Why are leftists like this? Pure spite because they are, on average, uglier, shorter, poorer, weaker, more neurotic, more mentally ill, more selfish, narcissistic, etc. They also have low disgust sensitivity, impaired threat detection, and so on.

I will post many citations in 🧵

Leftists have lower disgust sensitivity:
2011

Leftists don't believe that disgusting things are immoral:

Simulating brain damage makes people Left-Wing:
2015

Leftists have smaller amygdalas (part of the brain responsible for processing threats, among other things):
2011 doi.org/10.1093/scan/n…
doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Smaller amygdala...
correlates with increased mental illness:

A damaged amygdala reduces threat-perception:

People with amygdala damage experience sudden uncontrollable fear and panic when threatened (sound familiar?):

Women with more feminine faces, lower testosterone, and higher estrogen have greater maternal tendencies (e.g. don't kill their babies, like Leftists):
2012

AI study mentioned earlier also noted Leftist women are less attractive:

Leftist men have lower testosterone; giving moderate Leftists steroids makes them more Right-Wing:
2021

Men with higher testosterone lie less frequently:
2012 doi.org/10.3886/E15544…
doi.org/10.1371%2Fjour…

Men with higher testosterone are more likely to adopt heterodox positions, question consensus, impartially analyze information:
2020

Higher testosterone correlates with increased ingroup preference and outgroup discrimination:
2019 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19…
doi.org/10.7717/peerj.…

High testosterone produces prosocial behavior and heightened ingroup preference in the face of external threats, while low testosterone produces selfish behavior (again, does this sound familiar?):

Envy, selfishness, egalitarianism, and willingness to harm the innocent predict economic Leftism/redistribution:

Leftists are anti-White:
See image

Normal people are subconsciously more empathetic toward their own race:
2014

To save the lives of others, Leftists are willing to kill innocent Whites but not innocent Blacks:
2009 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
doi.org/10.1017/S19302…

Leftists are more tolerant of anti-White than anti-Black discrimination:
2022

Being exposed to anti-White ideology makes Leftists more anti-White:
2019

Leftists are just "bad people." QED.doi.org/10.3386/w30236

In summary, I think we can conclude that Leftism is primarily motivated by spite and desire for revenge against "society" (for White Leftists that means other Whites), which they blame for nature making them losers.
