Conservatives are scared all the time and that's good, actually.

    Imagine admitting that you're just biologically predisposed towards fear as if that's a positive quality. "Yes I am actually a primal beast who jumps at my own shadow, like all great predators do. This means I'm the pinnacle of biology!"

    If you believe you're an 'alpha male' (or whatever Greek letter they're on now), I guess it makes sense to believe you are the pinnacle and every deviation from you is not indicative of anything negative in you, but is instead indicative of problems the 'betas' are facing

    Also that tweet lmao

    1. Conflating leftists and liberals
    2. 'My brain more fearful of brown people and that's good'
    3. Phobic is a slur
    4. Misunderstanding that 'smaller' is not 'atrophied' lmao, as one indicates a comparison between two masses without bias, and the other indicates one is undersized relative to another

    Without an average size reference, it’s wrong to say whether one is too large or the other is “atrophied”. Using science as a pretext for whatever story they wanted to tell.

    The answer is simply that the liberal brainworm tends to move around after it consumes neurons while the conservative brainworm likes to stay in one spot.

    There's an old story I remember but can't find a good citation to, that discussed a medical investigation into SIDS during the early 20th century. In an effort to determine the cause of these dead infants, a series of autopsies was performed and compared against adults. One finding in the autopsy was the size of the pituitary gland, which was quite small in the adults but comparatively large in the infants. The investigators concluded that an over-large pituitary was contributing to the infant death and therefore recommended irradiating the necks of babies as a precautionary measure.

    Of course, this did not decrease the rate of SIDS in the targeted population. Just the reverse.

    The problem in the methodology was that the town in question had a number of large coal stacks that rained toxic soot on the population. Long exposure to this fallout was functionally irradiating the population. Furthermore, the adult corpses being studied were all industrial workers with unusually high exposure. The infants being studied had healthy glands, and the adults were the ones with a chronic condition.

    The answer is simply that the liberal brainworm tends to move around after it consumes neurons while the conservative brainworm likes to stay in one spot.

    I contend that its lead poisoning all the way down.

    Your brain scan shows you are highly susceptible to brainworms, so you are being sent to a special education camp for everyone's benefit.

    A smaller amygdala means you feel your feelings more intensely, not less.

    Yeah no shit, "brave" is definitely a term I would use to describe the partisans facing certain death to resist fascism all the way to the gallows. Or the Red Army clinging on to Leningrad until the siege was broken. Or taking up arms against Americans with little to no formal military training in the jungles of Vietnam.

    Or standing alone against 40,000 Japanese troops sniping them with iron sights and no food in the Manchurian winter
