we're supposed to reproduce. Our bodies were made with these penii and vageen to reproduce, so we MUST. And then we pop out all these babbies and realize, oh, shit, we also have to feed them and water them. But the whole human condition came into play (laziness, mental illness, physical illness, etc) and we realized it's not that easy to just raise all these little fucks that we thought we were supposed to spout out.
And now here we are and everything is weird because for some reason most everyone thinks that kids are important and what with their undeservedly being here and also being neglected, they deserve somehow to be cared for. -

They are good. It's the government's job to take care of its people. That's OUR money. OUR taxes. Do you enjoy having your taxes go into the pocket of some politician? Or would you rather it go towards a baby with low bilirubin levels?
I'll help the baby. Every time. "Life is sacred" until its fucking born. Then fuck you. Get a job. If you can't get one die. 19th century capitalism revival FUCK YEAH lets go I only make 26k a year but I'll be rich someday!! -
2020-06-29 at 9:55 PM UTCIt doesn't surprise me. Liberals form a higher social caste than conservatives. People who want power, influence and success are naturally going to gravitate towards it - we can mostly tell on an instinctual level where the power structures are, which is why university has an extremely liberalizing effect on students.
