Why pill is such a good predictor of persons political views?

because people's views on everything flow from the fundamental 1st premises they hold. if someone is consistent and intellectually honest, their views will be consistent with their "vision" of the world. this is explained best in thomas sowells "a conflict of visions"

If you've taken the red pill on the nature of women chances are you're already on the path towards taking the red pill on other things: race, "equality", religion, etc.

Lots of strange things correlate oddly well with political leanings. In particular I recall a study where they were able to determine a person's political affiliation depending on how they reacted to a variety of stimuli, such as seeing a dead animal.

A lot of a person's views work on an emotional level when you get down to them, so when you relate them to feelings, they work rather well. And, well, what is a stronger feeling then that of sexual desire?

Because views on gender and race ARE hugely political stances.

The majority of men who come to red pill and are positively influenced by it are already conservative, non-liberal, anti-SJW, and they find in the red pill stuff that conforms to their preconceived viewpoints.

A liberal, anti-Trump guy will get one whiff of red pill and say "fuck all that noise" and you will never hear from him again.

In other words, you're bringing in guys who already think like you do to your little echo chamber. And yes, gender and race are highly political constructs.

Because American politics is divided into roughly 3 major tribes: red (conservative), blue (liberal) and grey (outliers like libertarians and greens).

That's why there are red states and blue states. A lot of political talk isn't earnest debate but just tribal signaling and conflict. I'm actually grey tribe, for example, but most of my friends are blues because I live in a blue state.

Even my red friends are more purple (like pro choice, pro pot, but anti taxes and anti gun control etc) because of the overarching blue state influence. Most reds in my area are red because they are part of finance culture.

I disagree with just about 95-99% of political and cultural views on TRP, and yet I'm active and follow the sub.

I can take the sexual strategy and leave the politics; it's not like I'm forced to participate or believe what they believe.

With regards to your question: I think most people who disagree with TRP politically or economically or culturally wouldn't ever bring it up because just like every other sub on reddit, it's a circlejerk and you're just asking for a torrent of downvotes - the same concept applies across the board on every other sub.

Probably because a lot of these traits are intertwined. In my experience, if someone is conservative in one area of their life it is likely to carry over into their political, religious, cultural views, etc. Same for liberals and moderates.

For example, both me and my lover are Purple Pillers, don't really think gender roles are necessarily good for everyone, are libertarians in the political spectrum, are pro-choice, not strictly religious, and are both from a white, middle/upper middle-class background.

We do have some differences, like how I'm a Deist and he's a Christian, or how I'very been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for 16 years but he fucking loves burgers, bacon, BBQ chicken, so on. But for the most part I think people tend to stay with partners who are more like them than not.

I don't know that it is. I haven't seen any evidence to show that there is a high correlation outside of anecdotes.

Honestly, I find it a bit puzzling myself.

It's not like all of the men who are struggling sexually and looking for answers are alt-right, lol.

The best answer I can give is that BPers tend to be strongly feminist, and most self-identified feminists also identify as strongly liberal and (in the US) Democratic (since the Democrats push feminist priorities), while RPers tend to be anti-feminists, a position that comes easily to conservatives and Republicans, who tend to be anti-collectivist and therefore anti-feminism as well.

I, personally, don't give a shit about the various political ideologies that accompany the pills. While feminists, especially in their current incarnation, tend to piss me off, I'm far more interested in having a satisfying sex/love/relationship life than I am in fighting political movements.

I think it is a "realz vs feelz" thing.

Liberal BP people will automatically dismiss RP as sexist and thus stay BP. Conservative people are more prone to see human nature as immutable and to take a cynical outlook on it, which makes them more likely to fall in line with RP. PPers are all over the place, but I find that most of us skew a bit left because we tend to be a data-oriented, technocratic bunch and the right in the West has had a tenuous relationship with facts for while.

SetConsumes · 2016-10-07T17:23:26+00:00

People that are idealistic, egalitarian, feminist, tend to be bp, and left wing. They can't see the rp perspective and don't want to because of their idealisms.

The true purple person sees the rp reality but still wants that egalitarian world.

Right wing people that are red pill see the world and want to be realistic at the cost of not being egalitarian and not trying to make the world a happy place.
