No offense taken. ☺️
You’re right. Secrets are not safe. Gay, straight, bi, cis... whatever it’s being labeled as these days is not the culprit IMO.
As a recovering/recovered addict, the most damaging secret is hiding a drug addiction.
This book was a fascinating read (well, to me), and it just goes to show that everybody lies.
Some guys like 5-10% are into fat women it is a fetish but its a kinda common one. But, understand that it is a fetish so don’t count on it. Most guys will like you in spite of being fat not because it. I am not going dump a women because one part of her is imperfect.
Like would’t you look past physical imperfections if a guy is fun to be around? A man who makes you laugh is worth more than like an uncool beard. Or going bald at 26 or whatever. No guy is perfect and you don’t demand perfection so nor do we.
As for evidence of what men like. Google did some analysis of it. Men are into fatter women than they say. Google compared survey data to porn search data and dating app data. Most porn is owned by one company Mind Geek and 90% of dating apps are owned by Match. So getting the data was easy. The book is called everyone lies.
Studies like these always make me dismayed that we haven't been smarter about how we measure particular variables in an era of big data. A few years ago, I read Everybody Lies, an excellent book on why polls are really not all that great, especially for certain types of information (like whether or not people regret having children), because, well, everybody lies. The book talked about alternative methods for getting at what people really think and believe, like measuring what they search for using Google Trends. Such data is often more revealing, because people feel like they're not being watched and it's often a more honest reflection of what they think. I'd like to know the number of searches of "regret having children" broken down by demographic. I mean, how honest do you think people are going to be when they know someone is asking them if they regret having their children?
Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are
This book is really great for getting a surface level understanding of how big data can be harnessed. It also delves into how big data is being used as a buzz word to scam companies out of money.
I listen to audio books, so this might be a little dry for what you're looking for. The narrator was great. He definitely added to my sense or enjoyment
From Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are, written by a former Google Data Scientist. I don't know how easy it would be to parse the search history data yourself.
Everyone is lying about everything. To each other, to themselves, and especially to polls, studies, surveys, etc.
Here's a great book for ya:

I don't know why you said alt right, especially because it's been confirmed that Freudian slips aren't a real thing. If you want to have a conversation about an anti-fascist movement, how do you plan on doing that without mentioning fascism?
I thought the same until I read Everybody Lies which set out, for me, a convincing argument based on big data that people get more ideological diversity and come into contact with with more differing viewpoints thanks to the internet.
In the book Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz uses Google Trends extensively to research social shifts. It's not a perfect method and it can't paint us a perfect picture, but it's generally a good indicator of how a social trend has progressed.
A search on Google Trends for "jewish jokes" shows a general downward trend since 2004. "jew jokes" went up around 2008-2012 but then fell and is currently at the lowest point recorded by Google. More blatantly anti-semitic searches like "jews in the media","jews control the media","jews did 9/11","jewish elite", and other similar searches are all on a steady downward trend as well.
I'm not an expert at this stuff but it seems to me that anti-semitism is on a general downward trend overall. There are alternative explanations for these trends, like anti-anti-semitism becoming more common and having a chilling effect on peoples' searches, but it seems to me that the simplest answer is the most likely.
Ok. You will ignore them. But ok.
The head policy creator of the Trump administration is a white supremacist. Policy is guided by a white supremacist.
"In November 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center acquired more than 900 emails Miller sent writer Katie McHugh at Breitbart News between 2015 and 2016. The emails became the basis for an exposé that showed that Miller had enthusiastically pushed the views of white nationalist publications such as American Renaissance and VDARE, as well as the far-right conspiracy website InfoWars, and promoted The Camp of the Saints, a French novel circulating among neo-Nazis, shaping both White House policy and Breitbart's coverage of racial politics. In response to the exposé, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham called the SPLC an "utterly discredited, long-debunked far-left smear organization." As of November 15, 2019, over 80 Democratic members of Congress have called for Miller's resignation in light of his emails. On November 13 Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) started a petition that had reached more than 20,000 signatures by November 16. According to The Daily Beast, seven "senior Trump administration officials with knowledge of Miller’s standing with the president and top staffers have all individually told The Daily Beast that the story did not endanger Miller's position, or change Trump's favorable view of him. Two of them literally laughed at the mere suggestion that the Hatewatch exposé could have toppled or hobbled the top Trump adviser."
Next. I advise you to read "everybody lies"

In the opening chapters it lays out how "first n***** president" outweighed "first black president" google searches in the counties of swing states that would later go from Obama to trump held districts. It documents how white supremacy searches increased and membership in organizations swelled.

The error comes from focusing on the wrong filters. The "liberal media" is a thing (in two ways, really, but let's focus on the one people generally refer to) when you look at rhetoric. This can be determined through linguistic data analysis, which Seth Stephens-Davidowitz did in his book Everybody Lies. One of the interesting things he shows there is that the rhetorical bias varies not by ownership, for instance, but mostly through the dominant political leaning of the area in which the paper (which was the focus of the study) is sold. That is, a news outlet's rhetorical bias depends on its audience, not its owners.
This analysis is useful, but there is a glaring problem with it: In focusing on rhetoric, it ignores actual policy advocacy and, importantly, publication bias. And that's where the owners have influence. As long as the policy advocated agrees with the owners (and the media's inherent structural biases, re: the Herman-Chomsky Propaganda Model), how it is presented (the rhetoric) only matters to the extent that it influences revenue. And anything that is counter to these interests, will be ignored.
So, yes, there is a "liberal media" (and they're actually fairly dominant). Problem is, they are liberal in rhetoric only (and sometimes in actual policy, depending on what you mean by 'liberal'). What the media doesn't tell you is usually much more important than what it does.

but I'm not sure.
I've heard other people really about this book in that context, and I should probably check it out.
Damn you're so close. You're almost there. Like 50% of the way. This might shock you to know but guess what? I LOVED Elizabeth Warren. I voted for Obama. I watched Jon Stewart nightly. I watched the reruns feverishly. I enjoyed Colbert when he had a team of good writers (Jon's, mostly) propping him up. I was registered D!

Try reading. Wake up to the reality, dude. Look at ANYTHING that mattered in your lifetime, how many times it was promised to you, and how many times it was the FIRST thing negotiated away by the politicians that supposedly had your back.
Really big budget bill that included student loan forgiveness? Student loans hit the cutting room floor after just a week of debate. Pretty much the first "compromise" they made. Social security supplemental income? Still capped so that anyone who exceeds savings in excess of it's 1979 standard, which if exceeded, ends the checks until those savings are spent on government approved buys. No cost of living increases on that amount either! Oh how about that whole thing that if you elected the current administration your taxes wouldn't go up if you were poor? Well the latest leaked whitehouse memo details the tax burden for each bracket if build back better is implemented... and every tax bracket will be paying more. Worse, some of the higher tax brackets are facing a smaller increase then some of the lower. At least, if I understand what I'm reading on that memo. More than 2 times since RvE passed, we've had double D senate/congress with a D president, did they try to get any pro-choice stuff amended in? No, because they were concerned that the mere attempt would cost them the majority in the next election and hurt career politicians. Liz co-authored the two income trap in 2004. How many times did she let her family first agenda drop to keep pork for businesses in things she worked on?
Republicans aren't blameless, either, but Reddit does enough of that so I don't really feel the need to belabor it... but do you really think I'm happy with their pussy-ass behavior? Promising to cut waste and corruption, promising to drain swamps, and what do you fucking know? All the lifetime "staffers" are still hanging around, fucking things up, and being completely unaccountable.
They are ineffective self interested fucks. You're just stuck in tribalism football team bullshit, right where they want you to be. Or a battered wife, because at least the one beating you is also the one providing for you.
If you want an interesting read about statistical thinking, try something like everybody lies or dammed lies and statistics
If you want some that is free, easy to read, and something with free practice activities and data sets that allow you to follow along, I'd suggest R for Data Science
If you're more interested in the logic of applied statistics with minimal formulas, I'd recommend Statistics as Principled Argument
Go read Everybody Lies
It's an amazing look at what people really are, based on google and pornhub stats, not surveys.
Roughly 5% of the US are LGBT.
Porn featuring violence against women is also extremely popular among women. It is far more popular among women than men. I hate saying that because misogynists seem to love this fact. Fantasy life isn't always politically correct.
The rate at which women watch violent porn is roughly the same in every part of the world. It isn’t correlated with how women are treated.
