New paper: “people with stronger social ties tend to be more economically conservative than otherwise similar people with weaker social ties, due to a substitution effect between formal and informal social insurance.” https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/c9fy5

On the other hand, isn’t left organizing—unions, mutual aid, community organizing—all about building stronger social ties? Isn’t atomization better for the Right? Not sure how to reconcile this.
