    Absolute dog shit misleading headline as usual, but the findings are pretty predictable.

    When looking at individuals with left leaning beliefs, those who are higher in narcissistic and psychopathic traits also tend to be more antiheirarchical and politically violent.

    The authors of this study have written a bunch of other similar studies where they find narcissistic individuals are more likely to be involved in activism of all kinds.

    From their own conclusion of their paper:

    Also, with the dark-ego-vehicle principle, our research provides a possible explanation for the psychological mechanisms driving some individuals to participate in political activism independently of their political orientation

    Emphasis mine. They clearly state it has nothing to do with a person’s political ideology. Narcissistic people tend to be more involved in activism and protests, regardless if it’s left or right leaning.

    The downvoted are hilarious.

    Echo chambers don’t want new or opposing ideas to ever enter. Must downvote anything that doesn’t fit into one’s preexisting world view. Even if this study is pure bullshit or title is clickbait nonsense, people shouldn’t be downvoting it. They should be debating it if they think it is false or taking it in and trying to better themselves.
