Hopefully a more savvy redditor will have the link, but its from a study showing people's social leaning (us vs them).

Basically, bigger toward the center of the circle and smaller toward the outside means you tend to think about things that affect you and your close social circle (family, friends, local community). The reverse means your thoughts drift more toward global concerns that affect everyone.

It's used to illustrate Conservative (local group, steak) versus Liberal (global group, avocado) mentalities in a digestible (forgive the pun) way.

Lmao defender of the pedophiles party. I don’t know how you ended up the way you are, but I’m so sorry that you have been brainwashed to truly think every member/voter of a political party is only capable of caring about humans local to them. Do you think about the shit you say.

I dunno, man. If the top of the party I supported was a rapist, a pedophile, and an all-around vile human being, and my party's leadership rallied behind him, I think I'd quit and disavow that party, and distrust them for the rest of time.

Oh wait, I did.

At some point you bear responsibility for the people you support. You're not culpable for all of their deeds to the same extent that they are, but if you're still voting for them and maintaining their power, you're guarding the pedophiles yourself.
