More intelligent people can be secure in the fact that if the world changes suddenly they'll probably be able to adapt quickly enough. Less intelligent people less so.
I'm guessing the effect is a lot stronger for social than fiscal conservatism (if it exists at all for fiscal conservatism when controlling for social attitudes).
Not particularly surprising. Neither side is particularly good, it's kind of a result of the 2 party system, which is honestly what makes me jealous of Europoors and their proportional representation.
There have certainly been some great conservative thinkers, but the conservative "movement" or whatever you want to call it is pretty fuckin dumb. Still, at least our conservatives aren't making us get porn loicences, hahaha britbongs btfo
It's the era or loudmouths, everywhere it's a two party system now, and both sides tend to become extememly retarded to the point that there is no middle ground, either you are Hitler or stalin, thanks to internet being accessible to every fuckin retard on the planet.

who would be the last good one who was not solely focused on economics ? Now the poor rightoïds are left with Shapirou & Peterson, and calling those guys intellectuals is an insult to every book on the planet.
That shit sucks. Most parties don’t have enough power to make a difference, and it becomes just a massive deadlock greased by kickbacks and widespread exchange of favors.

Despite making up only 13% of the Reddit userbase, conservatives make up 50% of the site's boomer posts.

It's true in some countries. In the country that matters the most Democrat IQ is slightly lower than Republican
1 Slump_o 2019-05-27
Countries?All i can decipher from this fentanyl induced reply is that your IQ is sliding off the left end of the bell curve.

No surprise from me. I’m well versed in centrist material analysis.

There's a satirical game called Liberal Crime Squad. It has the most accurate definition of Liberal/conservative I've ever heard.
Liberals = People smart but not wise
Conservatives = Wise people but not smart
Centrists = Perfection
1 Intensely_Accurate 2019-05-27
And if you're both smart and wise and you have a big cock? Radical centrist.
1 tankatan 2019-05-27
Liberals really aren't smart for the most part.

Conservitard proves post title correct by being illiterate

Illiteracy is attempting to destroy the most efficient and innovative health industry in the world by means of regulation.

This has to be bait

That same research tends to show that libertarians are smarter than either. Are you telling me we should be trying to fuck children, OP?

Anyone who cares about IQ is a retard.
