Not surprising you would get this from this site. According to the Brits, Daily Mail is about the British equivalent to Fox News.

Anyways. Another study that Sinfix thinks he can use against the left that when has absolutely no idea what it really says or means.

But was it peer reviewed by a source that he approves of, right?

So I dug for it, and it indeed says a lot more than the cherry picked shit that's been thrown up on every mainstream conservative website. Consequently, none of those sites linked to the study. I wonder why that is....

“Despite the fact that the United States, Denmark and Argentina have very different welfare systems, we still see that — at the psychological level — individuals reason about welfare redistribution in the same way,” says Petersen. “In all three countries, physically strong males consistently pursue the self-interested position on redistribution.”
Men with low upper-body strength, on the other hand, were less likely to support their own self-interest. Wealthy men of this group showed less resistance to redistribution, while poor men showed less support.
“Our results demonstrate that physically weak males are more reluctant than physically strong males to assert their self-interest — just as if disputes over national policies were a matter of direct physical confrontation among small numbers of individuals, rather than abstract electoral dynamics among millions,” says Petersen."Interesting.

In other words, mainstream right wing conspiracy theorist websites find study that might validate them, and attempt to show causation where there is none. I can draw a stronger link to more educated people voting "liberal".

NEXT.
