The idea is that for those who lack a cognitive ability to grasp complexities of our world, strict-right wing ideologies may be more appealing.

I don't like tories but in all honesty joel is probably one of the smartest people in the house. Then again he is in a house full of idiots

Don't confuse arrogance with competence.

I think you mean Conservative.

Conservatism is overwhelmingly right wing.

And you can ruminate over little details as much as you want. Have fun with that.

Your thread title says conservatives

Your subject matter is with regard to Conservatives.

I thought this was the BB forum

You can ruminate over little details as much as you want. Have fun with that.

BB represents society; society represents BB.

Not in this country. Our Tories support things like multiculturalism, feminism, removing freedom of speech to protect 'delicate' people's feelings and bending over for the EU which is all loony lefty territory

Loving the massive generalisation of this title thread. Also, very clear where your politics lie, given the other thread you've started about Harriet and classicism.

'loony lefty' - how many tabloids have you been reading?

Good to see i've made you think.

I don't care that you know where my politics lie.

Our main political parties are very broad-based. The electoral system we have dictates that.

So whilst there may be something in the research referenced in the OP's link, I think you have to be very careful how you interpret and apply it to real life.

Non, the western mainstream media is just a giant leftist propaganda machine and their constant agenda pushing disgusts me

Agreed. All i'm saying is that there are certain tendencies in certain political beliefs.

Yeah cause The Sun and The Daily Mail are very impartial.

Non of them are impartial, they are all dishing out the leftist agenda. Even the supposedly impartial BBC have gone ultra-lefty over the years. It's a shame because the BBC used to be somewhat trustworthy, not now though, they are the Guardian-lite

Nothing can be completely impartial. It isn't run by robots.

However, i'd say that left wing media at least attempts to be impartial, whereas right wing media doesn't even try.

That is a clear contradiction. If they are 'left wing media' (like the BBC) they are biased towards leftism (like the BBC). There really isn't any 'right wing media' to speak of apart from maybe Breitbart

Most politicians are self serving and greedy. It doesn't matter which party they belong to. It is why so many people are apethetic with politics in general. Joel aspires to feast at the trough with all the other piggies.

The point im making is that they are self-critical. Right wing media seems to rejoice in patting each other on the back.

Most of the media at the moment is right wing, The Sun and The Mail in particular? You'll probably come back and say that they are not because the tories aren't very right wing any more but I think the way the media has demonised people on benefits in this country still shows their right wing attributes.

No they aren't, they never criticise the leftist agenda because they actively support it. Not to mention all the ultra-leftists on Facebook and Twitter harass and abuse anyone who dares speak out against their insane ideology

Think about the context. Facebook and Twitter are social media.
