Why are you expected to be left leaning when living the literary lifestyle?

I mean, I guess they do. Or maybe liberals just have psychological predispositions for the "literary lifestyle".

It's actually starting to become the opposite, oddly enough. Liberals are getting prudish as hell, while the conservatives are the ones having fun

As an example of , see peopel whining like nuts about /pol/

this is a thread about american politics

how is it not /pol/

shoo shoo

Constantly fearing the death of western civilization doesn't sound like having fun, desu

Depends on whether you're the shut-in Veeky Forums user type of conservative or the kind that's just out making money and getting laid.

People living the literary lifestyle are usually intellectually proficient and thus expect high social status and financial superiority, but usually achieve neither.
Feeling penalized, they blame the capitalist system and subsequently advocate for government-issued redistribution of wealth.

>I'm a special snowflake and much smarter than everyone else and my ideas are better because I'm right about everything because I say so, so I should get more money than other people

Delusions of leftistcucks

>be insane right wing guy
>hang out with lots of left wing girls
>have weird obsession with saying seemingly horrifying things but then burying them under so many qualifications and jargony citations that the girls are not sure whether they should yell at you or not
>hung out with a qt tumblrina yesterday and basically told her I think Rudyard Kipling was right about everything, but then threw an equivocation soup on her face faster than she could keep up with it
>she replied with "Yeah, I can see that! Context is very important"

It is fairly well documented that conservatives are on average dumber than progressives.

Daily reminder that the Unabomber was right about progressives.

>getting laid
But that is degenerate

Not if it's with little boys.

Care to give an example?

>t. Faggot pedophile

the modern elite are usually self absorbed morons tho. So much for the natural aristocracy. what will you do when it's time for these guys to exercise the Droit du Seigneur and literally cuck you?

Because educated (literary) people tend to see cosmopolitanism as the truth, possibly because their education teaches them new points of view and expands their capabilities for empathy.

Uneducated people trend towards tribalism, caring primarily for their own community's people and traditions.

He gave an example.

Women are dumb whores who parrot whatever's the doxa of the day.

>have fun

Lol, no.
The left is now the "no fun zone." Punk bands who should be drinking cheap beer underage and raging against the system now just stand on stage and lecture the audience about how bad it is to say things that might offend someone. Even video games, movies, and toys; entire industries are under scrutiny that attempts to pigeonhole them into a politically correct narrative.
The only difference between them and their conservative parents, was that at least their parents had values and morals that lead to a successful life one could be proud of, rather than bottomless pandering that leads to a life of sad, lonely mediocrity.

mfw this is true :(

>Punk bands who should be drinking cheap beer underage and raging against the system now just stand on stage and lecture the audience about how bad it is to say things that might offend someone
Care to give out some examples or did you just make that up?

Censorship is a conservative idea. The left is just momentarily confused because they're having to bring more people into the fold of their ideology who don't quite "get it."

Daily reminder that you clearly haven't read his journals if you think he was a conservative by today's standards.

Censorship is a human idea practiced throughout history by all ideologies. Right now, the left is the primary culprit in the West (though the right absolutely tries to censor as well).

Because you need welfare to survive.

Have this as an example as to why the left is a "no fun allowed" faction

>hahaha I love comedy
>omg this is ignorant, delete this, absolutely haram

Okay, so you did make that up, I see.

Go to bed, Sam

>The left is now the "no fun zone."
I'm pretty sure it's fun for everyone as long as you are not trying to prevent other people from having fun, but I understand how the former fits the whole narrative of persecution conservatives have recently developed now that they can no longer do it.

>it needs to be a punk band specifically or else you lose this arguement

>x happens
>can you show me an example of x actually happening
>time to sperg out about internet arguments
Okay. Guess the guy who talked earlier about conservatives being dumber was correct.

Leftists are constantly upset about stand-up comedians making jokes about [insert 'targeted' group here] because jokes, apparantly, hurt feelings.

Do you people even notice what you do on a daily basis?
It's not because you watch that Britcuck and laugh at "le dumb white men" that you're a fun gang of people.
Your jokes suck. Your memes are shit tier.

Again, not what I was asking about.

99% of stand-up comedians are "lefties."

>Leftists are constantly upset about stand-up comedians making jokes about [insert 'targeted' group here] because jokes, apparantly, hurt feelings.

Nope, that would be rightwingers. You embarrassing asshat.

stubbornness is not a virtue

youtube.com/watch?v=Bq8rMUQVEnI

I'm just gonna show you shit that's not punk bands lecturing people on trigger warnings, but shit that demonstrates the left hates jokes.

I'm pretty sure right wingers don't wanna ban that thing you guys call "hate speech".

Didn't say he was, guy.

>"it's just a prank bro" is racist

Ok I'm done with this world.

Proof?

Those Trigglypuff types are all about fun and free speech.

So, you actually can't give an example of what you described. Ok.
Also, is the guy in that video supposed to be funny?

Yeah, that's why it's such a big deal. Of course people are going to get mad to some degree at people who get on stage and make fun of their viewpoints, but firmly progressive comedians who just fall down on the preaching get booed and such for saying mean things as part of their acts.

Chris Rock, a progressive black guy, no longer performs at universities for this reason.

Staying coherent is though.
Knock yourself out if your cognitive dissonance is so over the top that you can actually believe that.

After all when you google 'conservative comedy' you get so many amazing results, right?

Loads of comedians in the US are libertarians. Look at Stanhope.

>inb4 I don't like that guy, therefore he isn't comedy, nice try dumb faux news right winger ;)

"libertarian" conservative

Yes, it's quite hilarious.

>Punk bands who should be drinking cheap beer underage and raging against the system now just stand on stage and lecture the audience about how bad it is to say things that might offend someone.
I've actually seen this. Pretty cringy stuff, really.

There has to be a balance between the left wing being immature and overly aggressive & the left wing being immature and passive-aggressive. It's been both of those things multiple times throughout history, and I can't tell which is worse. I've experienced the passive-aggressive left wing (and have been part of it for a short time) and I don't think it's going to last much longer. When the trust funds run out, most of these people will be poor because of the policies they advocate and we'll be back in the revolutionary age again. Prepare for a bunch of shitty Dead Kennedys ripoffs.

Stanhope endorsed Sanders in the elections.

Are we gonna split hairs here you fucking faggot?
Stanhope and his gang of folks are right wing libertarians.

Yeah, a super right wing guy.

That's strange, because even Joe Rogan doesn't support Sanders and he's far less a libertarian than Stanhope is.

Stanhope is a Bernie supporter, you epic dumbfuck.

Now that I think about it, almost all stand-up comedians hate abortion rights, are against gay marriage, etc.

Nick DiPaolo may be the only liberal guy left standing.

You have an interesting sense of humor.

And loves the writings of Milton Friedman.

I guess the alcohol is taking its toll real hard.

Yeah, it's called being pro-free speech and then seeing people exit the room in a "delete this"-manner as soon as they hear homophobic shit being uttered.
The effects are hilarious to see, yes.

I wonder if they'd do the same if some brown fuck entered the building and started going on a similar rant in the name of islam ( not real islam of course, you guys seem to have the theology down more than Abu Bakr al Baghdadi ).
They'd probably be more accomodating. Stay put. Not agree, but hope the poor man sees his mistakes sometime soon.

>ameriburger thinks that just because somebody supports laissez faire economics he is a conservative
This is a pretty neat example of just how stupid people get under a two party system.

Because you have to open your mind up to more than biblical texts.

That was only a meta-example, I'm talking about an actual one, with actual words that he used.

I love it when people confuse anger, humor and passion.

That's hilarious, to me.

>They'd probably be more accommodating.
Again, any examples of brown comedians preaching hate towards gays or whatnot and leftists laughing? I see that you guys are pretty good at coming up with this stuff.

inb4 another set of links to outraged literallywhos on youtube

A gentle reminder that arbitrary markers and labels like "left" and "right" are the telltale signs of mentally underdeveloped /pol/-think, please ignore the threads and move on.

Pissing people off is funny to you? As I said, you have a interesting sense of humor.
(Ok, I honestly don't even know how these comedians work. Do they all insert politics into humor? What is even their purpose?)

Pissing people off is very funny.
Ever did any pranks in your day?

>seeing people exit the room in a "delete this"-manner

Sorry for intruding your safe space.

I'm glad the discussion of this shitty post didn't become even shittier ;)

The answer OP is that you are living a one dimensional world, where people are categorized by the surface of who they are.

Reading is beloved by everyone. All kinds of reading too.

You ought to read more OP, and read whatever you want.

This. And everyone who is well educated and travelled should be cosmopolitan in some level.

>people with disposable income and well-off parents are cosmopolitan

The champions of the proletariat, everyone.

After months of travelling through Asia I became even more nationalist and saw the advantages of a mostly ethnically homogeneous society.
I also saw their social and economic model, which Slovene neanderthals claim to be dystopic, being near ideal.

The whole idea that everyone arrives at the same conclusion when being educated, or experiencing this or that is something only a head-up-their-own-ass smug faglord could make.

Which developing country do you live in if you can't travel and get educated if your parents were a part of the working class?

No, user, I haven't done any serious pranks, as far as I remember. Although, I've definitely heard people retell pranks, and they sounded much funnier than a guy coming up before an audience and then talking about his opinions and arguments in a provocative manner.

Ok collectivist-kun.

>the advantages of a mostly ethnically homogeneous society.
I live in a shitty homogenous slavic country, please tell me those advantages.

Netherlands.
It's not so much that I can't travel, but definitely not travel as much or as long as I like.
I did for a while, but after that I was broke, while all the other authenticity chasing bourgeois backpackers kept on going because Dad's bank account was always available for the next flight.

Yes, I'm jelly. Fund my hedonism, Sanders.

>have these new interesting ideas, think outside the box etc etc
No they don't

>leftism wrecked my country almost beyond repair

No surprise there.

Their post wasn't even /pol/-tier tho. What did they say that was wrong?

>I don't think it's funny so it's not comedy

The leftist church has spoken.

Hi Gavin. Hows the alcoholism?

I sympathize with your dire living situation.

Because you're expected to read/be-literate.

That's liberals

10 points to anti-progressivism!

Because you fell for Jean-Jacques' meme you fool

I never said they do, but they kind of have this image of having them.

>>I don't think it's funny so it's not comedy
I never said this.

>>leftism wrecked my country almost beyond repair
I never said this, you haven't answered my question, and my country is actually pretty conservative.

Dipaolo's such a fucking commie Social Justice Wuss, I'm so sick of his horseshit. Always on about the media being too soft on white men.

Libertarians won,social and economic (neo)liberalism is now the establishment. The pot smoking kids who once swelled their ranks are either turning to socialism or becoming alt-right skinheads
