Is the Somali brain capable of liberal thought?

[McLovin]

I've noticed we are a pretty conservative bunch. But most of us scored left in the political test. Could there be some sort of cognitive dissonance at play?

 

[Jubba_Man]

They are "left-wing" fiscally for obvious reasons. I am sure it would be a different story back in Somalia.

 

[Nin xun]

We're economically left wing, as we should be.

[Apollo]

I am the most liberal.

We need a world without borders.

 

[merka]

Somalis have historically been economically left wing. All wealth was owned collectively by the tribe.

I'm liberal in the west and liberal back home so yes, Somalis can be liberal and not just in an economic aspect.

 

[VixR]

I think Somalis in the West are hypocritically liberal (liberal only in reference to themselves) and judgmentally conservative about liberal behaviors in others.

Just look how they yell about how "strategically liberal" they are, yet they're scoring farther left to me on the scale.

I wonder if the ones back home r more true to form or if they too put on airs of convenience.

Somalis are Democrats(Liberal) in the U.S because they believe in Socialism and second they believe Republicans are "racist". If Somalis were financially doing good and didn't believe conservatism wasn't racist, they would vote Republican by a large margin.

 

[TheLibertarianQuiche]

I am a liberal person. Somalia needs to catch up with the world and to do that we need to accomodate the growing number of Somali Atheists.
Also you can't be liberal in the west and Alt-Right at home.

 

[Apollo]

Wrong, it's possible!

 

[TheLibertarianQuiche]

Wrong, it's possible!

Its hypocrisy.

The horrors of people voting for their best interests. The democrats aren't socialists, they don't advocate seizing the means of production and I truly doubt somali people are too. The GOP might not be racists but they sure as hell do their best to accomodate them(i.e. The Southern Strategy).
