Well, I would agree. But most people who read, read garbage genre fiction, so this really isn't some great proof of the left wing's intellectual superiority. When I ignore the pleb layer, the ratio is closer to 50:50 (though it still seems to me that the left is in the majority).

Most right wingers understand the world intuitively, logic or through experience. There are some who have a bit more intellectual lifestyles, but it's mostly leftists who write and read surrealist fantasy with giant plot holes and base their perception and judgment of the world on the bubble they live in.

Whether or not right wingers in this thread are willing to admit it, everyone has noticed this. However, there are bound to be right wingers who read. Especially on a literature board.

>>9765999
This is also true of course.

>> No.9766657

To be considered "left wing", one must generally be part of the intelligentsia.

To be considered "right wing", however, there are far fewer requirements.

The Trump-loving 80 IQ guy driving a pickup truck to his trailer in South Carolina is a "right-winger" to the left-wingers, but the naturally socialist-inclined 80 IQ single mom with three kids living in public housing in New York is not a fellow "left-winger" with them.

Thus the non-reading Trump voter gets lumped in with all right-wing minded people because he is an embarrassment, yet the non-reading Socialist remains uncategorized in the minds of left-wingers because she is an embarrassment.

That's not true at all. As somebody said already: Everybody that lived centuries ago would be considered right-wing by today's standards.
Every great classical composer, every renowned painter, every writer that lived more than a hundred years ago is "right-wing".

Anyone who isn't explicitly left wing is considered right wing by the shitlibs. I've seen the labor party of australia called a right wing party. It's hilarious how much their narrative relies on some kind of working class uprising considering how much they despise those people and vice versa. Are they banking on some kind of nonwhite uprising to destroy the government and then hand it over to them? Might as well unleash a pack of gibbons on a fruit pyramid and try to get it all back from them. You can safely ignore anyone calling themselves a "centerist" though. Those are closer to doormats than people.
