Why is it that intelligent, well-rounded, well-read and educated people tend to be left-leaning? Virtually every lawyer/engineer/doctor/professor I've known has been liberal and left-leaning.
It seems that only the uneducated and close-minded tend to be right-wing.
Colosal if factual
I'm successful and pretend to be a center leftist cosmopolitan.
Smart people hide their power level.
plenty of studies out there just a google search away
People tend to become conservative through age and experience.
Many times these educated people lack real-world experience and just have what people have taught them.
Only the smartest of our age would condone sex with animals
The only people who voted for Trump are rural and suburban retards.
City people all voted for Hillary.
Gigantic if accurate

Source? Or just your perception?
Same. You can't spout any conservative opinions in the workplace without risking punishment. Just a while ago a chick got fired from her job for posting on her FB with 'it's okay to vote no'. This was regarding the same sex marriage plebiscite in Oz.
Tremendous if genuine

>Virtually every lawyer/engineer/doctor/professor I've known has been liberal and left-leaning.
this is a lie. Most of these, except for professors, are conservative or centrist.
Your are absolutely right there are no lawyers, engineers, or small business owners that are right wing. Have a good night officer.
The intelligent and educated tend to be politically correct, if they opened their mouth they wouldn't appear so open minded as you think they are.
The uneducated on the other hand tend to voice their opinions without caring what others think, that makes them appear close minded, but they are just being honest.
...
Just stop.
I only pretend to be left because I don't want to be prosecuted for my beliefs.
Are musicians literally Stalin or something?
Why is it that people whose livelihoods depend on government funding and are immune to free market pressures - i.e., everyone in universities - just happen to support big government policies? Weird.
Facts have a liberal bias.
Fucking clueless libtard.

they only pretend to be for job security purposes because being a conservative publicly is bad for company PR due to the media being run by leftists
Quick rundown? Its because wealthy upper middle class have never had to deal with a nigger in their life. Who would have thunk a small and limited world view would have such consequences.
That's not true, unless all these professionals you speak of are Jews or diversity hires. Lawyers especially seem to lean right, rest are mixed, with professors being the only ones who lean left. Almost every white working professional I know is a conservative.
>leaf
Not surprised. Nice slide thread though, it's good bait.
You know what to do for these people.
The more well off someone is, the more conservative they tend to be.
That's the thing, conservatives are the ones considered intolerant, but it's almost always libs saying this shit. Conservatives will discuss their beliefs and politics with anyone civilly with mutual respect, can't be said about liberals.
simple a lot of it is just a facade. I have a master's degree and work in a very liberal profession. I'd be fired in a heartbeat if I ever mentioned anything contrary to liberal ideology. my social media is clean and absent of anything political. I nominally agree to their absolutely retarded drivel but that is in no way how I actual feel.
if right wing views were allowed in public you'd see more educated people sharing them. sorry but we have shit to lose so we keep quit but that doesn't mean we don't exist
>larp
sorry to disappoint but I'm a teacher and having a master's degree means more shekels
Say you're not overly fond of fags and niggers, dare to question the holocaust, never work another day in your life.
It really is that simple.
Probably, but if you work in a liberal sphere you at least have to pretend to be apolitical. If you work in a university, it's best to pretend that and then stop giving a shit when you get tenured, at like age 50.
This is very accurate.
>Be intelligent through school life
>Go to honors and IB classes the last few years
>The curriculum's are developed by (((foreign))) bodies with a preference for internationalism
>Get told for 10 years that diversity is good for you, multiculturalism is normal, and that the world is a giant village
>Shit on the history and struggles of western nations, criticize the past, and blame people now or make them guilty for things they didn't do
>Get told that people hold on to their cultures and values because of religion, mock them for being old fashioned and make collectivism trendy
>Shit on the sacrifices of people that made your decadent ways possible
Neo cons and neo libs are traitors. These "educated" people only chase after money and they have no sense of community, they are comfy with having an engineered society that barley has any cohesion and they will suffer the most for their delusion when the economy finally crashes.
>right-leaning
>uneducated
>close(d)-minded
I don't believe that for a fucking second. They're hiding in plain sight if you have never met a right-leaning "renaissance man". The cultural norm is very antagonistic for such people and for bullshit reasons too. That same group has tradies and boots on the ground, on top of the innumerable autist sleeper cells that somehow come out full force when maximum asshurt is in the works on the chans.
On top of age and experience, it's a well known axiom that you should hide your powerlevel. Tactics & Countertactics 101.
I did IB as well and had none of that lol
High IQ means higher empathy.
Think of le oppressed minorities
then you understand how psychopathic liberals are? I've seen a colleague fired because of wrong think. you get a couple of 30 something single never been married women on the war path and bad things happen. my colleague's contract was dropped and the union didn't do a damn thing about it.
Bullshit leaf, (((Rotary))) and (((IB))) go hand in hand. It's a bunch of shabbos goyim and kikes injecting globalism into the minds of the most dedicated kids. Consider that people spend more of their time in school than with there parents and its no surprise they are being brainwashed by all these hook noses.

Getting a degree at an indoctrination camp =/= intelligent
You've been socially engineered to believe individuals who do so, are intelligent.
This isn't reddit.
big if true
This. Look at what they did to Jordan Peterson. I doubt he's the only one with those views.
Also look at James Damore. When leftists get a stranglehold on positions of power/influence, they use it to stamp out any right-wing thought through tyrannical means.
Because conservative economic policies are retarded as fuck.
>We need to help struggling Americans by tax cutting the ultra rich
>We need to balance the budget by raising taxes on the poor
Why won't someone create a socially conservative, economic center left capitalist, party?

I'm a big lit guy and it's pretty easy to see why some many "book people" are left-leaning - it's because 95% of what they read conforms to and reaffirms their views. The modern literary scene is just one big pseudo-intellectual leftist circlejerk about disabled trannies and WE WUZ negroes in space. We need more intelligent right-wingers to write fiction that breaks apart those assertions.
Also don't assume well-educated = intelligent. A lot of academia people are actually pretty stupid.
Same here. People think i'm a left, leaning even socialist (go bernie!) and total cosmopolitan cheerleader. In truth, 14/88.
Considering the treatment conservatives, and generally right-leaning people are given by the media and SJ institutions, I'm even surprised about how many intellectuals still identify as Conservatives. The right wing has dominated the academia and generally the entire intellectual discourse at least up until the 90's. There have only been spikes of the number of Marxist and Socialist thinkers, of (((a certain ethnic identity))), during the Marx era and early 20th century, but aside from Noam Chomsky, I don't recall many left leaning academics who have contributed to any academic field as significantly as the top right-wingers. Besides, most significant intellectuals don't even have some radical leaning in any direction, the left-right spectrum is for retards.
God, I've had fucking professors with a PhD that didn't know the difference between your/you're and there/their/they're. It's mindblowing how low the bar for entry actually is.
Reminder that this is heresy
>plenty of studies out there just a google search away
Bro, if you make a claim have some backing ready to give when someone's asking you for it, don't tell me to google it ffs, i'm not willing to spend half a second moving my finger to do your job.
Now, I do have the data backing me that most Economists and engineers are right-wing, even if they identify as right-libertarians instead of conservatives. Most social studies and humanities "intellectuals", are left for the very obvious reasons, that has always been that way, and I expect it to remain that way. Most scientists, do not have a political affiliation, and if they do, they most likely do it on the basis of whether a left or right policy would benefit them personally more, (in terms of what kind of policy enables them to do their research, financially).
> intelligent, well-rounded, well-read

Why do you think that virtually every lawyer/engineer/doctor/professor isn't black? Why are blacks so underrepresented among the intelligent, well-rounded, well-read people?
>uneducated
>close-minded
Does it follow that only the uneducated and close-minded tend to be black?
>Marketing - Right
I'd say they're more on the left than the right

I wouldn't say academia people are stupid, but the majority of career academics have little to no real world experience or practical knowledge. Virtually everything they've learnt has come from a book, most of them would have trouble changing a tyre or even replacing a lightbulb.
Could it simply be that people who are more educated are more likely to believe in the power of education over genetics due to survivorship bias, kind of like how talented athletes and artists tend to discredit their own gifts in favor of the power of hard work?
Those people are more likely to be that type of person who "knows everything". You know that type. Even the truth doesn't work on them.

Smart people usually keep their political affiliation to themselves, if you see someone who doesn't really talk politics in the office, chances are the person is a Republican

It's because you're Canadians there are no other opinions allowed
>Why is it that intelligent, well-rounded, well-read and educated people tend to be left-leaning?
Because a concerted effort was made to make it this way.
Pre World War 2 the vast majority of intellectuals advocated for eugenics.
Is it just a meme that they check your facebook and stuff?
We literally cannot ban Canadians soon enough

Just fuck off, leaf. Also:
because leftists and progressives control the academies and purged their enemies so everyone else fell in line
The university intellectuals also play an important role in carrying out the System's trick. Though they like to fancy themselves independent thinkers, the intellectuals are (allowing for individual exceptions) the most oversocialized, the most conformist, the tamest and most domesticated, the most pampered, dependent, and spineless group in America today. As a result, their impulse to rebel is particularly strong. But, because they are incapable of independent thought, real rebellion is impossible for them. Consequently they are suckers for the System's trick, which allows them to irritate people and enjoy the illusion of rebelling without ever having to challenge the System's basic values.
Because they are the teachers of young people, the university intellectuals are in a position to help the System play its trick on the young, which they do by steering young people's rebellious impulses toward the standard, stereotyped targets: racism, colonialism, women's issues, etc. Young people who are not college students learn through the media, or through personal contact, of the "social justice" issues for which students rebel, and they imitate the students. Thus a youth culture develops in which there is a stereotyped mode of rebellion that spreads through imitation of peers—just as hairstyles, clothing styles, and other fads spread through imitation.
