So thats why 95% of the world's intellectual's are left wing.

>>10178364
This is true. Just look at the the people they most influence: impressionable college students who haven't learned to think or read for themselves yet. Luckily most of them grow up once they get into the real world, and those who get most sucked into the cult end up becoming academics themselves.

>>10178364
I am also left winged, but that statistic came right our of your ass.

/leftypol/ is always reading though

>>10178324
But this isn't true.

And even after a post like this you will continue wondering why universities are run by people who lean left

Because almost all the great writers were conservative Christian men. Maupassant is a notable liberal exception but would probably be considered conservative today. If you've read all the great 19th century works it will mold you into a Christian conservative.

there are perhaps five or six people in the entire world who can be described as being well-read

>>10178402
Name them

Have you ever worked an actual physical labor job? I'm willing to bet you, and at least 90% of so-called "communists", haven't. In fact I'm willing to bet a significant majority of communists are unemployed students, academics, or moochers that live with their parents.

Your statement is factually incorrect

>>10178433
his statement was about the left wing though

>>10178433
no one voted for hillary, they voted against the other one

Oh please, Christianity is just the current contrarianism. Yesterday it was Marxism and tomorrow it'll be something else. Early-20s-fags will always have ennui.

Ive worked construction. My dad did too, and he doesn't want any of his kids to end up there. Your body gets shot by 45 and you have no retirement plan to show for it. You work 10 hour days and have no interior life. Its always about the hustle. Blue collar work is a miserable way to spend your youth. I lean left for unrelated reasons.

Post your political alignment and your ten favorite authors. Sure it doesn't solve anything, but it could be fun. I'm theist/unaligned (did vote for Trump). In high school I was a liberal and militant atheist. For a few years after I turned agnostic/democrat.

ive worked minimum wage jobs for years at a time. That experience has merely strengthened my belief in the iniquity of private property and all productionist systems including the failed socialist experiments of the 20th century

I am a Greek Orthodox Maoist and my ten favorite authors are the nine heteronyms I used to write my diary and Rabelais.

Only 5% of people are "well read"

>>10178421
What a convenient way to brush aside any opposing argument, by just automatically assuming those who disagree with you are sheltered children. Just as simple as /pol/ deriding everybody who doesn't buy into their shit is a shill.
Not everybody who sympathizes with communism is some purple-haired fatass tumblr trans abomination. A lot of us are just acutely aware of the irreparable damage that capitalism has wrought on the west. The right talks a big game about preserving western civilization, but their hero is a KFC-eating, Diet Coke-swilling reality tv star who proudly boasts about how he has no time for books.

Because leftists have been in in power of mass media and entertainment for a while now so the received unthinking opinion is to believe the things that are represented to you on the flashing screen.

Being right wing in this environment takes activity, thought, energy, intelligence, and courage.
