Makes perfect sense to me.


People Disgusted by Body Odour More Likely to Be Right Wing

CHICAGO - DECEMBER 7:

Research conducted by the University of Stockholm, Sweden, also found that left-wingers were less revolted by bad personal hygiene, reports MailOnline.

Psychologists believe that it represents a deep-rooted “defence mechanism” against contagious diseases.

Indeed, a Royal Society paper proposed in 2011 that disgust “evolved to motivate infectious disease avoidance”.

The study’s author, Dr. Jonas Olofsson, said: “There was a solid connection between how strongly someone was disgusted by smells and their desire to have a dictator-like leader who can suppress radical protest movements and ensure that different groups ‘stay in their places’.

“That type of society reduces contact among different groups and, at least in theory, decreases the chance of becoming ill.”


Researchers theorise a correlation between how test subjects wanted the world to be ordered and the rates of levels of disgust to bad breath, smelly feet, urine, faeces, sweat, and flatulence.

The more a person disliked bad smells, the greater they agreed with statements such as the need to trust “the proper authorities”, need a “mighty leader”, and want to ignore “noisy rabble-rousers”.

The paper, published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, also details that in a further experiment those who expressed greater aversion to bad smells were more likely to have supported Donald Trump than Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Studies published last year on the characteristics of political polar opposites found that attractive people were more likely be conservative and another found that socialists are more likely to be physically weak.

This sounds more like current Leftists, which refutes the conclusion of the study.

I hate to be put in the position of defending leftists, but it sounds bogus to me.

I can't stand filthy hippies.

I recall being on Metro once and the person in the seat in front of me was an archetypical hippie. Long unkempt hair, scruffy beard, torn jeans, that faint lingering smell of marijuana and body odor.

You know the type.

Looking at the back of his head and neck I realized he had lice.

I stood up and moved away.

Stinky, filthy hippie.

Of course only one side gets to define "radical" and "different".
