@AwkwardPain@admyral@esjesjesj "thing that gives the most freedom" isn't the objective best thing. I can't believe i have to explain this.
It's only what you think is the best thing, and even then, idk if you would apply that to everything.
You're not stupid, i think you know the problem with what ur saying
@AwkwardPain@admyral@esjesjesj The was just one question from the study, something that doesn't have a "correct" answer, unless you believe in objective morality. You don't like that, which is exactly why you pretend different questions were asked in the study.
@admyral@esjesjesj No im saying you're making up a set of questions in your head and applying those to the study because you can't debunk what the study actually indicates :)
@DoughNee@orntwo@shimmerjade But it doesn't prove infighting tho? It shows that a wider range of answers was associated with republican identity on these eight issues. The graph does not show how republicans felt about other Republicans holding those different positions.
@DoughNee@orntwo@shimmerjade The distance between the nodes show how often those answers were held together by the same respondents, not about how much you like or hate people with different views? They did measure reactions to people with different views, but that was separately in the vignette experiment
@dmscoon@kangminlee wtf are you talking about? You previously said "the length of the lines and distances between dots apparently have no meaning", then said "the meme doesn't explain what it is". Do you expect the legend to go into detail about everything? Why not just read the study?
@dmscoon@kangminlee The "meme" is based on a study. Do you only like to read headlines? To actually know what the lines represent, you have to read the study. Which is exactly why i showed you the answer from the study...
@dmscoon@kangminlee What are you talking about? Node colors indicate agreement/disagreement, and as i just showed you form the study, dots being closer means they more often choose the same answer.
@dmscoon@kangminlee No, you're mixing up node color with the lines. "Attitudes that participants frequently selected together are therefore located in relative proximity in the network whereas attitudes that rarely co-occurred in a single participants' responses are placed further apart."
@goupixoff@kangminlee Don't know what your cope is, but obviously the study if anything indicates a noticeably more internal variation for republicans.
