The case for being less partisan/political and being more objective

Changing your mind based on new and relevant evidence is natural and an important thing to do.[1]

The abstract for the journal article At Least Bias Is Bipartisan: A Meta-Analytic Comparison of Partisan Bias in Liberals and Conservatives which was published in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science states:

"Both liberals and conservatives accuse their political opponents of partisan bias, but is there empirical evidence that one side of the political aisle is indeed more biased than the other? To address this question, we meta-analyzed the results of 51 experimental studies, involving over 18,000 participants, that examined one form of partisan bias—the tendency to evaluate otherwise identical information more favorably when it supports one’s political beliefs or allegiances than when it challenges those beliefs or allegiances. Two hypotheses based on previous literature were tested: an asymmetry hypothesis (predicting greater partisan bias in conservatives than in liberals) and a symmetry hypothesis (predicting equal levels of partisan bias in liberals and conservatives). Mean overall partisan bias was robust (r = .245), and there was strong support for the symmetry hypothesis: Liberals (r = .235) and conservatives (r = .255) showed no difference in mean levels of bias across studies. Moderator analyses reveal this pattern to be consistent across a number of different methodological variations and political topics. Implications of the current findings for the ongoing ideological symmetry debate and the role of partisan bias in scientific discourse and political conflict are discussed."[2]

Arthur C. Brooks wrote in his article Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being: "A 2012 survey conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University asked a sample of Americans about their news-consumption habits, and quizzed them about U.S. and international political and economic events. They found that those watching the most partisan television news sources—on both the left and the right—were often less knowledgeable about world events than those who consumed no news at all."[3]

"In this article, we examine psychological features of extreme political ideologies. In what ways are political left- and right-wing extremists similar to one another and different from moderates? We propose and review four interrelated propositions that explain adherence to extreme political ideologies from a psychological perspective. We argue that (a) psychological distress stimulates adopting an extreme ideological outlook; (b) extreme ideologies are characterized by a relatively simplistic, black-and-white perception of the social world; (c) because of such mental simplicity, political extremists are overconfident in their judgments; and (d) political extremists are less tolerant of different groups and opinions than political moderates. In closing, we discuss how these psychological features of political extremists increase the likelihood of conflict among groups in society."

The Turn by Liel Leibovitz

  • The Turn by Liel Leibovitz, Tablet Magazine, DECEMBER 08, 2021
Quote: "This person goes on and on about politics." - From the video The Freedom Of Not Caring What A Narcissist Thinks.

Question: Is there anything worse than a hostile, narcissistic clown who drones on and on about his wrongheaded opinions on politics?

It is very freeing to not care what a narcissist thinks and to completely remove the person from your life. There is nothing more replaceable in your life than a hostile, narcissistic clown.

Benefits of being not overly political

"Politics is show business for ugly people." - Paul Begala, American political consultant and political commentator

Research indicates that politics is serving as a poor substitute for friendship among lonely people

Source: How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen by David Brooks. Random House (October 24, 2023) Politics, as a seductive form of social therapy for lonely people, offers a sense of belonging and moral action. However, politics does not provide community and connection, as it is fueled by resentment and a desire to validate one's side while shameing the other. Brooks expressed concerns about the increasing tendency of individuals to prioritize political affiliations and ideologies over personal relationships and friendships. Brooks notes that in a time of social fragmentation, people seek belonging and purpose. Politics, particularly in its tribal form, can offer a superficial sense of community without fostering genuine connection. This can lead to a focus on shared animosity rather than building meaningful relationships.[2]

"If political engagement becomes the primary source of social interaction, it may lead to a narrowing of social circles and echo chambers. Online political discourse can be polarizing, potentially leading to conflict and strained relationships. Individuals might prioritize political affiliations over other forms of social connection, potentially leading to isolation. While politics can be a source of social connection and engagement, it's important to maintain a balance and cultivate diverse social relationships. Relying solely on political activity for social fulfillment may lead to isolation and a limited perspective."[3]

Society has failed to teach the skills and cultivate the inclination to treat each other with kindness, generosity, and respect. Schools have historically focused on moral formation, but since World War II, the focus has gradually fallen away.

The author argues that understanding one another requires seeing people as distinct individuals, members of groups, and their social location. This requires a graduate-level education in the process of understanding another. The goal of Part 1 is to help people see people on a personal level, while Part 2 aims to help people understand and be present for people during harsh times, amid social strife and bitter conflicts of our current age.

2023 and 2024: Rise of the right-wing globally and in Europe

"According to a 2022 study conducted by more than 100 political scientists for the security firm Solace Global, around 32 percent of Europeans had voted for anti-establishment parties. This was a significant increase from 20 percent in the early 2000s and 12 percent in the early 1990s. Since the publication of this study, the influence of populism has continued to expand, leading to its impressive surge this year."[6]

  • Great power: "A great power is a nation-state that possesses significant economic, political, and military strength, allowing it to exert influence not only on its own region but also on a global scale. These nations are recognized as playing a major role in international politics and are often considered to have a decisive influence on world events."[7] (John Mearsheimer argues that being a superpower or major power involves population size, wealth and the military[8])

Multipolar:

"The global system is ‘multipolar’. Russia is one of these ‘poles’, alongside the other great powers30 – the US and China – and more amorphous regional centres of power, notably Europe, and East and South Asia. Russia’s claims to great power status are based on its history, size, nuclear arsenal, permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council and leading position among the non-Baltic states of the former Soviet Union. Within this multipolar system, relative power is moving from the West to the non-Western world."[9]

Rise of right-wing populism

Transnational right-wing politics

"American dark money supports overseas far-right forces: openDemocracy reported that, between 2008 and 2017, U.S.-based Christian fundamentalists gave $50 million to support far-right causes and parties throughout Europe (a significant sum in the European context). Russian money, bots, hackers, and propaganda have also backed multiple reactionary-populist parties. Russia loaned money to the National Front, a far-right party in France led by Marine Le Pen, in 2014 and threw its weight behind the Brexit campaign to push the United Kingdom out of the European Union."[10]

European Islamic immigration and the rise of right-wing populism

Eric Kaufmann

Professor Eric Kaufmann says about a graph showing the correlation between the projected growth of the Muslim propulation and the rise of right-wing nationalism in a country:

“ Figure 1 shows an important relationship between projected Muslim population share in 2030 and support for the populist right across 16 countries in Western Europe. Having worked with IIASA World Population Program researchers who generated cohort-component projections of Europe’s Muslim population for Pew in 2011, I am confident their projections are the most accurate and rigorous available. I put this together with election and polling data for the main West European populist right parties using the highest vote share or polling result I could find. Note the striking 78 percent correlation (R2 of .61) between projected Muslim share in 2030, a measure of both the level and rate of change of the Muslim population, and the best national result each country’s populist right has attained."[4] ”

Academic and highly educated/intelligent people, political elitism and pride/blindsidedness

"Yet the cognitive and behavioral science literature suggests that those who are highly educated, intelligent or rhetorically skilled tend to be significantly less likely than most to revise their beliefs or adjust their positions when confronted with evidence or arguments that contradict their priors. This is because, in virtue of knowing more about the world, or being better at arguing, they are better equipped to punch holes in data or arguments that contradict their prior views or to otherwise make excuses for “sticking to their guns” regardless. And so, they do...

Indeed, research suggests that people with highly refined critical capacities often deploy them to scrutinize others. Hence, those with higher education levels and academic aptitude (college GPA) tend to be less attuned than most to ambiguity, complexity, uncertainty and limitations in their own knowledge -- and less prone to innovative or creative thinking.

That is perhaps because studies show that, compared to the general public, highly educated or intelligent people tend to be more ideological in their thinking, more ideologically rigid and more extreme in their ideological leanings. Highly educated and intelligent people are also more likely to grow obsessed with some moral or political cause. Research suggests that they are more likely to overreact to small shocks, challenges or slights. Other studies have found that, while they are less likely to be prejudiced against others on the basis of things like race, they tend to be more prejudiced than most against those who seem to think differently than they do -- and often look down on those with less education.

In short, many of the biases and distortions to which all people are susceptible seem to be even more pronounced among those who are highly educated or intelligent."[11]

Thomas Sowell on the Myths of Economic Inequality

People clinging to dead ideas which have repeatedly failed: Ideological necrophilia

"Bernie Sanders’s attraction to massive, government-centered programs places him squarely among populists who dismiss the need to maintain fiscal balances and end up with unsustainable government budget deficits. The plans on his campaign website would amount to an estimated $18 trillion to $30 trillion in new spending over the next 10 years. In pledging a form of European-like socialism to throngs of adoring young people, he doesn’t mention that if they were European, many of them would be unemployed and without prospects of finding a well-paying job. The bottom line: Many of his policies have already been tested, and many don’t work all that well.

In a world in which a few keystrokes on a computer can lead to a wealth of information about the track record of a particular economic or political proposal, it’s surprising that ideological necrophilia is still so common. There are many reasons why bad ideas endure, but perhaps the most important is people’s need to believe in a leader when faced with the grave anxieties and uncertainties associated with rapid change—and the demagogue’s inclination in these fragile moments to promise anything, even the discarded notions of demagogues past, in order to obtain and retain power.

Conspiracy thinking and American politics

"This timely reissue of Richard Hofstadter's classic work on the fringe groups that influence American electoral politics offers an invaluable perspective on contemporary domestic affairs. In The Paranoid Style in American Politics, acclaimed historian Richard Hofstadter examines the competing forces in American political discourse and how fringe groups can influence — and derail — the larger agendas of a political party. He investigates the politics of the irrational, shedding light on how the behavior of individuals can seem out of proportion with actual political issues, and how such behavior impacts larger groups. With such other classic essays as “Free Silver and the Mind of 'Coin' Harvey” and “What Happened to the Antitrust Movement?, ” The Paranoid Style in American Politics remains both a seminal text of political history and a vital analysis of the ways in which political groups function in the United States."[12]

Muslims/evangelicals. Secular leftism collapsing faster than I expected

Secular leftist Vladimir Lenin

Please read the following articles:

Germany/France are two main pillars upon which Western, secular, liberalism rests now. If Gave is roughly correct (he did have a mathematical error as per the latter link given above), then an anti-atheism, anti-homosexuality, ant-feminism Muslim population may strike a huge blow against secular leftism much earlier than I thought.

On top of this, Merkel appears to be much weaker now and the French youth are becoming more right-wing in recent years.

I do know that Muslims are not assimilating and they tend to live in isolated ghettos in France (See: European desecularization in the 21st century).

My guess is that the accuracy of Gave's calculation rests on whether or not the fertility rate of French Muslims will about stay the same or significantly drop in the next 40 years.

After all is said and done, secular leftism appears to be between a quickly growing hammer of right-wing populism and an anvil of Muslim/Christian evangelicalism.

Secular leftism is collapsing much faster than I anticipated. However, I did foresee an acceleration of desecularization happening in the world so I was not completely caught off guard (see: Acceleration of 21st century desecularization).

The modern idea of retirement rather than working until you cannot

2013 Seattle Times article: "Now, governments are reversing those policies and raising retirement ages to prevent aging populations from breaking their budgets. And older people, who now enjoy better health, are working longer again: In the United States, 18.6 percent of people 65 and older were working or looking for work as of November 2013. That was up from a record-low 10.4 percent in January 1985, according to Labor Department figures dating to 1948."[13]

Traffic to Conservapedia: 2026 to 2036

"Conservapedia.com is a niche, conservative wiki encyclopedia with relatively low and declining traffic. Based on recent data, it averaged approximately 85,000 monthly visits in 2025 (derived from August 2025 figures of ~87,000 visits, adjusted for reported month-over-month drops). This baseline reflects heavy reliance on search engine traffic (about 20–25% of traffic) and direct/referral sources, with a global rank in the low millions.

...traffic is likely to decline steadily.

  • 2026: ~12% decline
  • 2027: Additional ~15% decline
  • 2028–2036: ~18% annual decline

By 2036, traffic could stabilize at a minimal level (~10,000 monthly visits), resembling a small blog rather than a viable encyclopedia. This represents an ~87% cumulative drop from 2025, aligning with the site's historical niche status and the assumed headwinds.", Source: Traffic to Conservapedia

"The betting favorite has only lost twice since 1866, according to the Conversation. The two upsets came in 1948, when Harry Truman (D) beat eight to one odds to defeat Thomas Dewey (R), and in 2016, when Trump overcame seven to two odds to beat Hillary Clinton (D)."[15]
