Why aren't there any right-wing intellectuals?

The sociology, history, political science, women's studies, black studies, and psychology departments of universities across Europe and the Americas are chock full of Marxists with nary a right-winger to be had.
Why is this?

Because Right-Wingers are retarded.

They were deliberately ignored after WW1 (no, not WW2). Essentially, people are worried the next right wing shift will cause war, because the last one (WW1) definitely did. Plenty of nations fighting in WW1 had no legitimate reason besides politics, sure extreme left wing politics will cripple the economy, artificially create white male skilled unemployment, promote unequal treatment in educational facilities and create hordes of people who try to attack your livelihood, but right wing extremism can and has gotten people killed.

So are lefties.

Moderates are the only intelligent people because no label or ideology adequately fits absolutely every situation, besides maybe reactionarism.

>but right wing extremism can and has gotten people killed.
Right, and how many people died in the Soviet Union? Mao's China?

they get all their funding from the state which benefits more from people who advocate for bigger government for some odd reason

That's absolutely true and I wouldn't dare argue or deny their genocides, but extremism in anglosphere countries rarely directly kills people. Thus, left wing extremism at the moment isn't killing people, it's just ridiculously unpleasant.

And yet you'd think in the age of YouTube and the Internet there'd be large numbers of right-wing intellectuals who don't require the platform of a university to espouse their beliefs.
And yet all we have are
>molymeme, an idiot
>jordan peterson, cucked by sam harris
And that's all I can think of

Sociology was founded by Marx and socialists. Not surprising how left wing it is

True intellectuals don't label themselves left or right wing.

>Thus, left wing extremism at the moment isn't killing people, it's just ridiculously unpleasant.
I'm certainly fearful that the unpleasantness is going to be getting much more unpleasant pretty quickly. Not many leftists, at least where I live, seem to give two shits about gun control anymore because they're finally realizing the purpose of the second amendment. The "punch-a-Nazi" rhetoric is officially mainstream. Violent revolution is no longer frowned upon by the Berkeley crowd. Freedom of speech, one of the hallmarks of the 60s counterculture movement, has been abandoned by large swaths of the left. Fucking Antifa has a legitimate foothold in America now.
Remember how many people were praising Fidel on Facebook when he died several months ago? They were fucking coming out of the woodwork.

Hans-Hermann Hoppe my dude

But there are

Ok, but there are hundreds of Wikipedia pages for famed Marxist American university professors in the humanities, and none for famed right-winging American university professors in the humanities--because there aren't any, at least anymore.

If you think any of those four dunces are "intellectuals," you're a fucking shithead
>flag
Oh, right. Carry on.

>anarchist
>but against homosexuals
interesting

filthy parasite

>doesn’t get the obvious sarcasm

No surprises here

Sowell's on his deathbed. If I changed by OP post to "Why do left-wing intellectuals vastly outnumber right-wing intellectuals, particularly in universities," would that make you happy?

We're entering the normalization phase of ideological/cultural subversion

Think of it this way, if the useful idiots are successful, and a legitimate authoritarian socialist/commie regime takes power, who will be the first to go?

But Lauren a cute.. A cute!

No, I think voting in Trump was the peak leftism reaction, they're crawling out of the wood work because they know it's shifting back and no one wants it to snap back (protip: it won't).

I think it began when arguments against affirmative action became common. After that, people saw the extreme left for what it is: a big bag of hypocrisy that a very certain personality type reaches into to drag out bad arguments so riddled with fallacies even someone not trained to point them out can feel they're wrong.

Our tactic is business as usual. Don't get lazy, but absolutely don't get scared. Just keep developing the arguments and hoping they're plagiarized by the right people.

Seeing as how many anons here unironically take those four charlatans seriously, it's difficult to detect sarcasm

Because the Left wants to dump money on university research with no questions asked.

Always in life, follow the money to understand why things happen.

dont care what you have to say tb.h

>no right wing intellectuals
>julius evola
>william f buckley
>Dr. Thomas Sowell

i mean thats just off the top of my head, or are you going to move the goal posts on what "right wing" means to fit your narrative?

>But Lauren a cute.. A cute!
Nah. It's all make-up, my dude.

>No, I think voting in Trump was the peak leftism reaction, they're crawling out of the wood work because they know it's shifting back and no one wants it to snap back (protip: it won't).
Well, Bernie certainly helped to make socialism mainstream, and there are two professors at my uni who have unabashedly come out as Marxists in the wake of the election. The left is galvanizing and becoming more extreme. I don't think they're necessarily growing, but the ranks of radicals are certainly increasing.

Dude people just died in London what are you on about. Not only that, but leftism pushes races together creating a powder keg.

I'm talking about right-wing intellectuals in the current year, leaf.
They don't exist on college campuses anymore. I think the primary factor may be that nowadays most right-wingers go into STEM fields while the humanities are populated almost exclusively by leftists.

cuter without makeup desu

Looks better on the left than on the right desu.

In order to be redpilled you need a lot of time on your hands
You can't have that much time on your hands if you're an (((intellectual))) because you're too busy sucking someone off to get anywhere in life due to the limits of such a field has on making you rent money

>had no legitimate reason besides politics
Literally everyone's reason except for the Axis was because they were jealous that Germany was becoming so powerful in their own right and they wanted to wipe them out completely

One of the ultimate goals of contemporary Marxism is the eradication of race through interbreeding, which they argue removes the "powder-keg."
Of course, society will still be divided along lines of skin tone, the just like in the African-American community today to a lesser extent.
Not many Marxists like to admit that this is what they want, though, because it implies that "blacks," "arabs," etc. will die out as well as "whites."

>You can't have that much time on your hands if you're an (((intellectual))) because you're too busy sucking someone off to get anywhere in life due to the limits of such a field has on making you rent money
m8, all leftists professors have on their hands is free time. How do you think they were able to read hundreds of thousands of pages of historical, political, philosophical, and sociological literature? They're not dumb and they can back up their arguments well, otherwise they wouldn't be where they are.

>Thus, left wing extremism at the moment isn't killing people
No, its getting people killed by proxy.

What is an "intellectual"?

>Literally everyone's reason except for the Axis was because they were jealous that Germany was becoming so powerful in their own right and they wanted to wipe them out completely
Well it was that the German "Third Way" was an imminent threat to international capitalism and the USSR's burgeoning international socialism/road-to-communism. The industrialized world can't stand two--or three--opposing ideologies that are all vying for global domination.
Which is why war with China is inevitable, as long as either of us don't collapse before then.

They're deliberately excluded from universities. Part of getting a PHD is about having connections. The Left staged a hostile takeover in the 60's. They called it "Revolution by hiring committee." The only exceptions are Raphel Johnson and Tom Sunic. Most of the few "right-wing" intellectuals allowed are (((neo-cons))) of the Bernard Lewis-variety. Europe has a decent amount of real right-wingers, but they're rather niche.

Still most of the leaders of the Alt-Right are extremely well -educated. Jared Taylor and Steve Bannon are Ivy League. Richard Spencer quit his PhD studies at Duke to be a white nationalist. Kevin MacDonald and Andrew Joyce are former college professors.

Ultimately, this proves how useless conservatism really is. If you can't even defend what's yours, then you can't conserve anything. Which is why nationalists can get shit done: we have a fucking backbone.

I am in the top of my field. I'm not going to make any more posts after this because you're going to all call me a lying faggot so I'm closing the thread so I'm not even tempted to reply. I am probably top 2 people at what I do in the country, top 20 in the world.

I can't express my opinions or I'll lose my job. Simple as. And I even publicly express the few left leaning opinions I have to maintain cover. It's not worth ruining my life over.

Because realistically, the only place a right winger seems to do well is in the field of economics.

The instant we get right wingers trying to extend to any other fields, some dumb fuck tries to convince scientists that God a real because of muh eye being complex, and at that point they are rightly mocked.

What sort of work do you do?

We have different standards. Find the look of the left comforting and unintimidating, plus the whole intelligent woman thing does it for me, I'm a young guy who's a little too used to women being really dumb.

That's different, politics is placating Islam because we've been in a secret war with the middle east in general since 9/11. People are worried that out and saying, "you know what, we're at war and the enemy literally is Islamic conservatism" would spark fear and animosity towards Muslims, leading to them pretending they have even more justification to attack us.

Placating Islam is actually using history as a weapon. In 100 years, people will look back and say, for a war the west sure was friendly with Islam, maybe Muslims really were the bad guys? Because they are. This isn't about religion, it's about middle eastern feudalism and they fired the first shot. The west supported middle eastern feudalism for a while, it wasn't good enough for them.

Stefan released a video about how the west is guilty because democracy. That's bullshit, the west has done everything it could since the 50s to build the middle east. We let them control the oil (which they used to crash Venezuela, oops), we let them have our technology, we arranged their borders how they wanted (besides Israel).

The west has done everything and Islamic extremists still aren't happy. Left or right the status quo with Islam would be the same.

WW1, not WW2. Tell me why Italy and Japan entered the war.

There are millions of scientists who believe in a supreme being.

Believe me, I prefer women without make-up. But she's just got a man face.

All my history and and economy profs were not lefties but basically the rest were

What liberals call, "Intellectuals," conservatives call, "Normal."

>some dumb fuck tries to convince scientists that God a real because of muh eye being complex, and at that point they are rightly mocked.

You're not operating on enough levels of abstraction.

>right-wing history department in an american university
Of the several colleges that I am familiar with, every one has a leftist history department with one token moderate conservative.
Where do you study?

Socialism is no joke. In the Ukraine they were eating babies

Because they know to hide their power level

These.

Right wingers are often immediately disregarded by tenure panels and administrators. In some fields, the ideological splits is as bad as 95% D, 4% Independent, .5% Apathetic.
The only reason Right Wingers are in Econ is twofold.
1. After stagflation, lefties who took Keynes farther than it could go got BTFO'd. Milton Friedman was able to shift things massively right on his own.
2. People actually give a shit about Econ. Thus governments are looking for people who can argue either side. Thus supression of either side is frowned upon.

This factor, although not causal, helps a ton.
3. We all think the other social sciences and humanitied are inbred mongols who shouldnt be left with a pot of paste, let alone any real power. Leftists have to be careful not to rely on progressive easy arguments or they get taken the piss on by literally everyone. We had a prof at an Ivy Leauge school that shit all over a girl who suggested the pay gap was real.

What are you talking about? You are either very uneducated or trolling.

There are plenty of right wing academics. They are just more quiet and more humble about it.

Go to a catholic university. You'll find them in the public ones too. They just don't scream about their political opinions because they are not one dimensional people.

You hear about the left-wing more because they squawk like a barrel of faggots.

And Anarchist Aragon was communist utopia.
The left has compelling arguments, but they're never properly buttressed against their right-wing counterparts in the American education system today.

>Go to a catholic university
I'm currently at a catholic university. Even the priests are Marxists. Maybe it's just the part of the country I'm in.

a catholic priest must believe in god. a marxist must believe in the absence of god.

the two are mutually exclusive. No man can be both things at once.

because right-wing ideology is for stupid

why

Marxist in general just ignore how reality works. Every single one of their regulations only makes things worse but they are totally convinced that Utopia is just two or three more social engineering stunts away.

It's why no matter how bad it gets, they will never voluntarily stop.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.
Look up liberation theology.

you are uneducated on the basic tenants of marxism, and maybe even catholicism.

I am no marxist, but at least I know my enemy.

marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1843/critique-hpr/intro.htm

Marx is well known to have been a devout atheist who advocated atheism.

Catholicism most assuredly advocates the belief in god.

The two have mutually exclusive beliefs. They can't exist simultaneously in the same person.

Now, a priest can believe in some portions of marxist thought, and a marxist can believe in some portions of catholic thought, but the one man can not believe in both simultaneously.

If you can't categorize your ideas correctly you will remain a fool stumbling through life perpetually confused.

In understand that Marx was an atheist and all good Marxists give up their allegiance to the "oppression" of religion.
That being said
Liberation theology, prominent among Catholic priests in Latin America during the heyday of Marxism in the Americas in the mid-20th century, espouses much of--but not all--the same rhetoric as Marxism; class struggle, oppression of the working class, socialism, collectivization, etc.
When I say that there are Marxist priests at my uni I'm not being literal. But they are very left-wing.

there weren't many leftist concentration camp guards either...
