I really don't like that the graphs aren't across the same period of time.

[–] janabuggs 18 points 9 months ago

Omg I didn't even notice that. It's like the more you look at this the worse it gets.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 94 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Oh boy liberal vs conservative, what a wide variety of political opinion allowed for by the "financial times"

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 16 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Right and righter.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 3 points 9 months ago

Yes, these graphs don't many any sense other than generating clicks.

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 72 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I don't know about beautiful data. That's scary data :/

[–] macaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 9 months ago

It’s only beautiful in that is well visualized. The data itself is scary.

[–] BuddyTheBeefalo@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Do you know a community that fits?

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago

No no, that's not what I meant. I wasn't trying to have a go at you. It fits here perfectly. I was just upset at the trend it was showing :\

Maybe the fact that conservative governments erode the rights of women?

I think that's probably the biggest driver the last 10 years.

A FUCKTONNE of women I know became a hell of a lot less conservative when Roe Vs Wade was overturned.

Now if only they would vote like it...

Republicans also gained support from a higher share of women compared with previous elections: 48% of women voters cast ballots for GOP candidates in 2022 while 51% favored Democrats. In 2018, 40% voted for Republicans while 58% supported Democrats.

For further context, the Dobbs decision was June 2022...

[–] Moira_Mayhem 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I feel this is more indicative of the fact that conservatives simply vote more per capita. Public sentiment doesn't always translate to votes when only 20% of the population participates.

[–] Midnitte 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Sure, but either way, people are not voting against conservatives - whether that's because they sit out or are continuing to vote conservative seems rather trivia.

shcoking, women arent a fan en masse of being 'tradwifes' to tate blowhards

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 44 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Here in South Korea - Both the liberal and conservative party are very conservative. It wasn't until 10-15 years ago that women could even be the "leader" of the house. So the delta in conservative/liberal is more likely to do with economic/war policies with the North than much else (since men get conscripted, and North policies is one of the key differentiators between the 2 parties)

[–] SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

South Korea also has one of the biggest anti-feminism movements in the world. They just eliminated the gender ministry and rolled back protections for women. Not coincidentally, South Korea is Jordan Peterson’s biggest audience outside the US.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

The translation of "gender ministry" is completely misleading, I don't know why they made it that in English because that's not what it is. In Korean it's "여성가족부" which means "Woman's family department"

This data is poorly presented and unclear. It may well have some really useful insights, but it's definitely not beautiful.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 33 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh good, I'm better than the average man in something.

[–] NattyNatty2x4 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Sad that the bar is so low though

[–] jadelord@discuss.tchncs.de 30 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And I don't like how sparse the data points are but they went with a wobbly interpolated curve anyway.

Is it just me or are those the typical US-centric terms! If so, I'd trust those numbers even less than I already do because they moved the timespans between the graphs.

[–] SqueakyBeaver@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 9 months ago

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)

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 12 points 9 months ago

Women have always saved the world

[–] JustSomePerson@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fuck them for calling the left liberal. Liberals are the people who sell schools, hospitals, and social services to the lowest bidding private enterprise. A solidly right wing ideology that puts profit over people.

[–] bort@feddit.de 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

there are 2 types of liberal: economical and social

Some people intentionally mix these two up as part of balley and motte argument. Some people mix them up intentionally because they don't know any better.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 9 months ago

The color choice makes me angry!!

[–] akariii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 months ago

i sorry about women in south korea

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What happened in South Korea in 2015?

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 7 points 9 months ago

the government stopped putting the chemicals in the water that makes the frogs gay

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

its the opposite in my household

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago
[–] spaphy@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The term you missed to use was, "echo chambers." Both both and all.

[–] spaphy@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago

I've tried so many different social media platforms and every single one has been an echo chamber for their little slice of hell.

Lemmy just happens to be FOSS tech and liberal stuff. They're all echo chambers for sure.

[–] Obonga@feddit.de 3 points 9 months ago

Damn. The ruling class sure was successful in creating new wedges to divide their work slaves. It is not even only con and lib, there are so many more ingroups nobody needs and "sOcIaL mEdIa" is the tool to brainwash us into hating each others guts.

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I don't think this is new. The right has always been more masculine and the left more feminine. That's why we need a bit of both.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 12 points 9 months ago

Have you considered that women may lean more left because they are generally more oppressed under the conservative status quo? Women are progressive because they largely need to be.

No, we don't need a right wing at all. Balance is not a virtue in and of itself, that's like saying we need a balance of fascism and antifascism.

[–] blargerer@kbin.social 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm not trying to be mean, but this might be the single dumbest comment I've ever seen.

[–] verdare 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I’ve seen far dumber. Real talk, though: What value does conservatism have to offer? I’ve yet to see any actual principles behind this supposed political ideology beyond “fuck you, got mine.”
