Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The great part about so many studies being done on this, is I can just go grab a different peer reviewed academic study every time someone doesn't believe it...
I already linked someone else what I was talking about.
So I'll give you a different study where they studied people with lesions in either area, and discovered once again that the size/health/ability of those regions correlates to political leaning.

What ill never understand, is why people think literal physical changes to the brain wouldn't correlate to political reasoning...
What do you think pushes people to one side of the aisle or the other besides differences in our brains?
Ok, so first, I've read it but not any of the citations or any other follow up work.. but that study is about people with lesions in their brain, what about people with healthy brains? Can you identify conservatives with just a scan if they don't have a brain injury? I still doubt it, much less 'anyone with two minutes of training'. Or maybe you mean that half (if not more) of the world population suffers some kind of brain lesion or disorder? And that sample size seems also quite small and, without really being able to actually tell, not very random (the groups with lesions are overwhelmingly white, while the control group isn't...).
Don't get me wrong, I do think that conservatism is a disease/disorder. But a social, memetic one. That can't be diagnosed or cured like physical or mental problems.
Anyway, it doesn't convinced me, but it doesn't matter cause I don't really have any use for that information since I can't scan people's brains, modify them, or cure injuries. But I'm sure the fascists taking ahold of the world will be (are?) very interested on this bullshit, and I won't be surprised if they end up putting anyone with a functional prefrontal cortex down.
Well, I literally said it was in another comment already....

Now, personally if someone said that, and I didn't see it...
I would assume it was because for some reason I couldn't see the comments from the other person.
So I would sign out, and then be able to see the comments.
If you still have questions after reading that comment and that study, no worries
Take a deep breath, remember I'm not arguing with anyone, I'm explaining scientifically repeatable experiments, and ask your questions.
