Psychologists surveyed hundreds of alt-right supporters. The results are unsettling.

While it is a preliminary assessment, it validates some common perceptions of the alt-right with data. It helps us understand this group not just as straw men but as people with knowable motivations.

A lot of the findings align with what we intuit about the alt-right: This group is supportive of social hierarchies that favor whites at the top. It’s distrustful of mainstream media and strongly opposed to Black Lives Matter. Respondents were highly supportive of statements like, “There are good reasons to have organization that look out for the interests of white people.” And when they look at other groups — like black Americans, Muslims, feminists, and journalists — they’re willing to admit they see these people as “less evolved.”

Oh yeah, derailment and denial...

Back to Science being peer reviewed.

Sounds like Artificial is personally offended...

Well hey, Steve is very quick to point out bias in other media outlets, but has no problem with posting news from sites with far-left bias.

Big difference between a talking head and the findings study from psychologists which is undergoing peer review. But you know that my Alt-right friend.

I think you should just admit that you posted news from a far-left website, even though you consistently denounce those who post news from right-biased media. Everything on vox.com is very suspect, including this article.

Haha, it has high trust for news on your own fact checking site.

It's your fact-checking site, as a matter of fact. Just because it has high accuracy rating doesn't erase the fact that it also has a far-left bias.

But you know, it's hard to see what you are if a nazi is what you are.

I got under your skin so much you saved a site from me? Haha cuck!

Ahh but in this case, any bias and rhetoric is somewhat negated due to it only reporting the findings of a scientific study, look it has quotes and everything.

But you know, it's hard to see what you are if a nazi is what you are.

"lol cuck me good trollololol". In seriousness, I saved the site because I found it genuinely useful.

As for the survey itself, provided it turns out it's worth anything once it's been reviewed, I'm not particularly surprised about its findings on the alt-right. They aren't exactly the most open-minded or tolerant bunch.

Remember: this is the same place that gives Breitbart and CNN the same factual reporting rating lol. The Blaze and Zero Hedge also have the same reporting rating.

Indeed and I laugh at the "hundreds" of people surveyed. There are over 300 million people in America.

Another problem is "alt right" as a term. What does it even mean now? It was coined by a nazi, right? Richard Spencer, I think. So he meant people like him, but that is no longer what is now meant by the term. People here have called me "alt right". Despite not supporting nazis, despite not being a white nationalist.

I feel like this survey is just confirming common sense. Of course those who are truly alt right are going to agree with ideas like favoring whites over others. The ones who deserve the title are rarely hesitant to share their abhorrent views about race and perceived superiority. Part of that is because if anyone complains about it...in their minds it feeds into the narrative of their victimization.

Which the whole being obsessed with identity politics and perceived victimization is something the alt right and alt left have in common.

Hard to take a survey seriously that has "Republicans who refused to vote for Trump" and "Government employees" as a choice on how evolved people are.

So they're being racist against other white guys?

Jews and Muslims scored pretty danged high compared to "Government employees" (Lot of white guys in the post office, IRS, ect..)

That survey from a hard left wing rag😂

Yeah, but on the other hand if you're a leftist this helps your narrative so that is reason alone to take it seriously.

Well, it does have a higher 'Factual Reporting' rating than Breitbart, CNN, The Blaze, etc. But as far as bias goes, Vox is as left-biased as Breitbart is right-biased, so yeah...
