> Last month, the Pew Research Center released a study showing that nearly a third of those who went to graduate or professional school have “down the line” liberal views on social, economic and environmental matters, whereas this is true for just one in 10 Americans generally. An additional quarter of postgrads have mostly liberal views. These numbers reflect drastic change: While professionals have been in the Democratic column for a while, in 1994 only 7 percent of postgrads held consistently liberal political opinions.
We live in an age where some things are so dumb only a highly intelligent person would believe them.

American college is one big circlejerk

The same places where the "liberals" get their education are hotspots for crypto-marxists.

>why are the highly indoctrinated so liberal College is heavily biased towards liberal views. Notice how most people who did they're own research hold conservative views
Isaac Reyes
The level of retardation in this post is amusing.
Brandon Edwards
It's because college is now 60% women 40% men, plus the rise in minorities in younger generations.
I'm curious, do you think Communism is a good idea?
Asher Johnson
Because if you hold leftist and jewish ideologies you are more likely considered to be an intellectual by the globalist elite. You could have an IQ of 200, have 50 successful published books and still be considered to be a dumbass if you hold the wrong opinions.
Connor Baker
I think it's just the result of state sponsored education. People forget that secondary school teachers are college graduates and most graduates end up doing teaching. The secondary school teachers, college students and professors all circle jerk each other about their comfy salaries and smug book reading skills that it's pretty much the system and anyone who does anything like the military or blue collar work is clearly seen as less intelligent or brutish.
I think it's just a cultural thing that liberals are weak and conservatives are dumb. When really it's not so much the case at all.
Jackson Richardson
because it makes them feel good in theire tummy plus they earn alot and live in nice neigborhoods where they are not confronted with theire deseired immigrants and multiculturalism.
Ayden Moore
how many of this so called "high educated" People study something useful?
Gender studies, Social work and Art students are subhumans to be honest.
I remember confronting my liberal friends after pol having a greater appreciation for Christianity and hatred towards Jews and niggers. Although I was rather rude in what I was saying, shitskin arabs etc. Watching liberals squirm and shout racism, sexism etc. Whilst making them look like complete tools for their retarded logic and circle jerking was funnier than anything I had done in a long time.
Liberals are just whiny pussies imo.
Bentley Campbell
Because most University graduates have been mollycoddled and sheltered all their lives so they think everyone is just like them and the similarly-minded people they are surrounded by.
Group-think really.
Nicholas Gray
you know that there are a lot more collage than art, social, gender and engineering?
Mason Ramirez
Wonder which top jew paid for this study to see how well their propaganda and brain washing in universities is doing. It is after all an economic investment.
Ian Nelson

Adrian Reyes
Two reasons.
Because universities are incredibly leftist in nature, so they're taught a bunch of bullshit like that. But primarily it's because the "educated" have a kind of pride when it comes to their education and intelligence, so they usually think they know what's best for people and think that any state is capable of doing anything but only if they were in charge.
It's simply arrogance. They think that society can be controlled by a giant computer, and Intellectuals tend to love taking counter opinions to the general populace just to seem smart. But, ultimately, most old Intellectual Conservatives are dead as well, so that contributes too.
Benjamin Harris
I did this to my uncle two days ago. It ended an hour or so later with me calling him a cuckold.
I'm gonna keep it up and next time bring up the fact that his toddler twins probably will end up getting raped by refugees since he lives in our faggot capital. Notice how they never use facts but only rely on leftist meme-propaganda? It's like fishing using grenades.
Asher Myers
>Why are people with a degree in women's studies so liberal?
Ethan Brown
It has nothing to do with intelligence.
Left-leaning people are more prone to stay for longer in academia and work with research at universities.
Right-leaning people are more prone to leave sooner in order start business, become entrepreneurs or contribute to already existing large businesses.
One makes money, the other complains about people not getting money.
Nathan Martinez
Because they're counting both the neo-liberal socialists and classical liberals as "liberals".
The only problem is that feminism, social justice and all that shit is branded as liberalism, when in reality it actually isn't. Liberalism is FOR the right to freely call someone a nigger, a faggot, a whore, while their inverted definition of "liberalism" is AGAINST that and are trying to get the government involved into enforcing it. That's absolutely not liberalism.
Nathaniel Bailey
because the world looks a whole lot nicer within the confines of an ivory tower
Gabriel Stewart
Because American colleges liberal brainwash the fuck out of their students
have you met any professors? 90% of them are liberal faggots

this, most typically high IQ people will hold the common ideologies of the age. This is the same reason intellectuals were mostly conservative 100+ years ago.

How is he wrong. Go over to /Sci/, 4Chans supposed intellectual power houses and none of them will accept that niggers and women are dumber than men.

Ryder Gonzalez

Connor Powell
Also finishing a graduate program doesn't make you smart
Brody Perry
Mainly because schools are run in a socialist manner. Competition is discouraged. You are taught that the sexes are the same, that the races are the same, etc. The poor kids get free lunch, free supplies, etc. Teachers are mostly women and left wing people.
Also, the format of school better suits feminine students, whether those students are boys or girls. This is why girls do significantly better in school than boys. Lack of testosterone/femininity is heavily co-correlated with having left wing views. Feminine people are generally more obedient, less rambunctious, and more okay with sitting in one place for long periods of time. Valuable attributes if you want to enjoy and do well in school.

Evan Long
High education means higher income on average, and thus segregation in wealthier communities and districts. Instead of learning from contact with the dredges of society, you're learning ivory tower dreamscapes and ideals of human equality. Basically, education shields you from making your own experiences and substitutes ideology.
Easton Price
Historians are mostly redpilled tho. And no, John Green and /his/ are not historians
William Fisher
It's true. I remember one professor who had a class and wanted to know what newspapers we all read. Then rejected a questionnaire I'd made because I was incorrect about putting just male and female into gender. I didn't have a fucking clue what his reasoning was at the time but it's so fucking obvious now. He virtue signalled hard with an Afghan student in our year.
Isaiah Lewis
Keyword here is high educated Of course highly educated people would be idealists Meanwhile as time goes on they become experienced which changes their view on a more common sense manner High experienced and educated people are mostly redpilled traditionalists
Jaxson Perry
More time in academia less time in reality.
You ever wonder why they all turn conservative except for the one that stay back and teach?
Lucas Perry
>highly educated please provide more information
Economists, historians, and some other professions tend to be conservative. You also need to define liberal. I consider myself liberal in the fact that I'm for personal freedoms and that people should be free to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own home. I am not a believe in flooding the country with immigrants, giving people "free" shit on the taxpayer's dollar, and whatever other insanity the democrats want to engage in these days.
Elijah Sullivan
Yep because they choose scientific workers according to their political views.
Adam White
As someone with a Master of Philosophy and has spent some time submersed in the academic culture, academics generally become academics because they have no interest in joining the private sector. This is why they tend to be left leaning and liberal minded.
John Lewis
Left-Wing world views are non-competetive by nature and couple well with a beta-male personality. Colleges are safe-spaces and rely much more on telling you how to think rather than teaching you to think. Colleges are very favoring of beta-males as opposed to alpha-males. The only alpha males in college are there for sports scholarships
Benjamin Bennett
Also despite what you might think you get shunned and censored for having opinion that goes against the status quo. If you don't agree with the professors limited view of the world you are wrong and you slowly get worked out of the system.
Jose Rivera
Highly educated people usually have access to their education because they come from a privileged background. It seemed so easy for them to reach success, that they don't really understand how difficult it would be to give everyone else the same advantages.
Jacob Torres
literally doublethinking on doublethink

Leo Watson
WIth all of the information on the web, you don't even need to go to college anymore, as all of the information you need is there. No need to have yourself indocrinated and spend good money on something like college if you just need an education. Most people just do for the certificate anyways.
Adrian Johnson
Intelligent/educated people favor a system in which they get to tell other people what to do. They want to be the court priests of the world.
Of course, intelligence does not equal competence, creativity, work ethic, wisdom, etc. So the intelligent people who lack these things aspire to positions and political movements where they can insert themselves and ideas into successful things that other people have created and built.
The success of intellectuals depends not on the real-world results of the ideals they promote, but on how their ideas are received by other intellectuals. While this would be ridiculous in other professions, it is the norm in academia. Thus it is in their interest to keep their ideas removed from any kind of negative feedback (I.e. real world implementation) in order to gain more support among their peers, until an idea becomes "consensus".
Thomas Sowell has several excellent books about this.
Ethan Morris
Socialism strives for the downright ruin of the individual, which it sees as an unjustified luxury of nature, and which it intends to develop into an expedient organ of the community; it needs the most submissive subjugation of all citizens to the absolute state. It secretly prepares for chaos and disorder, and drives the word "justice" like a nail into the head of the semi-educated masses, to rob them completely of their reason.
Andrew Ramirez
>Why Are the Highly Educated So Liberal? That's a meme
The people running this world, the real informed people, are neither left or right.
They're just pure evil.

Actually, I've been browsing /sci/ since its inception in 2010
It was never like this. During 2010-12, eugenics threads were spammed literally daily. Scientific proofs that niggers are subhuman were spammed literally daily with the IQ studies and such.
Then came a mod (from the SRS invasion) who was the literal definition of a reddit mod, and started banning every.single.post he disagreed with. Your post contains "nigger"? Too bad, 3 days ban for "Inane Trolling Garbage". I personally remember when I was banned for posting ON TOPIC in an eugenics thread, and replying to a thread ON TOPIC again but with a picture of Hitler (topic was psychology of leadership)
Slowly, the number of people browsing /sci/ dropped. The ones who came to this site because they loved the way you can freely express yourself left it, the only ones who stayed were the ones who agreed with the bans. That's why /sci/ is like it is nowadays, not because they're supposedly "smart". The rest of the old /sci/ browsers are all spread between the boards and are still freely discussing /sci/-related stuff on those boards.
Here's a small proof for that - something I wrote yesterday on Sup Forums that we'd usually discuss on /sci/. Worth the read imo.
Isaac Thomas
True, it should go without saying at this point.
William Edwards
“If facts, logic, and scientific procedures are all just arbitrarily "socially constructed" notions, then all that is left is consensus--more specifically peer consensus, the kind of consensus that matters to adolescents or to many among the intelligentsia.” ― Thomas Sowell, Intellectuals and Society

“[beware that] “many of what are called social problems are differences between the theories of intellectuals and the realities of the world—differences which many intellectuals interpret to mean that it is the real world that is wrong and needs changing.” ― Thomas Sowell, Intellectuals and Society

All I can see on /sci/ are pretentious skience gifs that looked like "sciency" like a walking T-Cell or Bacteriophages rupturing a bacterial cell and posters will go "WOAH SO AMAZING XDDDDD"
Jack Lewis
Highly-educated, old-ish non-liberal here. I actually hold what have traditionally been considered "far leftist' views on most social matters, but am vehemently against the globalizing, technocratic mindset that the half-educated left has been mindlessly corraled into over the last decade or so.
My views haven't really changed, but the political "left" and "right" seem to have switched polarities.
Christopher Brown
You're looking at this from the wrong angle, let me explain in Sup Forums.
>rich comfy parents in good area >give birth to little cunt >little cunt grows up comfy, sheltered >little cunt gets into good schools and gets 'well educated' >little cunt turns 14 and gets first computer >little cunt basically has nothing to reach for in life because his parents gave him everything >little cunt plays armchair humanitarian and goes full libcuck >parents go full libcuck

Undergrads have become highschool 2.0 and master's/PhDs have turned into an excuse for telling your parents you didn't plan this far ahead in your life and need a few years to figure something out.

Because the working class suffer the most from immigration and 'diversity' Western Universities are also marxist indoctrination centers
Juan Morgan
1. Social sciences in the West are heavily biased towards leftism, contrary views are not presented, right wing authors/social scientists are ignored as evil/nonexistent 2. More "right wing" views often emerge as a result of direct confrontation/threat/hardship. That's why young French are a lot more far right than the entire 1968 generation - they expirienced minority violence and feel threatened by gangs/muslims. Their parents/grandparents live in la la land. Postgrads/people going to elite universities often live very sheltered lives with the worse things happenning to them is someone "triggering" them on Twitter.
Matthew Rodriguez
It's quite literally red.dit, don't even bother browsing that shithole.
Keep to the freest boards on this site - Sup Forums, Sup Forums and Sup Forums. It's usually a sea of shitposting, but a very interesting and valuable post is statistically impossible not to appear once in a while due to the volume of posts.
Luis Evans
Why did educated Americans support the war? When my audiences learn that educated people were more hawkish, they scurry about concocting new explanations. Since they are still locked into their presumption that educated people are more intelligent and have more good will than the less educated, their theories have to strain to explain why less-educated Americans were right.
Two social processes, each tied to schooling, can account for educated Americans' support of the Vietnam War. The first can be summarized by the term allegiance.
The other process causing educated adults to be more likely to support the Vietnam War can be summarized under the rubric socialization. Sociologists have long agreed that schools are important socializing agents in our society. “Socializing” in this context does not mean hobnobbing around a punch bowl but refers to the process of learning and internalizing the basic social rules language, norms, etiquette necessary for an individual to function in society.
I think this is my favorite line of thought for retarded people. It shows that you don't really know anything about communism, and are just parroting thoughts someone else had.
Here are some "awesome" things about communism on paper:
> everything you make has to be surrendered to the local stockpile > you have no income, and so if you want anything, you'd better hope someone else already makes it, and makes enough for the stockpile > it has so legal way of dealing with dissentors, so if someone doesn't contribute, and becomes a mooch, there's no state to enforce the communal aspect of it > you surrender your children at birth to the local Creech > the family unit is completely destroyed, and uncommunistic
None of these things are good on paper, which leads me to believe someone you thought you respected told you that one time, and you believed them without giving it one second if critical thought.

We live in a technocracy now. Our real rulers are not politicians but the people who have developed the communicative networks that shape human discourse (or openly try to determine its content, as we're seeing with this recent joint censorship agreement between FB, google and MS in the EU).
Another danger of technological thinking in general is that the machines end up programming people. A simple way to exemplify this would be to compare the operability of mainstream PCs 20 years ago to today's entirely-graphical UIs which essentially lock common users out from controlling their own system.
People are being conditioned to accept fewer and fewer choices and to cede more and more control to machinic systems which "know better." Evgeny Morozov has written at length about this. History will show that the trend was terminal.
Aaron Moore
It's amazing what happens when you're able to think critically without relying on memes. That the only reason poltards are voting for Trump because he's a meme candidate. Sup Forums, once again, BTFO.

>not mentioning the fact that there is no way to calculate supply and demand That's the number one proven way to kill the concept of communism. It has no way of calculating production or distribution. It basically hand-waves it all away with "everything will be in abundance!".
