I'm sure there are many reasons. Broad categories probably include: these people participate in a literal marketplace where your values are a type of capital with which to bolster your career; they admire the ideals of 'the left' abstractly but live detached from the consequences of it due to their social position; they are aging contrarians, still clinging to when their politics were new and exciting and opposed to the mouldering values of the previous generation.

Surely you mean, "get herded into libertarian circles as the path-of-least-resistance when rejecting the college dogma."
Libertarianism is a shit ideology and the only reason college kiddies succumb to it is because it's the only "edgy" alternative given that doesn't get you kicked off campus.

>>14139687
In the 19th century, even in the early 20th century, I can see why people thought it was plausible. The unprecedented mechanization of civilization gave rise to all sorts of theories about how to engineer human society, and the intellectual legacy of the Enlightenment had already primed everyone to that kind of memery. There were people pointing out that this was all ludicrous and that nobody can systematize or properly control something as complex and multipolar as political organization, notably Carlyle, but they were very much the minority. The 'dictatorship of the proletariat' was always absurd even back then, but socialist reforms in general probably seemed possible.

Nowadays I think there is just a lot of denial going on. If the 20th century should have taught us anything it's that you can deform the shit out of organic social development but you can't actually turn it into a machine

[Anonymous No.14139782]

because universities indoctrinate students into leftist ways of thinking and views

Lots of writers of course dont go to college and idk how long universities have been leftist but I think this accounts for the fact that almost all "creatives" are liberals.

- because Jews control the publishing industry

- because the default ideology of capitalism is limp-dicked milquetoast leftover liberal "humanism," and humanists enjoy adding just a dash of genuine left-wing thought like marxism or anarchism to their fundamentally bourgeois lifestyles to spice them up, so you can easily have an entire effete bourgeois intelligentsia going to cocktail parties and going "ah yes, i'm quite the MARXIST you see" while sipping champagne like a faggot

- because if the preceding point weren't enough, leftism diluted itself internally and of its own accord in the "new left" and fordist era when a new generation of boomer FAGGOTS who had never experienced war or hardship slowly eroded its radicalism and turned it into a soft-reform big-tent FAGGOT clubhouse for organizing gay and civil rights rallies, a good humanist goal in itself but a far cry from the "WE ARE IN AN APOCALYPTIC WAR WITH CAPITALISM AND IT'S DELIVERING THE DEATHBLOW TO THE HUMAN SOUL!!!!" praxis of pre-1960s marxists

- aforementioned post-war pussy liberal bourgeois capitalist "ummm i guess history is over, let's just be nice to eachother and let FAGGOTS suck cock in peace, that's still Great Politics, right?" pseudopraxis coincided with and thus intertwined with the culture of narcissism and consumerism, a net of crowd-control algorithms that got tighter and tighter with each passing decade, so even if the FAGGOT boomers hadn't been bad enough on their own with their fecklessness, there were massive profit incentives for encouraging their natural narcissism and consumerism

- JEWS are operative at every level of the foregoing. JEWS like weak porous nations with no hegemonic culture. JEWS profit from controlling docile consumers in media, entertainment, speculation finance, academics, and general consumer industry. so if capitalist incentives and natural bourgeois effeminacy hadn't been enough, JEWS were there to plug any remaining gaps through which praxis might seep

now all these factors have intertwined, and intertwined with later emergent secondary factors, for example the fact that we're all chemically neutered from processed food and brain neutralization pills and 50 years of FAGGOT culture telling us to be effeminate homo dandy queers and the degeneration of marriage and goals confusing young men into thinking that preening themselves like a FAGGOT is a good thing. now if anyone accidentally has a real thought or his dormant will accidentally awakens from its intergenerational slumber inside his breast, that moment of nascent and merely potential individuation has to run a gauntlet of JEWISH TRICKS and FAGGOT INCITEMENTS to LAXITY

Read Burke's writings on the French revolution. Conservatives are the people who are too dumb or too smart to fall prey to alluring eutopianism, and instead make recourse to "the general bank and capital of nations and of ages" [referring to where to derive mores]

Leftism is for midwits or intelligent people who are extremely idealistic (nothing inherently wrong with that) or are cynically trying to score social points.

A bit Peterson inspired but I'd imagine writing as a skill also tracks with openness on the Big Five personality tests. That's the same trait that tends to fall on the left side of things.

But I guess the easier explanation for most on this board to accept beyond broad temperamental tendencies is for there to be a vast global conspiracy manifesting inside the publishing all because their favorite specific crypto-fascists don't hit it big in the industry and instead have to resort to self-publishing and still ending up widely consumed.

Personally I KNOW chauvinism is for insecure retards, once you realise that justice, equity, and inclusion are what's best for the populace; you will understand that fascism is at best a convenient ideology for dumb corporate autocrats and will become a BERNIEbro.

Sure, i can accept that they have higher IQ and are more intelligent (because that's what's being pushed, not because "leftism" automatically means "big brain power"). But you know what? This world isn't built, nor permeated by the "intellectuals", but by raw man power, persistence, symbols and "will". Sure you need mathematicians, physicist, engineers, doctors etc but they make up a very small amount of the pop., and their views are only amongst themselves (notice how a lot of "scientists" don't agree upon one anothers work, or downright reject it/ridicule it? That's not very mature now is it). So, a mathematician can write complex fomulas and equations for days, but that won't mean anything to me, but a symbol of a black eagle clutching thunderbolts and a sword in it's talons? A mighty warrior-king dressed in blinding gold leading his people in the name of their war God? Poetic expressions of grandure and virility? That's what keep the layman going, and that my friend is almost entirely "right wing".

FYI all those graphics are statistically misleading and fake news. They lump blacks and Mexicans into the “conservative” pile based on arbitrary questions like family, church, etc. IT IS NOT based on voting patterns and anyone with half a brain and any understanding of IQ would instantly realize that.

Cultural trend. Writers are easy preys to social trends, just like everyone else.
