Precisely ! The Muslim Invaders are biologically identified as … “harmful pathogens”. I couldn’t have explained it any better. We are genetically programmed for survival. We are programmed to identify the REAL “micro-aggression” … er … “microbe-aggression” of the Muslim Invaders. Our bodies are naturally repulsed by the the avalanche of unwashed Invaders. It’s not xenophobia … it’s SURVIVAL !!

From the article,
“…The mechanism, called the behavioral immune system, tells us to avoid things that are unfamiliar because they might harbor harmful pathogens.
[…]Could a subconscious fear of disease be part of what’s prompting Trump supporters to cheer his plan to ban Muslims and Mexicans? … ”
Possibly but Leftists have a “behavioral immune system” that is defective, that is too weak, they are careless about whom they let in our nations.
To leftists nothing foreign or unusual is a danger. only white conservative males are a threat.
And we see the results; every where there are large populations of non-whites, illegals and muslims — that the left has invited in and imposed on us — there are high rates of violence and high rates of rape.
I think the right wing behavioral immune system is healthier; better safe than sorry to be stuck with millions of rapefugees .
“But on a broader scale, the human desire to keep out “the other” might be partly explained by a vestigial psychological quirk that was once meant to help protect us from infection. The mechanism, called the behavioral immune system, tells us to avoid things that are unfamiliar because they might harbor harmful pathogens.”
What a crock of crap. The thing that is being activated in some humans are the vestigial remains of our most primeval survival instincts. A pack of wolves or a pride of lions that defends its territory and cubs from interlopers isn’t doing it because of pathogens, – it’s something much more immediate than that. They’re doing it because of teeth and claws that will kill them if they don’t stand up and fight.

From the article:
One meta-analysis of 24 studies found that the strength of one’s behavioral immune system, as measured by things like a fear of contamination or sensitivity to disgust, is positively correlated with social conservatism—including ethnocentrism.

Disgust is at the root of many class systems, Dr. Curtis says, and has long been used by the rich to justify their fear of the often less than hygienic masses.
Adolf Hitler knew how to manipulate disgust, and urged Germans to destroy the group he described as the “filthy Jews.”
“When somebody wants to go to war, they label the outsider as a threat, as dirty and diseased and disgusting,” Dr. Curtis says. “It works every time.” ANNE MCILROY Globe and Mail Saturday, January 25, 2003

One word for ya Dizzy: Redneck.
Have a happy day. /.sarc
Sounds like a socialist apologist to me. I have nothing against Syrian refugees that are genuine refugees. Its like this though… I’m going to give you a box of 1000 Smarties. About 10 of them are poisoned and there is no way to determine which is poisoned and which is not. They all appear the same. Do you still want the Smarties?
I guess this mean Kate’s been non-stop pregnant for the past ten years.

Perhaps. Nothing much disgusts me, or I wouldn’t be here.
In more general terms, “I am a man. Nothing human is alien to me” as the poet said.
One should try to get over knee-jerk squeamish reactions. Among other benefits: better sex.
Or so says this book
The Anatomy of Disgust William Ian Miller 1998
Miller details our anxious relation to basic life processes: eating, excreting, fornicating, decaying, and dying. But disgust pushes beyond the flesh to vivify the larger social order with the idiom it commandeers from the sights, smells, tastes, feels, and sounds of fleshly physicality. Disgust and contempt, Miller argues, play crucial political roles in creating and maintaining social hierarchy. Democracy depends less on respect for persons than on an equal distribution of contempt. Disgust, however, signals dangerous division. The high’s belief that the low actually smell bad, or are sources of pollution, seriously threatens democracy.

One meta-analysis of 24 studies …
…and we all know meta-analysis, especially the subjective kind, are so accurate. heh
Btw, socialism and socialists disgust me. Only disgust for freedom and free enterprise has been a danger to democracy…ie USSR, Cuba, N Korea, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and on and on…so far, our social hierarchy is on top. May it continue…
Actually there seem to be more cases of diseases that were rare popping up in the U.S. because of the influx of illegal aliens whom the federal government spreads all over the country.
Utter horsepucky. “Disgust” is an acquired cultural norm, not an inherent biological characteristic. Yet another sociologist who had whackos for parents… or McDonalds wasn’t hiring when they got finished with high school.
I never used to think I was a redneck but islam has changed all that.

Boohoo, he talked about something…who are you the head mangina?
I read that article in The Atlantic. (REALLY had to work on managing my gag reflex, LemmeTellYa.)
Could the Lib-Proggs GET any more self- congratulatory? The whole article could be boiled down to “We on the Left, we of the In-Crowd, we who are Assimilated and Of-The-Body {reference to The Borg if you didn’t get it} are indeed Perfected; We are The Chosen Ones. We have the Right and the Duty to reign here on Earth. We’re brilliant. And virtuous. Also, compassionate. We’re moral, enlightened, insightful, generous, and merciful. As a matter of fact, the English language lacks enough superlatives to adequately describe us. —> But YOU???? You narrow-minded quivering phobics on the Right are smarmy fearful priggish selfish racist bigots who should be ashamed to live. The world will be better when you and your ugly children are all dead, and then WE will be the Eternal Rulers of Everything and we’ll finally be able to create Utopia without your interference.”
… did I miss any other subtle pejoratives against us Common Folk by these narcissists of The Ruling Class?
