I really don’t like that the graphs aren’t across the same period of time.
I didn’t notice until you pointed it out. Because why wouldn’t they be??
Because there’s lies, damned lies, and statistics…
How are they lies? Honestly asking. What facts can you put forth?
I can see SK being late to the game of polling in this context. They were culturally more Conservative and no major changes happened until after about the 2010’s. Once more of the West’s culture began bleeding into theirs thanks to the Internet which them bled back into ours.
UK and Germany are likely to have longer polls. Plus, they do not vote like the USA. UK is pretty Right wing comperatively speaking, and Germany has been pretty Left leaning for 20+ years. As I follow their politics.
I think it could be perceived as vague since the charts lack the above cultural reference points so albeit the changes are likely correct, their actual starting points are likely different and relative to themselves over being a 1:1 absolute to all. We would have to see the methology of how they did the polls. But the trends are likely correct.
As far as the USA, looking at the last election results by demographic seems to track with the USA chart. Specially among minorities.
Because gaps in data are a thing? I dunno, it doesn’t really seem to change the story or the outcome. Your concerns seem overblown.
Presumably they are starting wherever the trend “started”, although I’d like to see what it was doing before that to see if this is an unusual trend or not
Omg I didn’t even notice that. It’s like the more you look at this the worse it gets.
I’m guessing the data sets they used were collected at different start times and they didn’t want to truncate it

Oh boy liberal vs conservative, what a wide variety of political opinion allowed for by the “financial times”
FT is pretty solid when it comes to data analysis like this. The point is to show a specific trend not to encompass all the data in the sources.
Yes, these graphs don’t many any sense other than generating clicks.
Right and righter.
What other social ideology is there?
Most of these are political ideologies. I asked for social ideologies.
It’s clear what liberal and conservative means here.
They’re the same thing. Politics are simply a manifestation of a persons social values.
Agree to disagree. Liberal in this context means not forcing women to have children, not suppressing LGBTQ community, and not discriminating people based on their race, gender, or sexuality.
Reserve this ‘right and righter’ snark for some other time, when it’s applicable.
I don’t know about beautiful data. That’s scary data :/
It’s only beautiful in that is well visualized. The data itself is scary.
Do you know a community that fits?
Nah, here is fine, the data is presented beautifully.
This data is anything but beautiful. Its horrendously laid out. Not intuitive in the slightest.
That’s on purpose. It’s a conservative opinion piece.
not surprising. the american right is specifically catered to address male grievances.
not fix these grievances mind you, but exploit them
And how do they exploit them?
By keeping them at a hysterical fever pitch, 24/7.
Amplifying ignorance, weaponizing mental illness.
That is the right wing and republicans, with every profane breath.
This data is the World world, not just “America world”.
Also, if men are going right, then the left needs to step up their offering.
“When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
Correct. Why would anyone go for a worse option for themselves?
Edit: A benefit to one group does not mean a detriment to others. This is not a zero sum game.
The funny thing is that the left could offer so many things for men:
- address mental health issues
- paternal leave / support for fatherhood
- Less dangerous work
- rehabilitation in prisons
- a free lamborghini
- address homelessness
All of which are mostly men issues.
Is it really worse? Or does it just hurt your feels when women can decide something on their own?
Why not both? Benefit to women, and benefit to men.
This isn’t a zero sum game.
You’re not wrong, but the wage gap? Not going to close if we give everyone a raise. It would be the same wage gap.
I’m pretty sure that by this point most reasonable people have realized that the wage gap is a myth, so that’s probably not your best example.
The gender pay gap is insignificant and inconsequential compared to the income differences between working and owning classes. Also, much of the pay gap is due to men culturally tending to not have the option of escaping the grindset. “Honey I’m going to quit my job and do something that doesn’t alienate me, yes it’s going to pay less” is not something universally accepted by wives.
Name one thing thats gotten better for men in 50 years.
While this is true, it’s also true that pendulum swings can go further in the opposite direction than equality.
While a trite example, in the recent Barbie film, at the end when things are going back to the seemingly good way, the men in Barbieland ask if they can have a seat on the supreme court and are told no, which is then explained as Barbieland being a mirror to the real world such that as there’s increased equality in the real world then equality for men in the mirror would increase.
Apparently the writers weren’t familiar with the fact there’s four women on the supreme court right now and a woman has been on the court since 1981 (around twice as close to the creation of Barbie than to the present day).
Even in the context of its justifiably imbalanced equality it failed to be proportionally imbalanced.
There’s interesting research around how the privileged underestimate the degree to which the good things that happen to them are because of privilege, but that at the same time the underprivileged overestimate how often the bad things which happen are because of bias. In theory both are ego-preserving adaptations. But it also means that either side is going to have a difficult time correctly identifying equality from their relative subjective perspectives.
While a trite example, in the recent Barbie film
You mean self aware, hyperbolic satire?
They know there have been women on the supreme court. It was a reference to second wave feminism, and inverted because that was the joke.
It was a film about plastic dolls from a corporation trying to seem less like a big bad corporation. If you’re using the Barbie movie as evidence in an actual philosophical debate around other human beings having equal rights, you have bigger problems in life.
Philosophy is all about finding meaning in common life, why shouldn’t we use the barbie movie?
Because pop culture corporate feminism isn’t actual meaningful feminism, it is an entirely different beast the serves to reinforce the patriarchy.
How does it do that?
I personally don’t like how the top left one starts at 2005, unlike every other graph, but they all have the same x scale. (I nitpick things sometimes)
If I am reading this correctly, men drifting towards conservative and women drifting towards liberal?
That would reflect the culture found in apps - I feel like men with andrew tate and things like truth social/rumble/kick and women drift more towards stuff like reddit/tiktok/instagram where you can usually see a lot more liberal idealogy.
The term you missed to use was, “echo chambers.” Both both and all.
i sorry about women in south korea
Women have always saved the world
Looks like the constant insidious propaganda is working as expected.
-
Looks like I need to move to the UK
-
So what this is saying is that women are going to save our collective asses.

That’s not an ideology gap, that’s feminism vs machism, by the look of it.
Got any reading you’d recommend? All I’m finding is some links to Ernst Mach, but they aren’t very helpful in their definition of “Machism.” Is it related to machismo in any way?
I quickly translated the French word. It’s how some people can hate women and believe they’re inferior or crazy or whatever.
What I’m saying in my comment is that the graphs seem much more about feminism vs the opposite than it is about conservatism vs whatever else. Now there is a link between thee two. But saying it’s conservative vs progress is abusive imo and missing the problem.
Misogyny is the English equivalent.
Is this American liberal or real liberal?
It’s Burgerland liberal, which is center-left to right. Burgerland conservative is right to fash.
It’s relative to the nationstate’s domestic policies in question. And just a heads up, I know when people make statements like this it just reveals a lack of understanding regarding foreign countries’ domestic politics. However, it’s also important to point out that the meme itself is incredibly ethnocentric and is fundamentally based on a dismissal of the validity of political discourse outside Western Europe and North America. You don’t mean to be racist, right?
This “meme” is not ethnocentric. Liberalism has a definition. The meaning became lost to Americans thanks to two red scares and a cold war. So now you have centrists like Bernie Sanders calling themselves socialist, which is absolutely not true.
Bernie believes in the eradication of capitalism, he’s a socialist working in a fucked over Overton window that means the best policies he can argue for would fall under social democracy at best.
Which, to be very clear, makes him a raging commie by American political standards.
The only people who argue he’s a capitalist are people that think socialism is when poor.
And I don’t like how sparse the data points are but they went with a wobbly interpolated curve anyway.
The color choice makes me angry!!
As a Canadian, it makes sense to me!
Makes sense literally everywhere which isn’t the US
