Cats are making people left wing.

>These side effects are postulated to arise from IFN-γ-mediated induction of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression (Meyers, 1999) as IDO degrades tryptophan (Saito et al., 1991), the essential precursor of serotonin, and serotonin is involved in depressive disorders
>Thus, alterations induced by T. gondii-stimulated IFN-γ may indirectly affect cognitive changes with infection
>One factor that could contribute to the specific changes is increased dopamine production by T. gondii
T.Gondii produces more dopamine and less serotonin.

(Based Haidt strikes again.)
> A DNA analysis of 13,000 Australians found that liberals and conservatives had some marked difference in genes that related to neurotransmitter functioning, particularly glutamate and serotonin, both of which are involved in the brain’s response to threat and fear.
>Conservatives react more strongly to signs of danger, including threat of germs and contamination, and even white noise. Liberals have more genes implicated in receptors for dopamine, which is associated with sensation-seeking and openness to experiences. Other papers have found a few other traits, but nearly all are related to threat sensibility or openness to experience.
Types 4 of person

Right wing is high serotonin, low dopamine, high testosterone, lower estrogen.
Left wing is low serotonin, high dopamine, low testosterone, high estrogen.
Gas the cats, feline extinction now?

I'm right wing as fuck and have a battle kitty in my house.
I love dogs, but ya know my work schedule doesn't allow for me to own a dogger
I have four cats and one just had three kittens, explain why I hate niggers and want the middle east wiped off the map.

>Between dogs and cats my degree of choice is so great that it would never occur to me to compare the two. I have no active dislike for dogs, any more than I have for monkeys, human beings, negroes, cows, sheep, or pterodactyls; but for the cat I have entertained a particular respect and affection ever since the earliest days of my infancy. In its flawless grace and superior self-sufficiency I have seen a symbol of the perfect beauty and bland impersonality of the universe itself, objectively considered; and in its air of silent mystery there resides for me all the wonder and fascination of the unknown. The dog appeals to cheap and facile emotions; the cat to the deepest founts of imagination and cosmic perception in the human mind. It is no accident that the contemplative Egyptians, together with such later poetic spirits as Poe, Gautier, Baudelaire, and Swinburne, were all sincere worshippers of the supple grimalkin.
Just a taste for people
Dogs for simpletons and negroes not human beings in the same paragraph.

>Still trusting the feline jew
there's no scientific evidence that cats transmit Toxoplasma gondii unless you eat their feces
so unless you're OP, you should be fine
>>69068678
lovecraft was the ultimate racist too
yet he was an aspie
>>69068938
>infects up to 1/3 of the world
>only transmitted via feces
What fucked in the head do you think 1/3 of the world is?
Yep. Lived with cats since the day I was born, and I'm right wing.
I spend everyday on my local yik yak trying to redpill people. It's actually been going well for the most part, especially on Islam.
>>69069175
did you ever stop to think that maybe there's other ways to transmit it?
nearly 99% of Toxoplasma gondii is transmitted via eating raw meat(especially pork) you dumbshit
there's a reason religions told people to not eat things like pork, certain seafoods etc. Because when not cooked properly they have a lot of diseases
its like lymes disease, you can have it for life. Feral cats and cats in general are disgusting creatures that need to be gassed. They spread this disease to native wildlife as well
>>69067391
>Gas the cats, feline extinction now?
You keep your filthy hands off my whiskered jews, cunt.
Dogs are for people who support authoritarianism. Cats are for people who support libertarianism. Dogs do what they are told and cats do what they want.

How about you find and read the study on T.Gondii you fucking idiot.
It is spread via cat litter, it can an be inhaled.
>>69069643
I wear a surgical mask whenever I clean the cat box and I always wash my hands after petting the cat and after cleaning the box
It's like your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that there's no such thing as a right-wing cat owner who knows how to practice basic hygiene

>>69069535
>In short, a dog is an incomplete thing. Like an inferior man, he needs emotional stimuli from outside, and must set something artificial up as a god and motive. The cat, however, is perfect in himself. Like the human philosopher, he is a self-sufficient entity and microcosm. He is a real and integrated being because he thinks and feels himself to be such, whereas the dog can conceive of himself only in relation to something else. Whip a dog and he licks your hand—faugh! The beast has no idea of himself except as an inferior part of an organism whereof you are a superior part—he would no more think of striking back at you than you would think of pounding your own head when it punishes you with a headache. But whip a cat and watch it glare and move backward hissing in outraged dignity and self-respect! One more blow, and it strikes you in return; for it is a gentleman and your equal, and will accept no infringement on its personality and body of privileges.
Anyone here ever dealt with a crazy cat lady? Its incredible how being in a house overrun by cat shit and piss can warp someone's mind.
I love kitties but I wouldn't get one again. Always away for work, my poor cat spent too much time in the cattery. Then she died.
>>69069966
I never said there is no such thing as a right wing cat owner....
oh boy, that 1 in 10,000 that wears a mask.
You're special.
This isn't cats vs dogs.

>It is spread via cat litter, it can an be inhaled.
but that's where a tiny minority of the infections come from you dumbass
>Not owning a cat while being redpilled
The ultimate jew.
>>69070459
proof.
I cuddle with my cat all the time, never wash my hands, don't wear a mask while changing the litter.
/pol/ is literally looking for anything to help make them feel special and superior
>>69069643
It's not airborne, so no, it cannot be inhaled. You literally have to consume the fecal matter containing the 'activated' specimen(s).
Serotonin isn't believed to have an influence one way or another on depression anymore. But, carry on lame faggot OP

Also
The only way t.gondii can be "inhaled" and actually infect you is if you've got a compromised immunosystem
This is the reason why that specific drug that cures it was the same drug that all the shitlibs and SJWs were throwing a fit about. They thought that by him jacking up the price of Atovaquone (to the insurance companies), that people with AIDS would die.
Because Atovaquone is for AIDS patients and third worlders with fucking malaria and shit.

"I am enlightened not by some cheap dog's affection, but by my own cat"

Liberals have more genes implicated in receptors for dopamine, which is associated with sensation-seeking and openness to experiences.

What I gathered from this is that liberals are a dumb shit sub-species who have an improper reaction to danger like dodos.
All we need are some clubs and rocks to hide behind and poof, liberals are extinct.
>>69072753
Its funny.
Because right wingers see them as idiots and dangerous.
But lefties see that conservatives are "fearful" and assume that's why they are so "hateful"
>>69067391
It's pretty well known that Toxoplasmosis Gondii affects the brain, personality, inhibition control negatively, even with a healthy immune system.
Those infected afterwards tend end up having less rational thought processes, problems with reasoning, and lower inhibitions (trouble controlling oneself, anger problems, etc)
And of course, naturally, as T. Gondii does to mice (Make them not fear things, cats) it also has the same affect on humans to a lesser degree.
It's a world-wide epidemic infection that is, simply by the large amount of people affected, despite the mostly minor problems caused by it, causing huge problems, by lowering overall threshold for social cohesion, stability, reasonable behavior.

No you were right about it being inhaled.
And yes raw meat can contain it.
I still need proof that cats aren't a large vector of transmission.
