Science says liberals, not conservatives, are psychotic
Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.

A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.

The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.


“The interpretation of the coding of the political attitude items in the descriptive and preliminary analyses portion of the manuscript was exactly reversed,” the journal said in the startling correction.

The erroneous report has been cited 45 times, according to Thomson Reuters Web of Science.

Brad Verhulst, a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher and a co-author of the paper, said he was not sure who was to blame.

“I don’t know where it happened. All I know is it happened,” he told Retraction Watch, a blog that tracks corrections in academic papers. “It’s our fault for not figuring it out before.”

Re: Science says liberals, not conservatives, are psychotic
The book titled "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" has been out for years and is a very good read.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see how warped the logic of a typical liberal has become. It's blatantly obvious these people have been indoctrinated to believe these psychotic beliefs from a very young age in school. The parents did nothing to stop the dangerous and now failed social experiment.

I've often tried to get the psychology of Islam compared in Western terms.

if we divide and use terms like conservative and liberal aren't we categorizing only for political gain?

if we look at the true human behavior it's can't be defined in terms invented by the media. so is it possible to fine tune the point you are making without the divide?

see this is true, but its radicals. And exactly why there is a separation of church and state. Convervatives in a sense are progressive conservatives, they dont want to change the constitution but they want to influence amendments, progressive liberals i.e democrats wants to get rid of the constitution completely and create a new set of rules that is almost like a monarchy (no joke)

Muslims are a different breed. For one thing, centuries of cousin marriage has created a situation where the average IQ in Muslims countries is around 85-90, and dumb people often display signs of psychopathy, i.e. tendencies toward violence and lack of empathy for their victims, but also, they aren't conservative. They are statists. They are extreme social conservatives, and almost all their countries have socialist economies, so they're fiscally leftist, which means they want to control everything about you in the bedroom and the wallet. I can't think of anything more psychopathic than a whole society that wants every aspect of everyone else's life proscribed for them by government. Hell, even the Soviets let people have their vices. Sharia law is psychopathy turned into a legal system.

It's bullshit.

Liberals are Marxists, determined to destroy everything that has proven to be productive and stable in human society, in the hope that in it's destruction, a Marxist utopia will rise in its place, like North Korea.

Conservatives want to conserve tried and true, proven mechanisms for creating a stable and healthy culture, and minimize the destructive impact of disproved or irrational pushes against civilization by liberals, like letting men into little girls' toilets.

There.

 Quoting: nikki nikita


Psychopathy, by its most basic definition, is lack of empathy for others. It's not the being stupid that makes you a psychopath. It's the lack of empathy that often comes along with it. Sure, there are plenty of unintelligent people who aren't psychopaths, but it's definitely a predictor. Incidentally, being highly intelligent is a predictor, as well. You don't find a lot of average-intelligence psychopaths, statistically. On the low end, you find your murderers and rapists. On the high end, you find your high-level bankers, lawyers and politicians.

As far as the legal system aspect of it, of course, a legal system, in and of itself, is not psychopathic. Only human beings can be psychopaths, but when a bunch of psychopaths get together and write a legal code, you end up with something like Sharia law.
