Anyhow, back to topic:

The fuck does 1972 have to do with anything?
Well it was cca. the 1970s the last time that any ‘leftist’ line of thought could have been construed as something remotely ‘novel’ or ‘reformist’.
(Not that i have much recollection of the era as an infant at the time, other than the overwhelming dystopian dreariness of it all on the arse-side of the iron curtain. The ugliest form of human history, communism.)
So, are you a racist now, Father Ed?
(Go on, go on, go ON, GO ON, GO ON 111!!!!!!!!1!)
C'mon ed lighten up

“Conservatives�? - who the hell is a conservative here? Or do you think i am a “conservative� You’re even more imbecile then than i ever credited you with.
Lest you haven't got the memo, we don't live in 1972 anymore. Since quite a long while.
The fuck does 1972 have to do with anything? The studies are about political views held by the right wing, and your stance against immigration is literally quoted on there.
Your amydgala's so big I can see it from here, woman. :D
I found the other study http://www.psych.nyu.edu/vanbavel/lab/documents/Jost.etal.2014.BBS.pdf.
Recent enough (2014) and a very good read.
It's not like the human brain changed in 2 yrs. Sorry, but stupid argument of the guy who said the studies are too old.

Unfortunately i dont have the time, or patience, or interest, to read 54 pages of this. I gave it a glance, but i have a headache too, so fuck it.

That piece you linked - already in the first paragraph there’s the muddled-up statement:
“the supporters of innovation and reform, sometimes referred to as liberalsâ€
^
In the clinical, dictionary-definition sense “liberal†may have originally referred to ’supporters of innovation and reform’, but in practice ‘liberal’ means the polar opposite of all that, since a long time. The correct term for “supporter of innovation and reform†would be ‘libertarian’ (of the so-called “right wing†kind). Since ‘liberalism’ fully aligned itself with the socialist / leftist line of ideology, liberalism has become the most regressive, retrograde, illiberal force since state-communism collapsed.
So i find it difficult to give credit to that study, unless it clears up the terminology - i see it even mentions the cavaliers vs roundheads in the intro, a good example of socialist illiberacy but i doubt the author meant it that way. Haven't read it though, just glimpsed thru the beginning.

a good deal of xenophobia. This obviously means fear of change and the unknown.
“Xenophobia†(aka ‘involuntary, visceral repulsion of foreign-ness’) - is probably the most misused, misinterpreted, incorrect buzzword of the time. Sure it is an existing condition affecting an extremely small number of the population (the true xenophobes) - but i have to come across yet someone who would feel repulsed by the mere idea of someone else being French, Icelandic, Japanese, Australian, Croat, Flemish, Welsh, etc. etc. If that was the case, people would never leave their own countries - not even for a holiday.
‘Xenophobia’ is simply a meaningless term employed by the bigots to shoot down any rational, factual discussion. Of course it always pops up when legitimate issues are being discussed, such as the effects of 3rd-world mass-migration on resources etc.
Yeah, but those tricks don't pass by me. I ignore them as they are irrelevant. I just use the word for its definition. There are people that really are afraid of other countrymen for no good reason. And these people are in large numbers.

As if fear of getting raped, stabbed, killed, robbed, blow up and after that the government covering it up, lying to you, the media, the world, the police and you getting no justice and still being faced with the same reality of getting raped, stabbed, killed, robbed, blow up is something that should not worry you.
