Brain wash or brain damage are the only ways people support right wing politics unless they're fundamentally psychopathic people

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting episode. So basically it wasn't the stroke like everyone parrots. He was always a weirdo.

Chasing after a jogger with a shotgun, and vandilizing a local business (both as major) is pretty shitty behavior.

so it seems a lot like brain damage removes your empathy or makes you a greedy war mongering asshole.

It can be good tho...

It all depends on what gets damaged and what you're starting off with.

In general the bits at the front by your forehead regulate impulses, so losing that makes you more of an asshole. That's also where empathy happens.

The first parts by your spine generate those impulses, so damage there could chill someone who's already an asshole.

It doesn't take damage tho, with like 15 minutes of training anyone can predict political leanings from a normal brain scan with I er 80% accuracy.

It's not a permanent difference, the brain can change well into old age.

But as a general rule, the left uses their front brain. The right uses their hind brain.

And our brain is like a muscle. What we use often gets bigger and more active.
