There have been studies on this, brain damage is linked to more conservative political beliefs.

It is not ableist to point out a fact.

I had a TBI as a teenager and went from moderately liberal to full blown anarcho communist.

You meet one person with a brain injury, you’ve met one person with a brain injury. We’re all very different because the brain is barely understood by science and our injuries even harder to quantify.

Also if you look at sufferers of CTE most become aggressive and violent until they end up taking their own lives. See boxers, football players, combat veterans. I think there’s a link between aggression and right wing ideology.

Anarchists are not authoritarians.
