I got a liberal arts degree and their doctrine is extremely heavy in the curriculum.

Not only that but the entire concept of antiracism and cultural homoginization is not to be questioned should be questioned. First of all the concept is condescending because it is essentially admitting that anglos or whites in general won the game of risk so fucking hard that they now believe they were picking on retards and are throwing round two as to pacify a child who lost at chess. Secondly, the acceptance of everyone into the anglo empire destroys their culture within 3 generations or mutates it to an unrecognizable form. What is the benefit and is anglo culture even worth this willing destruction?

I agree with him and I am not anti intellectual, and my dislike for most universities and public institutions is disdain as I am a STEMfag and have yet to find anyone that studied humanities that has actually been taught much about "facts" and actual knowledge.
The same amount of disdain goes to most of you fuckers here in /lit that actually think the world is missing out on anything of importance because they can't look inside your heads.

I wouldn't know anon, I read a lot more as a kid and did kind of fall into the "wink wink" leftism of Pratchett, Ian Banks etc but by the time I was out working and socializing with real people I was turning more rightward and once I started following politics on a local level and actually being affected by national level politics (mostly immigration and new taxes) I became fairly rightwing.
Didn't help that most of the thinkers I read and were impressed by like De Maistre made most liberal and left-leaning ones come across as brainlets on particular issues. (his essay on Constitutions had a great effect on me, I couldn't put my finger on what I felt was off about the liberal universalist thought on law prior to that)

The point of the image is that when 100 businesses are responsible for 71% of carbon emissions, it doesn't make sense to focus on consumer behavior.
It's making fun of the capitalist pig who advocates you to recycle while he keeps his plant chugging along.
But yeah it's weird that lefty people don't tend to embrace nuclear technology. It might be our bias toward a care based ethics.

Yes I know. I don't see what part of my response wouldn't indicate that and make you feel the need to explain.
Marxists, Soc Dems and Neoliberals here will push for a gas guzzler tax and then give exceptions to industry.
They push taxes to private transport like flight "joy vacations" but never even argue to do the same on industrial transports despite being the vast, vast majority of the emission here.
Nationalists even point out of ridiculous this is but mostly in their own papers because of the stigma of being against ineffective image policies of the envirocultists.
They're only loud on the energy political issue with nuclear because that's the most obviously insane one that pisses off even very moderate centrists who know about the weaknesses of solar and wind.

For me, it's the opposite. The genetic and spiritually weak need to be euthanized. People should be judged by what they provide to society. There is a class of dull, unintelligent, barely-human people who are incapable of compassion who commit crimes or leech their entire life, intermittently imprisoning and releasing them for a lifetime is unjust to both the criminal and the lawful taxpayer. The merciful solution is to euthanize these dumb people. Liberty should be earned, not given.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 13 16:46:12 2019 No.13460531 >>13460468 Oh, thanks for the context. I figure the right answer is to set emissions caps while turning to alternative energy sources and carbon capture to make up some of the difference. Not tax people on dumb shit.

Did you forget that the most infamous right-winged fascists in history happen contain many of the most influential scientists in history? Do you really take the progressivism of modern education as anything more than a passing decades-long fad? What about the research triangle of North Carolina? And do you really identify with the 'highly educated' Yale students who throw tantrums in response to staff respecting the freedom of speech of their students?
This post is possibly bait, but I respond anyway because some people actually believe this.

If this is what you think then you would be a leftist. The right's rigid social and political structures prevent the best and the brightest from rising to the top. Instead it's the people born into the right families, with the most money and the connections, who thrive. The right gives you the Habsburg jaw. The left attempts to give everyone an equal opportunity. Obviously they haven't succeeded yet, but at least they have the right goal in mind.

Yeah, I never got how ahistorical the people who are pushing that rethoric are.
Like Silicon Valley at it's height of innovation was filled with military DARPA people and people who had to wear a super-strict dress code to go to work (even well into the 90s IBM still had theirs), now it's more of a "progressive" dotcom boom cycle machine that buys up the innovative guys from elsewhere and drives it into the ground or just shutters the company and stripmines and shelves the tech.

I think reading history, philosophy, and great literature broadens the mind, and consequently, this might make a person more "left-wing" in certain respects. But I also feel like it lends itself to a more tragic view of the human condition, and in certain respects, this can make a person more "culturally conservative", for lack of a better word.

Since childhood I've had left-libertarian beliefs. People should be responsible enough to make decisions for themselves. The only difference since then is that I've seen the hopelessness of so many people in society. Laws exist to keep dumb people from hurting themselves and others. Remove the dumb from the equation and most crimes become unnecessary. The the obese, the self-gratifiers, and the lazy should be given a second chance, and the dumb and irredeemable should be put to death. There's no reason why the lives of others should be limited solely for the protection of this stupid class of people. I believe in private ownership and some element of capitalism. I also believe people who cheat the system for their own gain should be executed. Politicians should be thin people with humility, self discipline, patience and understanding, as opposed to today's obese, boisterous, pompous idiots who leech off of the taxpayer and receive lifetime pension for sitting in an office providing no good.
We have been creating rules for these dumb people for millenia in the form of religous commandments and law. For my historical curiosity, has any politician, government or religion ever had the idea to kill these people?
