Great job. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) You didn't even read the article, you're just mad that it even exists or that there's even factual basis for something some dumb right wingers said, and that honestly is not my problem. Intellectual honesty is vital especially in this day and age and unless you demonstrate it by being willing to admit your enemy is right sometimes, and mitigating those issues, you're never going to succeed in anything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] quadropiss@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) No I'm not. I'm mad that people think mental illness happens just because and I'm mad that people stigmatize it and everything related to different neurological development/traits. I absolutely despise that shit. What I also hate is when people equate correlation to causation. I also hate when people ignore my points and decide to treat facts in the newly added to the conversation context like opinions while hypocritically telling the other person "you're just mad at the facts" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] angrystego@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago Ok. So I've read the article and it says the data was gathered as a selfreport survey. That means there are indeed more possible explanations of the results. It could mean liberals have more problems with mental health or that the conservatives have more problems with reporting their mental health problems. To resolve this issue, it would be necesary to assess the participants' health with some independent, more objective method. permalink fedilink source parent
