Is philosophy a form of intellectual?

>>18584645
expresso

Most right wingers do not go to university. The few university students who do lean right wing study economics.

I'll also note this is likely only true in the Anglo West

>>18584645
All of the good conservative intellectuals have been kicked out of academia and hardly anyone will publish nor listen to what they have to say.

>>18584645
I don't know. Why do you think that philosophy and other forms of intellectuals are absent in today's Conservatism?

Intellectually I know that this whore looks like fat bario trash without the pound of makeup and the myspace angles. I can see it even with at this point.

>>18584645
Because academia is hostile to right wing beliefs

Alasdair Macintyre
Roger scruton

Probably a few others, generally academia skews left due to leftist analysis being more likely to be true.
Communitarian conservatives are fine though, they’re not retards like the shapiros and buckleys

>>18584678
And for good reason

I'm shamelessly invoking https://xkcd.com/774/ and I also know self-awareness doesn't absolve anybody of anything but liberal and conservative "intellectuals" are both worthless cretins

>>18584695
Prove it

>>18584703
Just because an idea is tasteless does not at all speak of its validity.

Pass.

How are people letting conservatives live down the Trump era? They are permanently discredited imho.

I honestly think it has more to do with culture than with genuine intelligence. That is to say, even the most gifted among us (save for the truly special) hold their opinions moreso because of who is around them than serious reflection. Maybe we could argue that im attribution causation to a consequence. Idk. I'm right leaning myself so maybe I'm just coping for the fact that I'm dumb and everyone else like me is dumb too.

>among us

>>18584752
I meant like, mankind.... not this board

>>18584645
Because your bubble only reads leftist books amd is not in contact without any other type of thought, otherwise you'd not have asked

>>18584722
I think that any period of societal change is going to start with opportunists and grifters. When right wing televangelism and republicans ruled the first sets of hippies were ostracized.
Now that left wing zealots and corporate oligarchists have come to power we see the Trumps and the Lindells and the Krakens getting low traction and replaced, however the ideas of personal rights and free speech they represent will endure.

>>18584777
True and checked.

>>18584645
>philosophy is a form of intellectual
I think it might be due to illiteracy.

>>18584645
Conservatism is intellectually devoid.

they are in math's departments

Something about this camera angle gets me incredibly hard

>>18584834
So is every other form of liberalism. Soulless neofeudal garbage to the roots

>>18584850
Do you imagine that you are her penis, staring up at her, trying to argue that analytical philosophy is other than vacuous, and you know that she is going to spank you until semen explodes from your forehead like God leaving you and the world?

>>18584722
Trump's America. Dark days for democracy, indeed.

Submission is the release and comfort of finding someone that knows you are a loser and sexually accepts you anyway. It's a fantasy for men and women but women can actually get it easily as it is generally unacceptable for men to be failures, esp. from women.

Based, modern intellectuals are trash anyways. Anything that promotes individualism is already much more valuable.

>>18584645
Genuine philosophy is absent in almost all political movements, not just "conservatism." Equally applies to left and right.

>>18584834
Hey, Butterfly. Taking a logical stance towards things in moderation is best, this is part of acknowledging there is some truth to conservatism. I would prefer for you not to think in absolutes or sweeping generalizations, thank you :3

>>18584697
Is this bait?

intellectualism is dead

>Conservatism is intellectually devoid.

>>18584834
Devoid of what?

>>18584935
>>18584834
Devoid of intellectualism? What the hell does that mean?

>>18584944
It means communists and other Jews have ensured through their "long march through the institutions" that left wing beliefs are mandatory for most academic disciplines. Intellectual output is secondary to compliance, and recently other nations are stepping in to take advantage of our crippled academic system.

The dark enlightenment fellas are undoubtedly much more interesting than any ‘intellectual’ on the left.

>>18584944
It means it's devoid of people who like spending large amounts of their time writing garbled messes of meaningless nonsense ad nauseum. Once upon a time intellectualism actually meant possessing clarity and decisiveness, but not any more.

>>18584981
>>18584944
This is why it's best to refer to oneself as an anti-intellectual, so to distance yourself from those types.

>>18584981
It’s actually not devoid of ivory tower gibberish, what you just described.
But as >>18584853 said, it’s just as rotten as the left liberal ivory tower gibberish

>>18584944
>what does absence of intellect even mean?
>HUUU? ouch! My head hurts.

Ever forced another, much younger man, to strap explosives to his body and detonate himself inside a police station? It is unbelievably erotic.
