Why Conservatives Hate Poor People #politicalpsychology

[00:00:00]I'm going to explain the fascinating psychology research as to why the right doesn't give a about poor people. Now, humans by our nature hate inequality.

[00:00:08]Quote, "Adults, children, and even some non-human primates respond negatively to unequal distribution of valued resources, even when inequality is personally advantageous." But some people have had this good part of human nature trained out of them. Researchers use facial electromyiography and skin conductance level to measure people's emotional reaction to watching a video of homeless people explaining their struggles. So, here are the results and you can see progressives on the left and conservatives on the right. The bigger the gap in between the lines, the greater the difference in their emotional reaction between the homeless video and the control video. Quote, "While previous work suggests that conservatives may be more reactive than liberals to negative, such as threatening and disgusting stimuli, our work suggests that when it comes to economic inequality and suffering, conservatives may be less emotional reactive than liberals because of the differences in economic system justifying views." You know what this graph shows me? The elites propaganda worked. They succeeded in ripping a good quality about human nature out of these people. Now, conservatives, I want you to ask yourselves, who do you think benefits from you not caring about inequality and economic suffering? And why do you think I would connect that answer to being more submissive to authority?
