Study shows that liberalism is significantly associated with criminal behavior

More proof that leftism and degeneracy are one and the same.

[Chucho]

They are. And they HATE when people refuse complicity with their behaviors, hence the biggest temper tantrum in mankind history.

[ElNono]

science is garbage anyways, amirite?

[TeyshaBlue]

Since there is zero reported data from this "study", I'll just take it with the prerequisite 2 tons of salt.

The idea of liberalism is a freedom to do as you please without repercussion, and the socialism component lumped in with it means you do whatever you want and someone else pays for it. Of course laws that are meant to be restrictive are going to be broken by people who openly profess to abhor restrictive laws.

While I feel most here support many liberal objectives like social equality, identifying with a group doesn't mean your actions are supported by the group.

Seems legit.

Degeneracy =/= criminal behavior

Meaning you can be a degenerate & not (at least outwardly) break any laws either because the laws themselves find particular types of degeneracy (& others not) to be acceptable or through secrecy or both.

I'm not going to address the actual claim made within the article since I'm on my phone & can't view the charts clearly. However, the claim you've made about degeneracy is a giant leap. Degeneracy knows no race, religion, nationality, or class. Certain kinds of degeneracy however are deemed acceptable or non-acceptable (legal vs. non-legal) by certain groups that just so happen to have power.

I think the most obvious example is how pharmaceutical narcotics are being prescribed & sold around the country under many times false pretenses. People abuse them, doctors know they are being abused, yet people are still prescribed them &/or sell them, & many people die from drug OD every day. It's an epidemic, yet how many of these people actually get sent to prison? When your drug dealer is your doctor, & you make enough to support yourself/family & your insurance covers the opiate, benzo etc. cost, you don't have to steal/shoot/kill to support your addiction. But it kills people & ruins families everyday. It won't be checkmarked as "criminal behavior" but it may as well be. Yet it goes unchecked, under the protection & guise of being "acceptably" degenerate.

And there are plenty of other examples.

So, while the claim made in the article may very well be fact, it's ludicrous to make the claim you've made. They're different. It's obvious they're different to anyone who isn't blinded & guided by confirmation bias & partisanship.

Kudos to you for due diligence, but OP is either trolling or he's a hopeless fool who's not worth the effort.

Very anti-scientific and anti-intellectual post, tbh.

Degeneracy doesn't equal criminal behavior, but criminal behavior is degenerate.

Is the retard thing an act? Or do you go to bed at night after hours on this forum every day thinking you actually made an intelligent point?

You're the expert, I'll take your word for it.

Why not just do the right (& sane) thing & admit that, due to your ideological zealotry, you made a stupid post?

It's okay. I fuck up & act & say retarded things all the time.

The thing that disturbs me most about certain people, particularly on on this board, isn't that they say sometimes say stupid things...God knows I do that more than pretty much anyone I know...it's that these people say stupid things, don't admit to saying said stupid things, & then run around in logic-defying circles trying prove that what they originally said has merit-- ultimately proving themselves to be insecure, stubborn, & ignorant.

[Winehole23]

Ideological zealotry replaces conventional piety.

CN is already in heaven, sitting on the low wall that separates heaven from hell, jeering.

[Winehole23]

whether you end up in that heaven or that hell depends on who you voted for, right?

Admitting everyone fucks up is admitting your party fucks up. Admitting your party fucks is admitting that the other party not only may at times be correctly criticizing your party, but also that the other party may just make honest mistakes every now and then.

It is really simple but most people just cant ever admit they are capable of fucking up.

[Winehole23]

defining personal character as doctrinal (ideological) purity has got to be about the weirdest take ever on morality, politics and psychology.

Socialism component means you do whatever you want... Liberalism do as you please, no repercussion...

wtf?

So conservatism means you hold on to old antiquated ideas that provide comfort and believe in things like little baby Jesus

Crock of shit.

Its the later.

Dammit, I may have wasted effort.

[Winehole23]

Yet it happens daily here.it's a disease, one that rhymes with always being right and the other guy always being wrong, based on party affiliation.

we test whether and to what extent political ideology is predictive of self-reported criminal behavior

Critical thinking time.

What controls in the study eliminated the possibility that self-reporting of criminal behavior might not be fully indicative of actual tendencies?

[RandomGuy]

Once again, the only proof of anything in this thread is that conservatives like Clipper Nation suck at critical thinking.
