Yet another reason why democracy needs to be abolished. The
electorate is so unbelievably retarded that they can be swayed
by any sort of propaganda...
[quote]84% of Trump voters worry about discrimination against
whites and think Christianity is under attack
New polling released today by Project Home Fire in partnership
with University of Virginia's Center for Politics has found that
Trump voters are animated by concerns about anti-white
discrimination and the fate of Christianity in America.
[...]
The polling found that 52% of Trump voters said they strongly
agreed with the statement, "I worry that discrimination against
whites will increase significantly in the next few years," a
figure that rises to 84% when including those that somewhat
agree. An even higher percentage, 61%, strongly agreed with the
notion that "Christianity is under attack in American today,"
which also rises to 84% when including people who somewhat
agree.
Meanwhile, Biden voters largely disagreed. On both counts, only
38% of Biden voters strongly or somewhat agreed that anti-white
discrimination is a problem and that Christianity is under
attack. 91% of Democrats strongly or somewhat agreed that
"system racism in America is a real and serious problem."
Further polling conducted by the group revealed just how tied to
immigration Trump voter's concerns were; upwards of 80% of them
strongly or somewhat agreed that they were worried about paying
higher taxes due to illegal immigrants using healthcare,
welfare, and education resources. A similar percentage were
strongly or somewhat in agreement with the notion that they
would "suffer personally" from the US being more socialist as a
result of immigration.
"Trump voters are deeply and personally animated by a strong
anti-immigration sentiment that unites their thinking across
previously distinct and separate policy areas," the report
observes.[/quote]

[quote]Social dominance theory (SDT) is a social psychological
theory of intergroup relations that examines the caste-like
features[1] of group-based social hierarchies, and how these
hierarchies remain stable and perpetuate themselves.[2]
According to the theory, group-based inequalities are maintained
through three primary mechanisms: institutional discrimination,
aggregated individual discrimination, and behavioral asymmetry.
The theory proposes that widely shared cultural ideologies
(“legitimizing myths”) provide the moral and intellectual
justification for these intergroup behaviors[3] by serving to
disguise privilege as “normal”
[...]
A primary assumption in social dominance theory (SDT) is that
racism, sexism, nationalism, and classism are all manifestations
of the same human disposition to form group-based social
hierarchies.[13] The social tiers described by multiple theories
of stratification become organized into hierarchies due to
forces that SDT believes are best explained in evolutionary
psychology to offer high survival value.[14] Human social
hierarchies are seen to consist of a hegemonic group at the top
and negative reference groups at the bottom.[15]
[...]
SDT believes that decisions and behaviors of individuals and
groups can be better understood by examining the “myths” that
guide and motivate them. Legitimizing myths are consensually
held values, attitudes, beliefs, stereotypes, conspiracy
theories,[23] and cultural ideologies. Examples include the
inalienable rights of man, divine right of kings, the protestant
work ethic, and national myths.[24][20] In current society, such
legitimizing myths or narratives are communicated through
platforms like social media, television shows, and films, and
are investigated using a variety of methods including content
analysis, semiotics, discourse analysis, and psychoanalysis.
[25] The granularity of narrative extends from broad ideologies
at the highest level to middle level personal myths (positive
thinking of oneself as a successful smart dominant, or
submissive inferior[26]), reaching the lowest level of
behavioral scripts or schemas for particular dominant-submissive
social situations.[27] Categories of myth include:
paternalistic myths (the dominant hegemony serves society,
looks after incapable minorities)
reciprocal myths (suggestions that dominants and outgroups
are actually equal)
sacred myths (karma or divine right of kings as a
religion-approved mandate to dominate others)[28][/quote]

Economic factors have been used to explain why large US cities
are even more segregated than they were during the Jim Crow
days, despite legal barriers to integration being removed.

HTML https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/in-step-with-income-inequality-us-cities-more-geographically-segregated-than-ever-13050270/
But "racial/ethnic preferences" are also driving this. (Parental
preference for school districts is typically painted as a
primarily economic issue!)
[quote]White, Asian and Latino parents in New York City all
express strong racial/ethnic preferences in where to send their
kids to high school, according to a study just published in
Sociology of Education. The study suggests that these
preferences contribute substantially to school segregation in
New York, which has one of the most racially segregated school
systems in the country.
“Part of what’s going on is white parents living in a diverse
city who don’t send their kids to Black neighborhood schools,”
said study author Chantal Hailey, an assistant professor of
sociology at The University of Texas at Austin. “But the choices
and preferences of non-white parents also contribute to school
racial and ethnic segregation.”
[...]
She found that when white, Asian and Latino parents were
presented with the choice of otherwise similar schools that were
majority Black, majority white, majority Latino or mixed, the
racial/ethnic demographics directly influenced their
preferences.
White parents rated the hypothetical majority white school
highest, followed by the mixed school, then the majority Latino
and Black schools. Asian parents, like their white peers, were
also less willing to attend the majority Latino and Black
schools. Latino parents preferred the majority Latino school,
and most wanted to avoid the majority Black school. Black
parents showed no statistically significant preference for any
of the schools based on racial/ethnic composition.
The results of Hailey’s experiment were consistent with the
real-world administrative data on family preference in the New
York high schools. Controlling for numerous other school
characteristics, white families were 97% less likely to rank
majority Black schools first on their applications compared with
majority white schools, and 84% less likely to rank majority
Latino schools first. Asian families were 90% less likely to
rank majority Black schools first and 45% less likely to rank
majority Latino schools first. And Latino families were 67% less
likely to rank majority Black schools first on their
applications compared with majority Latino schools.[/quote]

Also, as we know, children are less racist than adults:
[quote]Hailey’s study also queried eighth grade students to see
whether their racial/ethnic preferences aligned with or diverged
from their parents’. She found that there were substantial
differences, particularly in the degree of aversion to the
majority Black school.
White students, for instance, preferred the majority white
school but were half as averse to the majority Black school as
their parents. White eighth graders also did not distinguish
between their preferences for the majority Latino, majority
Black and mixed schools.
Latino parents and their children preferred the majority Latino
school, but the parents rated the majority Black school as least
desirable. Their kids did not distinguish between their
willingness to attend the majority white, majority Black and
mixed schools.[/quote]
"Black" students don't want to put up with constant racist
bullying?
[quote]Black parents did not show any strong preference for
schools by their racial/ethnic composition. Black students, on
the other hand, expressed less willingness to attend the
majority white school compared with the majority Black, mixed,
and majority Latino schools.[/quote]
The most Westernized "minority":
[quote]There were no statistically significant differences
between Asian parents’ and students’ school preferences based on
their racial/ethnic composition.[/quote]

[quote]Schelling's model of segregation is an agent-based model
developed by economist Thomas Schelling.[1][2] Schelling's model
does not include outside factors that place pressure on agents
to segregate such as Jim Crow laws in the United States, but
Schelling's work does demonstrate that having people with "mild"
in-group preference towards their own group could still lead to
a highly segregated society via de facto segregation.[3][4][5]

Run a simulation of this here:
[quote]Racial segregation has always been a pernicious social
problem in the United States. Many factors have contributed to
segregation including prejudice, zoning laws, housing
discrimination, and loan discrimination. Although much effort
has been extended to desegregate our schools, churches, and
neighborhoods, the US continues to remain segregated by race and
economic lines.
In 1971, the American economist Thomas Schelling created an
agent-based model that suggested inadvertent behavior might also
contribute to segregation. His model of segregation showed that
even when individuals (or "agents") didn't mind being surrounded
or living by agents of a different race or economic background,
they would still choose to segregate themselves from other
agents over time! Although the model is quite simple, it
provides a fascinating look at how individuals might
self-segregate, even when they have no explicit desire to do so.

[quote]Study: Trump fans are much angrier about housing
assistance when they see an image of a black man
In contrast, Clinton supporters seemed relatively unmoved by
racial cues.
All it takes to reduce support for housing assistance among
Donald Trump supporters is exposure to an image of a black man.
That’s the takeaway from a new study by researchers Matthew
Luttig, Christopher Federico, and Howard Lavine, set to be
published in Research & Politics. In a randomized survey
experiment, the trio of researchers exposed respondents to
images of either a white or black man. They found that when
exposed to the image of a black man, white Trump supporters were
less likely to back a federal mortgage aid program. Favorability
toward Trump was a key measure for how strong this effect was.
The study is just the latest to show that racial attitudes are a
powerful predictor for support for Trump — and the newest to
suggest that such attitudes play a major role in Americans’
views toward public policy. Previous studies have found that
racial resentment was a much stronger indicator of support for
Trump than views about the economy. And other research has shown
that priming people to think about race can make them more
conservative on a host of issues.
[...]
“Support for Donald Trump — not partisanship or ideology —
uniquely captures distinct reactions to our experimental
manipulation of race,” they conclude. “That is, support for
Donald Trump appears to serve as a basis for polarized responses
to racial cues in its own regard.”
[...]
A lot of studies show racial attitudes are a big deal in US
politics
The most straightforward research in this area looks at how
views on race influenced support for Trump.
One paper, published in January by political scientists Brian
Schaffner, Matthew MacWilliams, and Tatishe Nteta, found that
voters’ measures of sexism and racism correlated much more
closely with support for Trump than economic dissatisfaction
after controlling for factors like partisanship and political
ideology.

And one telling study, conducted by researchers Brenda Major,
Alison Blodorn, and Gregory Major Blascovich shortly before the
election, found that if people who strongly identified as white
were told that nonwhite groups will outnumber white people in
2042, they became more likely to support Trump. That suggested
that there’s a big racial element to support for Trump.
[...]
As researchers Sean McElwee and Jason McDaniel explained for
Vox, racial attitudes are a very strong predictor for beliefs
about government spending. “For decades, social scientists have
found that attitudes about race, particularly toward African
Americans, persistently impact political attitudes and opinions
toward government services, spending, and welfare,” they wrote.
McElwee and McDaniel measured racial resentment, economic peril,
and support for more government spending. They found that higher
measured racial resentment correlated with a preference for
decreased government spending and services, while more economic
insecurity appeared to correlate — but not at a statistically
significant level — with more support for increased government
spending.

Check out that second image. Higher "economic anxiety" actually
correlates to lower "racial resentment"! (Although the author
says the trend of "economic peril" is not statistically
significant, so, in other words, its trend is technically
neutral based on their statistical calculations)

Speaking of which, what's going on in Madagascar these days? The
reason I bring it up in conjunction with the above point is
because it made me think of this:
Madagascar Plan
[quote]The Madagascar Plan was a proposal by the Nazi German
government to forcibly relocate the Jewish population of Europe
to the island of Madagascar. Franz Rademacher, head of the
Jewish Department of the German Foreign Office, proposed the
idea in June 1940, shortly before the Fall of France. The
proposal called for the handing over of control of Madagascar,
then a French colony, to Germany as part of the eventual peace
terms.
The idea of re-settling Polish Jews in Madagascar, then part of
the French Empire, was investigated by the Polish government in
1937,[1][2] but the task force sent to evaluate the island's
potential determined that only 5,000 to 7,000 families could be
accommodated, or even as few as 500 families by some
estimates.[a] Because efforts by the Nazis to encourage the
emigration of the Jewish population of Germany before World War
II were only partially successful, the idea of deporting Jews to
Madagascar was revived by the Nazi government in 1940.[/quote]

While undoubtedly there were men unable to find sexual partners
in all civilizations, I am quite sure that only Western
civilization that could come up with calling such men "incels"
(with the connotation that someone is supposed to be assigned to
provide them with sex). In all other historical civilizations,
where polygamy was generally legal, it would have been
considered entirely normal for some people to have more spouses
and hence others to have none. It is only the (supremely
patriarchal) Western civilization with its ban on legal polygamy
that caused Western men to feel automatically entitled to one
spouse each, and hence consider failure to acquire this
sufficient reason to become misogynistic.

[quote]Supporters of Democratic candidates tend to be less
cognitively rigid and more interpersonally warm than Trump
supporters, according to new research published in the Journal
of Social and Political Psychology. This was found to be true
even for supporters of left-wing Democratic candidates such as
Bernie Sanders, suggesting that extreme liberals and extreme
conservatives do not share similar psychological
dispositions.[/quote]
HTML https://www.psypost.org/2022/01/trump-supporters-exhibit-greater-cognitive-rigidity-and-less-interpersonal-warmth-than-supporters-of-liberal-candidates-study-finds-62400
Just reading that shows how intuitive it is. Why would a
so-called "extreme liberal" Sanders supporter be less empathetic
than a mainstream liberal? Intuitively, we would expect the
opposite--the Sanders-supporting liberals are motivated by
social justice, whereas the mainstream liberals are just
corporate elitists.
[quote]“There is an ongoing debate in psychology about whether
liberals and conservatives fundamentally differ from each other
(asymmetry), or whether both extreme liberals and conservatives
are similar to each other on various psychological dimensions
(symmetry),” explained study author Jake Womick, a postdoctoral
research associate at the University of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill.
“So, for instance, past work has shown cognitive rigidity and
interpersonal coldness are linked to conservatism. There is a
question of whether this is unique to conservatives, or if these
might apply to anyone who endorses extreme ideology, regardless
of whether they are on the left or right.[/quote]
???
This is why people don't give a shit about what "experts" have
to say. The left literally says they are motivated by social
justice, and left-leaning journalists write articles with
headlines titled "I Don't Know How To Explain To You That You
Should Care About Other People". Anyone who has spent 3
milliseconds examining politics would know how obvious the
left-right empathy divide is.
[quote]The participants also completed psychological assessments
of four variables representing cognitive rigidity (openness to
experience, active open-minded thinking, dogmatism, and
preference for one right answer) and two variables representing
interpersonal warmth (compassion and empathy).
“In general, we primarily found support for the asymmetry
hypothesis,” Womick told PsyPost. “Supporters of relatively
extreme Democratic candidates (Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth
Warren) were similar to supporters of more moderate Democratic
candidates (Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg) and were not
similar to Trump supporters. This trend was particularly strong
for interpersonal warmth.”[/quote]
