Hey look if you start taking away white male privilege they freak out when they find out people of other races, genders and creeds are better than them, who knew?

Conservative being down is a good presentation choice.

Yes the text at least is not quite aligned

When I think of all the women & girls in my life that I care about, I remember that I could never be a conservative. It would be a betrayal.

Assuming this is accurate, I'm pleased to see men in the UK bucking the trend.

[–] finitebanjo 3 points 1 hour ago

They're not bucking the trend, the trend is that as women are becoming more liberal/progressive men are stagnating or regressing.

But yes at least they aren't literally nazis.

This is out of date.

People are losing faith rapidly in the left because they don't seem to be for the everyday working class Briton like they used to be.

There is a big shift going to Reform now largely because they want to reduce immigration. The left deny the situation and the right have claimed they will reduce it every year then increase.

People are flooding to the "far right"* because they don't seen the main parties address the main issue they want addressing and have been talking about for decades at this point, generations even.

_* not actually far right. But the left love throwing that term around to anyone that has a different opinion to them. They just want lower immigration, which historically has been a left leaning ideology

As women gain independence, frightened men turn to patriarchal solutions. Hence a turd like JD Vance spouting hateful and controlling rhetoric on podcasts and Ahole Tate brainwashing adolescent boys. Fuck these people.

What the fuck South Korea? Also you just know that sudden rise in liberal men in the UK is the Tories' doing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 25 minutes ago

oh yeah, South Korea has gone off the rails recently. lots of news stories about men assaulting women for the assumption that they're feminists, anti-woman politicians being elected, women losing their jobs for being (or assumed to be) feminists, it's all Very Not Good.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago

The Tories are really good at convincing people to hate them, fuck the Tories

A few folks have mentioned that these charts

  1. conflate liberal/conservative with the dominant left/right parties in these nations
  2. does not include people who do not identify with one of those dominant parties
  3. have some somewhat unreliable stats magic behind them

A lot of young men in the US are reporting themselves as "not a Democrat or Republican", and that's causing a lot of this proportional shift. I would bet that characterizes a lot of folks on this site who are not conservative.

On the flip side, in Europe extreme right parties are mostly being propped up by young men, while in other age groups men and women vote relatively similarly, which supports this finding.

[–] krashmo 11 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Exactly. I would be almost as upset with being classified as a liberal or a Democrat as I would be a conservative.

[–] Anticorp 7 points 2 hours ago

I get classified as all three depending on who I’m talking to.

[–] kautau 3 points 3 hours ago

At the same time I know many people (my brother included) that claim to be "independent" because they think that the trump camp is somehow outside the conservative camp, and therefore respond "independent" on polls. Because they think "I'm not democrat or conservative, I just want to drain the swamp" and then support trump, who is literally a swamp.

This is your brain on idealism, just pure vibes. Political astrology.
