How did the media, academia...

How did the media, academia, and all of that shit get to a point where they try to appeal to left wing people as much as possible? When and why did it shift so far towards liberal beliefs?

We now see in all of the new big budget movies by the big companies that get tons of cash very diverse casts. New sites also seem to be very biased towards this kind of thing. College campuses go out of their way to bring this kind of stuff up in their advertising and during college visits. It just seems like liberal ideas have completely invaded a lot of these institutions.

I mostly see people when they discuss this just bring up how this is the case. People talk about how these things are very biased towards the left, they bring up specific examples, and they mock them. But there has to be a reason why they go out of their way to seem progressive and liberal.

So when did this transition start? And more importantly, WHY do all of these types of institutions go out of their way to seem liberal? Is there some huge advantage to doing it, is its prevalence just overblown by conservatives, is there some political motivation? I have a hard time believing that all of these huge companies and industries actually care a lot about being progressive and are as stupidly biased for no reason as conservatives like to say, so I wonder what the reason for all of this is.

Because liberals rule the world.

but why is it that liberals rule the world instead of a different ideology? or do you think the dominant political belief in a corporation industry or govt is more or less random

Because liberalism is the ideology of capitalism.

I'm not too familiar with this could you elaborate on the necessary connection?

Why? Because conservatives have spent 65 years or more turning themselves into an anti-intellectual parody, many of whom who seriously want higher education in humanities done away with, that's why. Conservatives are largely opposed to facts, research, education, and art. Republican lawmakers work their asses off to oppose anything that isn't white, Xtian, middle-class, hetero, etc., bullshit. Of course universities are going to be mostly liberal: unless you're STEM, right-wingers are your fucking enemies.

It sells.
Business are more interested in profit than principled politics.

>>>/reddit/

why does this ideology sell instead of another?

Because liberalism is just repackaged Christian morality for the neurotic, nihilistic modern man.

1940s/1950s.

The non-white races gained access to white technology, specifically advanced weapons of war. Since then, the world has become stuck in a system of global, world-wide capitalism

Man's primitive nature and lust for war will never vanish from his mind. Instead of war, nations angrily wave fingers at another, knowing the other one has just as advanced weaponry. They would love to go to war, but can't.

So, we must smile and keep trading. No war anymore. We will keep trading until it destroys our environment. Once that happens, the wars will resume.


Because the modern left-wing is a base level. It attempts to bring everyone down to a base level. There are no more heroes. Winston Churchill? Lead a nation against the Nazis. But, yet, a liberal will attempt to bring him down to a base level by mentioning his faults, like his supposed racism against Indians.

Art is a base level as well.

Glory, heroes, honor, etc are offensive.

Having a diverse cast broadens your audience, which brings in more money. Nobody's going to be offended by inclusiveness, even if they suspect it's a bit artificial.

I can only assume your picture is an example of what you're explaining. If so then why is representing a vocal group (blacks) seem as pandering to the left in your eyes?

The media is information based but it's still a business. If a group demands it then they will receive representation. Again back to your Star Wars example, many black people only supported it because one of the leads was black. That support is just free money because it took nothing to provide. Nothing but make some people butt hurt.

The ghost of right wing media still haunts us.

I think a lot of people from across the political spectrum would agree that there's so much liberal agenda in movies now, and a lot is like your argument that hey there are black people on screen now! This isn't something that's really changed though (there was a period where casting got a little institutional racist around the turn of last decade, but that was a period of relative lack of diversity surrounded by quite a lot before and after).

Also consider the movie you're talking about, it has aliens and space monsters and shit so having no diversity at all in humans seems dumb af. While it employs people like Warwick to dress in a funny costume, there isn't really that much diversity in the human characters (there is some, but compare it to the original Total Recall for example and it's a bit shit), where are the midgets? Darth Vader and Luke were disabled but where are the people that can't afford fancy prosthetics and the retards and so on? It's also a highly militarized film. People may go "hey look 10 years a slave, left wing media bias!" but how many action movies are made?

That's not to say I don't like a good action movie, but fuck is it not a right wing message and narrative in nearly all of them?

this desu desu

the sheep simply seek to escape responsibility for themselves, everyone has a place in the commercial whorescape

not sure if bait or just reddit

I want Daisy Ridley to trample me

There's nothing wrong with "pandering" to blacks. I don't think anyone has a problem with black movies, based around real black history, etc.

I think the overwhelmingly glaring problem is in the "strong womyn" trope.

No time in history has a single woman ever been "strong". At least not in a super-glorified, militaristic, heroic strong.

There are rarities that are half-mixed with propaganda, like Joan of Arc and Soviet women snipers.

>tfw you can see the symmetry in racial quotas on screen
there is an inescapable artificiality there

Don't get too attached to a victim complex bro. Many right wing attitudes are the wallpaper as it were, but is that a bad thing for you? I'm guessing you identify as right.

Think about Gran Torino a few years back, ostensibly a right wing movie but holy shit if it isn't one of the most left wing things of recent years.

Is it perhaps that it's just easier to remix old ideas by making the lead a woman? That's exactly what they're doing with star wars. Granted I don't doubt that it's partly due to the studios knowing liberal archetypes will support it for other reasons. Also the producer is a woman and time has proven that they're in influential roles and will always operate with some inherent bias

I'm not saying there isn't, but I also don't assume it's then automatically left wing. Black face doesn't make you black, and a thin racial quote veneer doesn't make a movie left wing (although Star Wars isn't clearly all that political and a bit of fun imo).

>confusing liberalism with leftism
>>/pol/

first of all, you have to understand that there is a huge divide between "liberal" and "left". whereas liberals are more concerned with placating progressives and appealing to centrists by diversification efforts in mass culture and cultural/economic reforms with capitalism in tact, lefists are more concerned with critiques of capitalism and calls to replace it, and broader class struggle, from which diversification will naturally unfold, along with distribution of wealth and the dissolution of inequality.

so given this, entertainment is a medium for the masses. it's all appearances. diversification in the movie industry does nothing more but put POC on the screen while not really engaging with the discourse surrounding systemic inequality in POC communities which has its root cause in the nature of capitalism itself.

it makes white liberal americans feel good about itself for involving POC into mass culture, while deflecting the more progressive responsibility of having to critique the system responsible for keeping POC deprived and consequently keeping their lives comfortable

Large companies face economic pressure to be inclusive.
youtu.be/g6IJV_0p64s?t=7m53s

That would be >>>/USA/ if anything, it's not a /pol/ thing, although I don't agree that there has been that particular confusion there.

>POC
>deprived

first of all, the tumblr shit annoys me. and i think political correctness is a total distractor from important issues.

if you deny that african-americans have been historically deprived in the U.S., and that this history currently affects their situation you're an idiot. without question.

maybe you're white and feel this resentment towards blacks because they've finally been getting attention?

working class white are also essential to emancipatory efforts of dissolving inequality

It creates a false glory among them.

They themselves, historically, were never heroes, no matter how much they wish it were true.

Luckily, our generation has never truly experienced a true war which involves every able bodied man to participate in.


If it were the opposite, and if the men had suffered in battle while the women stayed home, I believe putting the women into fantasy combat roles would almost be insulting to the dead warriors.

Educated people are more likely to be liberal.

>((((education))))
>2016

i think it's more that "creative types" lean towards a liberal pathology

Liberals aren't leftists. You're right to suggest the media has a liberal slant, but it's nowhere near the left. Leftists don't believe in identity politics, nor capitalism. The mainstream media is all capitalistic.

Not him but it seems obvious to me. Maximize individualism to maximize consumerism. Make the world about THEM. They are worth it. And only their own property is truly theirs. The real profiteers are of course the business magnates, so they are even moreso liberal than the consumers.

I also will not complain if someone posts qt Kurds

This is like not even Zizek tier ideology. Plenty of women have become warriors, it's a cultural thing. In the west we tend to become militarized by saying "women are the protected, men are the protectors" but not everyone feels or acts like that.

The truth behind this is it's more likely that: the West is decadent, therefore more liberal.

all this right here

Progressivism was invented by a Spanish marxist. The liberal agenda is just a trick of the extreme left. Pretty genius. Might backfire.

the liberal agenda and the extreme left are COMPLETELY incompatible. are you seriously this stupid? are you really basing your claim from the fact that a Spanish marxist who you can't name is associated with progressivism (which by the way does not = liberalism)

Yes, women have become "warriors" through propaganda purposes: Amazons, shieldmadiens, joan of arc, and soviet women

Educated in what? Looking at the current curriculum offered and created by liberalism in America...I'd certainly agree your statement is true...but not at all worthwhile. It's a self propagating cycle of intellectual bankruptcy.

>denying biology

Because the left has the moral high ground.

Next question.

>the left runs the media

you're a fucking moron

>all these lefticucks itt
Where my alt-right boys at? There must be something important happening over at /pol/.

alternatively, working class whites have also been used to combat the very same emancipatory efforts. the shift of the republican party is a perfect example of this.

>moral high ground

The left just brings everyone down to a base level to a place where no one has any morals.

Now you've gone all spooky on me. Could we get even more...

WINNER

>women are not strong because of society and not because they are, in fact, biologically weaker
You are the spooked one here. A classic example, you hold "equality" over all other interests.

*a place where everyone has different morals than mine

There's certainly more liberal bias among the arts than among STEM, but not by much. Republicans in the US have taken an anti-science agenda now, so they've gone completely anti-intellectual. Maybe if you're an engineer working for the petrol industry you'll be kinda forced to keep your mouth shut.

That darky is red pilled as fuck.

Even ancient humans, when creating art, designed women to have over-exaggerated titties and asses.

Around the world, ancient cultures being their religion with an Adam and Eve figure. A male dominating the women.

In Egypt, the cum of the Gods created the world. In Greece, Zeus' raping of women created thousands of demi-gods, who gained their godlike powers from their father.

In ancient South America, the Snake God's fertility created the crops. The women goddesses were just the necessity tools of life.

Women have rarely been heroes; they are usually only important accessories to the heroes.

>Republicans are the right
I'm a part of what some people call the "alt-right" and it feels punk as fuck. It feels like an actual counter culture, or rebellion against the PC culture that dominates American colleges.

this is true, and it's depressing as shit. working class whites have been played by a corrupt businessman who will only accelerate the inequality between elite and poor, who won't get close to addressing the systemic inequality that affects both them and POC

>systemic inequality
woo boy we got a bluepill

next you're gonna lecture me on "class consciousness"

they're looking to establish new markets based on appealing to 'identity'

actual leftists are beyond this, liberals are just making capitalism work for themselves

>if its not democratic socialist, then its inequality.


The economy of the USA boomed from 1880-1960, and it was mostly in part due to elite businessman creating more jobs for everyone, not the government.

Literally every culture, the thousands that have ever existed on this Earth, over-emphasize the masculine and feminine. When this is done, it's always the males dominating the battlefield. Always.

J. J. Abhrams is so short and jewish looking it's almost comical

it really makes sense of things though

if you're serious, you do understand that the "alt-right" is probably the least punk thing you could subscribe to right?

it only feels rebellious because for seemingly the longest time conservatives and right wingers have been the more uptight ones, the ones trying to maintain order. now it seems liberals are more concerned with this over-policing of behavior.

the alt-right isn't disruptive. it's retarded, and it garners most of its support from men that are self-conscious about their masculinity, capitalists that are too stupid to realize capitalism is not sustainable, and racists that have this dramatic and romanticized ideal of the glory of whiteness (while consequently not amounting to anything in their personal lives and not contributing in any way to their culture)

there is nothing disruptive about belonging to a general inclination of thought which is totally reactive while still being dominated by the existing power structure

Oy vey, he's white not Jewish you anti-Semite!

I knew you would mention "but muh great Depression"

By the early 1900s, NYC became the financial capital of the world, and before that, in the previous 100 years, the USA went from minor power to global super power.


Already before the Great Depression, the USA was the world's dominate economic body.

It's a natural result of liberalism and its consequent damage to a nation's demography. Why limit your market to specific cultural groups when you can make much more money selling mass consumable, all-inclusive slop that appeals to your growing minority population? Couple the need for profit with the threats from neopuritan progressives, cultural myths that emphasize egalitarianism and democracy over quality distinction, and the creative class' proposensity toward sanctimony and mental disorder, and you'll realize the end product was more or less inevitable

Media/academia has always [outside of periods of censorship] tended to attract outsiders to some degree, people who hold viewpoints that directly correspond to the general public just don't go into those fields as much. idk maybe socialist realism is the answer to your problem

The only thing that got the system going again was the massive amount of forced planned investments in fixed-capital during war production during WWII, America has been practically a centrally planned warfare economy ever since

i'm sure you're very proud of your personal responsibility to beat off 5 times a day

>muh virgin argument
Sure feels like reddit in here

But what's the problem with that? Liberalism is objectively correct.

Listen here you little shit

Uh...no. By WW1, the USA was already the world's economic powerhouse. The rewards of WW2 just accelerated it to new heights.

if letting my black friend fuck you in the ass makes me a cuck, then i guess i'm a cuck.

desu i don't get on here much, and was generally curious about this alt-right mentality because i think it's the dumbest shit

also why can't the right produce any other joke beside the liberal tears joke? or really any joke that's funny at all?

Actually read Stirner bro.

It's a particularly semitic thing to emphasize masculine and feminine. That imagery is important to the Bible. Prior to that dominating everything, many European languages didn't even use masculine or feminine much of anything. In old Germanic languages man meant person, man with a willy was a wereman (werewolf, see?) and a man with a vagina that could probs make babby was a wifman (like wife, and that became woman). Most declensions were also based around animate properties rather than gender.

I know /pol/ are all like *le meme jew* or whatever, but this is very much a case of you just accepting the sex/gender Jew.

You were nearly bankrupt from the end of the 18th C, still through the civil war, and even just prior to WWI you were the world's biggest debtor.

You are either severely retarded or haven't read Stirner. Again, go back to /r/communism.

You can't make this shit up

The growth was so quick and so large and the resources so plentiful that, despite blimps and depression, the wealth still grew.

The USA was built for making money.

>Adam Smith predicted in The Wealth of Nations (1776) that if given representation in Parliament, in a century the Thirteen Colonies would become the center of the British Empire.


There's a graph right above your post.

Wait, are you saying "you don't know Stirner, therefore go to this left wing place"?

You know Stirner was left af right?

man, you must be the same person that posted the reddit pic. is that you all have? referencing other internet boards only you would have an understanding of, as an active member of online communities?

Holy shit you are actually retarded

Talking about the media and movies and partisan politics is not literature. Please kindly fuck right off.

Well, you're obviously a redditor. Why not go back?

Then why is leftism associated with socialism/communism so much? How do you explain Bernie Sanders?

>Adam Smith predicted in The Wealth of Nations (1776) that if given representation in Parliament, in a century the Thirteen Colonies would become the center of the British Empire.
That's about the move from tropical to temperate farming being profitable. Canada and the US were considered shitty junk land for a long time, the real prizes were thought to be where they grew sugar cane, tobacco and so on, so the West Indes, Caribbean, S America etc.

You can compare it to the decline of spice crops. This is also why so many 18th C novels like Robinson Crusoe go on about finding your fortune through plantations.
