They should know better considering their specialty.My only explanations is they have the generic humanities PhD issue is that their degree is worth jack shit in the real world while they feel they should be more respected and better paid and then just extrapolate that to politics.
>>18469186>lefty retard iz when you don't jerk off my schizo fantasiesFuck off
>>18469186Academia itself is dominated by the left, not just history. Both from leftists tending to be wealthier with academia a more feasible pursuit for them compared to a lower class right winger who has to prioritize a career that will provide for family, as well as from the left making academia hard to break into for anyone who disagrees with them politically.
>>18469236>every leftist is le gates community upper class moneybags who grew up eating caviar o algo Why are right wingers so poor and uneducated? Your words btw.
>>18469186>they should know better considering their specialtyMost of history consists of a selfish, vindictive, and greedy elite oppressing and occasionally enslaving, impoverishing, or slaughtering the common people. It may be fascinating to read about, it may have shaped the modern world, but the fact that 99% go left is not because they are unacquainted with the evidence.
>>18469240Urban/white collar vs rural/blue collar
>>18469250Blue collar pays well though. Most people aren't white collar even in libtard central from California. Are you from some third world shithole or something?
>>18469186Something something march through the institutions, something, something.
>>18469186>it's another thread where OP calls everyone a leftist including his fellow right wingers for not being racist enough
>>18469265Another Raj pretending to be American I see. Some blue collar jobs pay well in urban areas but most don't, especially in the South and most especially in rural areas, where right voters are mostly concentrated. Most white collar and upper middle class workers tend to vote left and most heavily left wing cities have a very high concentration of white collar professionals. Of course there are poor left voters and rich right voters, such as inner city blacks who tend to be poor and uneducated but vote left for fiscal reasons but not at all socially and finance professionals who tend to be very fiscally conservative and vote right for that reason, though are not at all socially conservative. The trend remains nonetheless.And again, there is the remaining bias among academia already beyond backgrounds, where someone who is vocally right wing is not getting very far in establishing a career in most universities.
>>18469248And yet the leftist proposes to solve the problem of the elite by .... giving the elite even more control over everything.Genius.
>>18469297>we need to get rid of the elite>no not all of them, just the jewish ones>the rest can continue to fuck us over because I'm their useful idiot Rightoid moment
>>18469298>what is small government
>>18469300Small government is when a very small group gets all the tax money.Waste and fraud is when money's being spent to the profit of numerically significant blocks of the population.
>>18469186Because college history isn't a heckin after dark edit about Hitler saving the white race it is years of studying papers and reading about people that lived during those timesWhen you read for example how all the wonders of the ancient world are built opon slave labour, slaves whose names will never know who are just erased from history (really the only slave most of people know from antiquity is Spartakus) then you bound to go to left conclusions of class struggle
>>18469186>extrapolate that to politicsYou haven't read any serious historian then. That much is evident.
>>18469186>OP reads pop history>complains about itHappens every day.
>>18469186>gee how come all the intelligent and educated people disagree with my worldview?>it just doesnt make any sense>it must be because of university brainwashing that is so sophisticated that it somehow works better the higher a persons IQ is
>>18469297no I want to expropriate them, execute the worst offenders, and radically reshape the economic and political system so that nothing similar can ever rise again?
>>18469555Congratulations, you've installed a new elite who will be as corrupt as the old.No political system can defeat the fact that mankind is fundamentally flawed.
>>18469300Millions of small-holding yeomen in infinite capitalist competition is physically impossible randian mental illness. You end up with Palantir raping and enslaving all of the losers and establishing an even more brazenly kleptocratic system.
>>18469240weren't lefties supposed to be about the proletariat and the working class though? there seems to be a lot of class contempt among them for the proletariat.
>>18469186It's literally the opposite, most historians have always had a conservative bias, read Parenti's ''The Assassination of Julius Caesar'', he goes over this
>>18469186The current social environment encourages high-capital to take leftlib positions. I believe there was at least one study that showed the correlation between leftlib beliefs and intelligence to be somewhat genetically caused.
>>18469638>mankind is fundamentally flawed.We are not. The idea that man is inherently evil is a Christian psyop.
>>18469186Academics who aren't lefties are simply scared of speaking the truth since they don't want to loose their positions, simple as.
>>18469186Because they want to be employed. No way 99% of academic historians are taking a position counter to the current zeitgeist if it threatens their employment. It's all about the money.
>>18469186Right wing political philosophies usually have a deep disdain for the humanities, meaning only left wing individuals are willing to major in it.
>>18470095Having a position where you get to read on your interest all day is pretty dope
>>18470095if it was all about money they wouldnt be professors. The job is passion based. If you think they are wrong prove it.
>>18469186>muh leftists
>>18470426The point is that they wouldn't have the job at all
>>18470435Institutions don’t quiz you on politics during job interviews
>>18470445Thus why right wing people in academia keep quiet. Express right wing political sentiments as openly as far-left wing professors do, at the vast majority of institutions, and there will be a very negative effect on your ability to get and keep a job there. You either silently nod your head to the far-left drivel while keeping your real views to yourself or you don't get into academia at all.
>>18469219fpwp
>>18470487>far-left drivelLike what? Not allowing you to kill niggers?
>>18470492Any sentiments contrary to these
>>18470494>on Pee Wee Herman
>>18469186A LOT of colleges in USA still have COVID vaccine mandates. You're not even allowed on their campuses unless you're a left wing cultist
>>18470494>I Know You Are, but What Am I?>ON Pee-wee herman>Cait McKinneyIs this real?
>>18469186>Why are all 99% of historians such lefty retards?Same reason why corporate research produces pro-corpo results.
>>18470575Unfortunately. All University of Minnesota books.
>>18470426This is more true in science than humanities, which are far more reliant on donors to do work than inspecting texts or the occasional dig. Media aligned academics tend to be far more left leaning than those only in academia and it also depends on what the field is. Classics is a largely ambivalent field with a few media academics (Mary Beard) who are more media personalities than actual academics nowadays. Sociology and politics is filled almost completely with left wing academics
>>18470546At my college there is a mandate but I've never had the vaccine and attend. Basically it's on a don't ask don't tell basis.
>>18470546Only in America is refusing your civic duty considered right-wing
>>18470621The far-right worldwide tend to be antivax. Not just an American thing. Sanseito were freaking out about the vaccine in Japan, FPO were in Austria, PL in Brazil, etc.
>leftshits in thread>there is no such thing as leftists but they're a good thing anyway
>>18470685>the leftists in my head are genociding me again
>>18469297goomba fallacy
>>18470833Government is inherent to leftism
>>18470546>right wing is when you spread plagues
>>18469219Thersites is a self-described leftist social democrat wtf>schizo fantasiesits a schizo fantasy to say WWII was more culturally and technologically impactful than the cold war?explain why
>>18469186Intelligent right wingers usually go into business and not academia. It's probably caused by a mix of natural inclination to make money and become independent, disdain for state funded institutions and left wingers gatekeeping.
