Just citing some science. Even though it’s taboo.
You said “concepts children understand”. These tend to be intuitive. Much of reality is counterintuitive, so those concepts tend to be minimally useful at best.

If that study could be replicated in the US, it would be much more interesting. European politics is much different than US politics and political party affiliations.
Note that the study was done nearly 7 years ago. I wonder how that study would fare post-Trump, with the dominance of Qanon, the prevalence of insane conspiracy theories like crisis actors and election fraud, and other batshit things rotting away at the right.
So, besides showing his pointy headiness, his latest reply also showed once again what a shithead octopus is.
Going back to the OP, that suggestion was made in this Pit thread as a way to show thanks, ironically. People could post a thread for every person to show their thanks and their dislikes.

Not actually a novel suggestion.
The study is comparing Dems to Republicans. Those are American parties. Just saying.
On the right we got conspiracy nuts. On the left we have folks who think stealing sneakers and then torching the foot locker is social justice.
The parties have the same names but not necessarily the same ideals. I don’t know much about European politics but I remember a guy from Sweden being really insulted when I assumed he was a Democrat. According to him, Democrats are very different people in Sweden than in the US. They don’t have the same ideals.
Which side wanted to lynch the vice president?
So you’re dismissing the fringe on the right as nuts, but you think the fringe on the left is mainstream? Not a whole lot of leftists consider burning down a private business to be social justice. Most leftists, even if they’ll throw their support to a protest are generally against rioting.
You do understand the difference between protesting and rioting, right?
In fairness and at different times, probably both. Though the left wouldn’t use the term lynch.
Can you give me an example? Like, maybe, do children understand that maybe you shouldn’t post links to research done by pseudoscientific racists? I dunno if kids understand that, I haven’t asked a kid lately. Do you understand that?
As others pointed out, and many times in the past too but the Mollusk never learns, there is a big difference between understanding why there are riots and the support of them. Left leaning leaders do not approve of them and even less the centrists like Biden.
As for the claim by comparison that the right is not violent or destructive:
So, the right wing nuts do resort to violence, and that has been already the case for years.
This from another thread.
It’s a lie. A blatant, obvious piece of complete bullshit, but friend Octopus decides to spew it forth anyway.
Does he actually believe what he wrote? No. He knows he’s lying. Basically just trolling to get a reaction.
Maybe you’re supposed to take him seriously, not literally. You know, see the greater truths that, uh, (reaches into basket filled with slips of paper) that the woke mob wants to lock Dr. Seuss into a gulag while, uh, Che Guevara something something hive mind.
Or consider him to be purely for entertainment because no reasonable person would consider what he says to be based in reality.
+1 to this. Much newer reference!
No. Because either the study is valid or it isn’t based upon evidence and reason. Who or what wrote it has no relevance. Yes, even children should understand that and of course the loony left doesn’t.
Please. The lack of prosecutions and the explicit support for confrontation and violence contradicts your dishonest assertion. Hell, law enforcement and walls can work when allowed to work. Look at DC as an example.
Well, not my problem that you certify in public that you are a big liar. Even in a recent thread I cited why what you claim here is a rotten big lie. And your retort about Dr Seuss is another certification about either your idiocy or endless deceptions.
