    The core base of right wing libertarians and ancap are pedophiles and racists after all. Sure there are also a few guys who stopped maturing in their teens that think Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman are deep as well. They’re just there is a smoke screen and Patsy’s.

      Hey that’s unfair, their base isn’t all just either pedophiles or racists; some of them are also psychopaths and/or sadists.

      In the present research (N = 675), we focus on the relationship between the dark side of human personality and political orientation and extremism, respectively, in the course of a presidential election where the two candidates represent either left-wing or right-wing political policies. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were associated with right-wing political orientation, whereas narcissism and psychopathy were associated with political extremism. Moreover, the relationships between personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, were relatively independent from each other.

      We found eleven significant correlations between conservative [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad – [narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy,] all at significance level of p<.00001 – and no significant correlations between liberal [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad. We believe that these results raise provocative moral questions about the personality bases of moral judgments. In particular, we propose that because the Short-D3 measures three “dark and antisocial” personality traits, our results raise some prima facie worries about the moral justification of some conservative moral judgments

        Absolutely, though those are largely just synonyms. 😉
