Oh I’ll be the wingman.
Study: Physically weak men more likely to be socialist, strong men more likely to be capitalist
A new study from Brunel University London found that physically weaker men are more apt to believe in socialist policies, such as redistribution of wealth. Meanwhile, stronger men are more geared to believe in the capitalist concepts, such as the idea that people should keep what you earn.
Brunel University academics studied 171 men aged 18 – 40, examining their overall physical strength, bicep circumference, weight, and height. They also noted the amount of time each individual spent at a gym, and examined these variables in light of whether they subscribed more to capitalist or socialist ideologies. They found that the more physically strong the men were, the less they believed in socialist policies, and the more they believed certain social groups should be dominant.
According to The Times, Brunel University’s senior lecturer in Psychology in the College of Health and Life Sciences Michael Price said the study raises questions about the correlation between physical strength and egalitarianism — and also poses something of a “chicken or the egg” philosophical question.
“We believe that this link between perceived formidability and egalitarianism could be explained in a number of ways,” Price said in the report on Brunel University’s website. “It could be the result of men calibrating their egalitarianism to their own formidability. It could be the case that less egalitarian men strive harder to become muscular. Or there could be a third variable at play affecting both egalitarianism and muscularity.”
Additionally, Price found that stronger men tend to reject the redistribution of wealth, whether they are financially rich or poor.
“Our results suggest that wealthier men who are more formidable physically are more likely to oppose redistribution of wealth. Essentially, they seem more motivated to defend their resources. But less wealthy men who are still physically formidable don’t seem more inclined to support redistribution either,” Price said. “They’re not demanding a share of the wealth.”

I've watched this about 20 times, and I still can't figure out how the gun gets from the orange shirts right hand into his left hand to be taken away by purple shirt guy.
If you watch it frame by frame you can see when scuffle starts the guy in the orange bends his arm to raise the pistol, as soon as he does that the other guy grabs the gun by the barrel with his left hand, he then steps to the side and behind the guy in the orange shirt and throws him to the ground. He then transfers the gun to his right hand and starts shooting.
