desire to impose social control on others

Because they have never worked a day in their life

All talk no action

> go to university
> pay a lot of money to learn a particular degree
> but the other price you must pay is that you must agree with the university doctrine or else take significant social and sometimes grade hits
> learn your degree while being brainwashed in the process
> leave uni believing that their belief is based on their intelligence rather than just being incredibly sheltered and brainwashed throughout their education

Wow so complicated, dunno how you're ever gonna figure this one out.

because they haven't allowed dissenting opinions in the universities for decades.

mental illness

Because commies took over Universities back in the 60s.

Baizuo. They are delusional.

Because racism and concervatism are associated with low intelligence

Fun fact : intellectual is used as an insult in Poland

Leftists invented intellectualism because they didn't want to get a real job.

Grants and other public money...the lifeblood of leftism.

Pic not related

Left-wingers are just smarter on average. Verbal intelligence is the most g-loaded form of intelligence.

Why do leftists refrain from real work?

Polack! What the fuck are you doing?! You are gonna pay for this post. Wait and see.

Professional do nothing intellectuals are always left wing. Right wing intellectuals are people you're not likely to hear about unless you work with them.

This is mostly a horseshit myth, when you do some actual investigation you'll find there's fairly even representation of political views. Although what likely contributes to this viewpoint is that those with more conservative viewpoints keep their politics more private than their left wing counterparts for fairly obvious reasons.

Because when you don't have any practical or marketable skills at all, you get to spend a lot of time coming up with reasons why it must be everyone elses fault.

>Universities controlled by the left
>Intellectually rooted narcissism

But then liberal dominate STEM fields as well.

Unconventional style of thinking that conservatives shun.

Correction: Pseudo Intellectuals.

pseudo-intellectuals

Lol at this thread.
Intellectual but can't figure out how to properly govern.

According to leftist "studies." If you actually believe this, then you're a fool.

>reality has a left wing bias
Kek

How's the obamacare repeal going?

You are scaring me again, 4 chan.

There is no left/right wing. There is only divide and conquer.

Because 'intellectual' is a term defined by the left.

The government funds them so they love it.

Oh you

Because that's what you've been made to think and you actually have no idea what an intellectual looks like.

Same reason most soviet intellectuals were communists and most Saudi intellectuals are Islamists

Liberalism is the west's state religion. I don't mean metaphorically, I mean LITERALLY. Religious conformity is a prerequisite for advancing in academia just like communism was in the USSR

You just described Sup Forums
>muh jews
>muh niggers
>muh commies

And that is an important notice. You can be intelligent, but not an intellectual, because you do not have the correct ideology.

Counter question, why are there so many 'intellectuals', which are unable to understand mathematics? Which arguably is the pinnacle of human civilization.

Because of the influence of frankfurt school, which beget Alinsky, which beget the poison of academia.

The real shift is coming now that smartphones have brought the internet and knowledge to the masses, therefore normalizing opportunities for those that can afford college vs. Those that can't.

It looks like there's something wrong with this chart. If it pertains to the US, there should be more red in it. Conservatives slightly outnumber liberals.

Institutional biases within academia toward the left

What

I talk about Jews like soros and the Rothschilds and I'm in grad school.

They are champagne socialists.
>live a very cosy upper middle class existence
>zero hard physical activity or labour
>surrounded by sycophants who continually agree with them and never challenge their world view
they have never factored in the fact that they only live the lifestyles they have because of the billions of people underneath them. That their brand of middle class "equality" can't exist if nobody does the shitty unpleasant jobs and that no cunt would do those dirty long hours if they were not compelled into doing them. The intellectual class are parasites who only exist because of the exploitation and wage slaves beneath them. There is a reason the likes of Noam comes from America and not China or Russia. There is also a reason Chomsky had chosen to stick with the official 9/11 narrative and then later on stated that "it wouldn't matter even if it was an inside job because we have moved on yada yada"...he and his ilk are "socialists" as long as (((socialism))) keeps them in their upper middle class privileged positions. AKA these fuckers are not actual socialists, they just push the meme because it sells books etc to naive idealistic teenagers.
>Chomsky=capitalist Jewish liar

I'm not the most intelligent person but I'm getting some of the highest grades in my uni course right now.

Now, I'm intelligent enough to know that I can't voice any legitimate political opinions I hold without possibly losing my education and career.

I'm also intelligent enough to know that the entire political and moral system is built up around garbage principles. Everything people like is wrong. What people seem as "successful" intellectually is essentially doing some ridiculous garbage like feeding and educating more little niggers in Africa. Academia is a joke since you'll end up a poor and miserable person surrounded by monkeys and other undesirables.

There's no way I can contribute to this system so I'm going to get a job or start a businss and make money for myself. I'll never voice a single political position and I'll sell whatever products to whatever retard or bigger will make me money.

>go to university for nuclear physics
>"Hurr must be that SJW propaganda I herd so much about!"
Fuck off, retard.

Any intellectual is a fucking intellectual knowing it would be a bad idea to claim to be right wing.

So you only hear about left wing "intellectuals"

Just discovered Gramsci and his idea about of Cultural Hegemony. How come he isn't mentioned very often considering that Cultural Hegemony is quite prevalent throughout the west?

intellectuals no longer exist in our universities

they're all yaas bois

Actually the intelligentsia are more prone to stereotyping. (theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/07/intelligent-people-are-more-likely-to-stereotype/535158/)

Please archive those

le epik meme XDD XD XD XDDDD!!!!!!

>Stalinist
>intellectual
He's not an intellectual, he did some grammar shit in the 60's stop sucking his dick.

...

if reality has a bias towards something it's towards the right wing.
every single leftist ideology is about how to undermine the natural order of things and the refusal of hard facts in favor of idealism.

>""""""natural order""""""

Smart people more likely to be pussies
Physical strength strongly correlated with conservatism
Academics are always physically weak disgusting creatures
Look at Noam Chomsky, you can tell his wife shits on his face and puts him in a chastity cage

>political ideas are a mental illness
Literally what Soviet authorities said in the 70s to discredit dissidents.

I'm an academic at a Russell Group university. In my department (Politics and IR) there are four other right of centre academics other than myself. The building down from us is Mathematics, who have a similar ratio. About 5 percent of academic staff and maybe 15 percent of students. It doesn't vary much throughout departments.

The activities of the left majority vary massively. At Durham or Bath or Imperial they would be left well alone. At LSE or SOAS or Sussex or Liverpool they'd be marked for firing at all times. We're somewhere in the middle.

It permeates everything. You can't escape it.

The most radical leftists I know are hard science associate professors. They're absolute zealots.

Uncomformism is a left wing trait which is very useful in sciences

you can't do science if you like the world the way it is or even the way it used to be like most conservatards

youtube.com/watch?v=Wln6lNTxVpY&t=491s

Based black man. People don't think the market be like it is but it do. Marxists don't know much.

By your logic, Feudalism, Non-democracies and slavery were "natural" order of things

the fact that right wing "intellectuals" are mostly black proves you guys are retarded

left wingers just realize nothing in this world means anything and change culture according to their whims

men used to wear skirts and have homosex with each other, men are going to wear skirts and have homosex with each other again

history is a cycle

Grant money.

Living in their Ivory Tower their whole lives.

Right wing intellectuals are ostracized.

> right wing "intellectuals" are mostly black
One? I thought they were all jews? Or all catholics/atheists? Which is it.

criticism is good for improvement and states are naturally right-wing in order to impose control.

Jesus was such one and was killed for 'over-doing' it.

To survive in academia you need to be leftist or a closet conservative. Academia is hierarchical. Your progress depends on the approval of senior academics.

This.

Also. Niggers.

He was a filthy commie but he got that right. Hegemony is the glue that keeps society together more so than ideology. Without it, without peer pressure to conform to norm, it all falls apart sooner or later.

> Gramsci is best known for his theory of cultural hegemony, which describes how the state and ruling capitalist class – the bourgeoisie – use cultural institutions to maintain power in capitalist societies. The bourgeoisie in Gramsci's view develops a hegemonic culture using ideology rather than violence, economic force, or coercion.
> Hegemonic culture propagates its own values and norms so that they become the "common sense" values of all and thus maintain the status quo. Hegemonic power is therefore used to maintain consent to the capitalist order, rather than coercive power using force to maintain order. This cultural hegemony is produced and reproduced by the dominant class through the institutions that form the superstructure.

That's why there can never be a truly multicultural society unless one group dominates the others and makes them conform to their own norms and standards.

Universities used to be full of aristocrats and sons of wealthy merchants and they were strongly anti-leftist. Back in the 1910s we had street battles with right-wing university students led by right-wing professors fighting against working class and soldier commies.

Today the professors and university students still hate the working class and the military but now the university is the commie side.

"Intellectuals" are just paid whores of the ruling class and the left-wing intellectuals reflect the decline of aristocracy and the takeover of the West by a left-wing ruling class.

Because otherwise your career gets destroyed, and media attacks you incessantly until you are discredited.

Because the left is allowed to define "intellectual"

Also, the Left doesn't want to discuss its dirty secrets, they want you to believe intellectuals were always Left Wing types, not that they subverted the institutions they found.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_long_march_through_the_institutions

> The main influence on Dutschke's thinking is commonly thought to be the work of Italian communist Antonio Gramsci who wrote about cultural hegemony and the need for a "war of position" to establish the conditions for a revolutionary "war of manoeuvre".

> Herbert Marcuse corresponded with Dutschke in 1971 to agree with this strategy, "Let me tell you this: that I regard your notion of the 'long march through the institutions' as the only effective way..."

> In his 1972 book, Counterrevolution and Revolt, Marcuse wrote :
> "To extend the base of the student movement, Rudi Dutschke has proposed the strategy of the long march through the institutions: working against the established institutions while working within them, but not simply by 'boring from within', rather by 'doing the job', learning (how to program and read computers, how to teach at all levels of education, how to use the mass media, how to organize production, how to recognize and eschew planned obsolescence, how to design, et cetera), and at the same time preserving one's own consciousness in working with others.

Because they aren't subject to personal attacks

I have some research to dive into. Thanks mate.

There's plenty of it, even if you do Engineering. If it's not in the course, it's rubbed in your face every moment on campus that you aren't in lectures etc. Try going to uni sometime, it'll open your eyes and you'll stop responding like a stupid little cunt in future.

This

Because they're self-absorbed and never want to actually do any real work.

Nice bait

comon peeps , mind sage/not respond to guided threads like these ?

>intellectual

He's a charlatan

Being able to SOUND smart doesn't mean you're smart.

Why are most criminals niggers?

Based on what ? your filthy albanian ass ?

Source ?

Ideological filtration.

intelligent whites are filtered out. Only true believers are allowed to succeed.

Because you have confirmation bias.

Start with the Greeks, continue with the Romans and finish off with the Western canon

openculture.com/2014/01/harold-bloom-creates-a-massive-list-of-works-in-the-western-canon.html

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_books#Series

Only the true believer ever gets the truth, and the ideas are spread with memes so the source material is never impugned.

For example Marcuse:

>"Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.”

>They would include the withdrawal of toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements which promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or which oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc. Moreover, the restoration of freedom of thought may necessitate new and rigid restrictions on teachings and practices in the educational institutions which, by their very methods and concepts, serve to enclose the mind within the established universe of discourse and behavior — thereby precluding a priori a rational evaluation of the alternatives. And to the degree to which freedom of thought involves the struggle against inhumanity, restoration of such freedom would also imply intolerance toward scientific research in the interest of deadly “deterrents,” of abnormal human endurance under inhuman conditions, etc.

They literally don't even teach us our own government: fascist totalitarian cultural Marxism. And yet it is clearly the world we live in.

Remember to read at least book a week to keep up a routine.

Frankly because Cultural marxism and its influence are very real. But also, because:
-The more educated you are, the less likely to believe the world has been created by a magical ghost hidden in the sky
-You want to validate ideas through rational thinking rather than authority.
-You're attached to individual freedoms.
-you actually know science, and know not to equal physical laws with moral laws (e.g. you do not believe that darwinism is a "duty" but are able to realize it is a mere statistical fact; know that the whole concept of "against nature laws" is pure irrational bullshit since if the thing was a real nature law its opposite wouldn't simply exist ever. e.g. homosexuality.)

Because left wingers get to decide who is "intellectual" or not

You're only an "intellectual" if you're left wing.
If you are right wing, you're a "hate mongering psychopath".

I think Hayek does a good job at explaining it

>Let's play identify the person who has never been in a history classroom
Oh, found him!

I'm in uni studying CS and I've literally never experienced anything remotely like this. Go to a better fucking school

>Why are most liars left-wing?
Ftfy

Most stupid white people are right-wing because they are bitter and think that people different to them are stealing their jobs. Bunch of snowflakes.

try harder

Because they suck at math
