yeah I hope he's not that handicapped, otherwise he'd have to tell me with a straight face that people who write stuff like how glaciers are loveist are actually intelligent (not saying all leftists; he was replying to my post about radical leftists so I assume that's what he's talking about)

if youre in academia the means of learning about socioeconomics n whatnot are already in proximity (most schools have sociologists/anthropologists/social psychologists/whatever) and youve already demonstrated a willingness to, like, absorb information and let it inform your worldview. of course i believe being liberal/to the left of that is often informed by statistics, studies and evidence. otherwise i wouldn't hold this political position. so it's not a crazy assertion that learning things tends to shift people to the left.
that doesn't mean there aren't uninformed liberals or liberals whose beliefs aren't based on much.
"leftist" was actually probably the wrong term to use in my original because i consider liberals to be centrists and "liberal" is about as far as most people in academia go. nevertheless there is definitely a shift to the left in academia

ah yes i remember marx's extensive theses on cloudgender
there aren't a discrete number of genders, gender is a spectrum of masculine / feminine expression. most people are on either end and can just call themselves a man/woman. this isn't that complicated nor is it opposed by biology / psychology as far as i can tell

i dont even know what the forget this means. would it surprise you that cornucopia of poe / troll / psychotic stuff you see on /r/TumblrInAction has very little to do with actually being a leftist? read a forgetin book

you and i seem to have very different definitions of 'radical leftist'. radical feminists and otherkin on tumblr aren't the "radical left"

i guess that could make sense, tho i'm sure there's been an actual professional study on this phenomenon. it'd be interesting to read up on it; what i've heard is just saying that it's cus most college professors are left-leaning but that'd require more data to prove and then it'd just raise more questions

As someone in a university, SJW's are absolutly not the smartest people on campus. In fact, speaking from a politically neutral point, this is one of the single most handicapped things said in this thread. Like, this is dumber than a lot of the stuff master matthew says.
