You'll never guess which political article people will repost for weeks!

Objectivism?

linux forums?

Is it religion?

[✓] conditioned to accept arguments on faith

[✓] conditioned to submit to authority

[✓] conditioned to reject evidence and learning that contradicts faith

[✓] conditioned to think the past was better and evil is rising

Passes the common sense check.

You'll never believe it, but I guessed it!!

Turns out »facts don’t care about your feelings« gets awkward when the facts start measuring vocabulary. Still, correlation isn’t destiny, and this study is about Christian nationalism, not every conservative or Christian. The headline is doing a lot more ideological cardio than the paper.

I bet I could guess

Yet another study confirming it.

The one that values fascism over democracy?

I'm fascinated about the vocabulary of that article, aimed at keeping the focus group from understanding it.

I bet we can guess in one try.

i am so surprised

“People with higher intelligence are more likely to have a general understanding of the constitution”

The ideology that offers easy (poor) answers to complex problems?

The ideology that tells them they're the good guys by fiat so long is they obey the leaders that tell them they're special?

Christofascism.

Checks out because I have low cognitive ability

Uh, let me guess. Red hats? Big trucks that aren't used for hauling? Number one sport is cow tipping?

Using data from spanning from 1989 to 2024, the researcher cross-referenced scores on a cognitive vocabulary exercise with responses to questions about how important it is to be a Christian to be “truly American.”

There are many peoples who I could consider to be ‘truly American’ but I don’t think any of them were Cristian….

it suggests Christian nationalism (like religious fundamentalism or right-wing authoritarianism) is not the result of more sophisticated and complex ruminations on politics, religious ethics, and pluralism,”

Lmao. lol. ROFL even.

Your first instinct is always correct

Everything with them is projection, and they claim liberalism / progressivism is a mental illness.

If the people of Oklahoma could read, they'd be really angry at their university right now

I learned a new term today, "European-style Christianity".

The study, published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, looked at cognitive factors while stripping out variables like demographics and education. It found that in the US, those who subscribe to the doctrine of Christian nationalism — characterized as a belief in strict social order, blurring of religion with a sense of civic belonging, and promotion of European-style Christianity — tend to correspond to a low level of cognitive ability.
