Why have English majors become so liberal?

>the people who formed the backbone of the country and virtually built it from the ground up want to conserve it from renewable energy

>implying proles care about renewable energy

They just want reasonable electricity prices

Sjw's
Now fuck off

>become
They were conservative before?

Because it has been infected by SJWism. It's like a disease really.

They're not allowed to talk about human biodiversity in college anymore. As soon as you bring racial differences into the discussion the entire liberal worldview falls apart.

Do you seriously expect them to consider race realism or whatever? Most people outside of the humanities would not even accept such a thought.

because when u say "i'm a socialist" (even if u never read marx) you get free "intellectual card" to shove up in the ass of dumb university friends

Well if they believe that all human beings on earth are the same, the only explanation they can come up with for unequal achievement is oppression. This is why everyone in the humanities is marxist

Not him, but in my experience i've heard people saying that theres "no such thing as races, we're the human race, bla bla bla, its science!!!!"
i have no idea what are their sources

You can also just say that they have different cultures that value different things.

you don't mean liberal, you mean authoritarian. they're antonyms. if they were liberal, you wouldn't be complaining about shit

"Renewable energy", do you want the Chinese/Africans building everything instead of us? Doesn't make it any better.

They haven't, just the study of English tends to educate students to analyse books with respect to socio-political issues/themes more than was previously the case. I don't agree with everything Harold Bloom says, but his interview with Charlie Rose in which he talks about the retreat of aestheticism in academia is spot on.

It's easier to do that than to really dig deep into the style and substance of a book that's obviously saying more than "gee, wasn't colonialism bad, guys?".

English students have become far more pseudo-liberal, I give you that, but most of the ones I know are getting really fed up with it. Perhaps even more so than anyone else, since it's their field that's being degraded.

Yeah it's not really science, it's indeed more of a presupposition on which their worldview is predicated.

Anyways, if you want to compare IQ and shit the differences between members of the group is still much greater than between the groups. So the average might differ but that does not say much about the rest of the population. But it does mean that some groups will be overrepresented at the outliers of the normal distribution. Hence the overrepresentation of jews as Nobel price winners, top positions etc. Same goes for whites compared to blacks btw.

You could, but then that leads them to conclude that the dominant culture is oppressive and it needs to be overturned and corrected. Either way, they think that an unequal outcome in achievement is due to oppression.

That's one hell of a fucking non-sequitur, kiddo.

Academia was in the past, yes. But Academia actually used to be respectable back then too.

Yeah that's because they are politically and thus mentally fucked up. Anyways, you can answer them that is that they are being white-centric or whatever in suggesting that the most important thing is climbing the socio-economic hierarchy. Maybe other stuff is more important for other cultures. They are cultural relativists no

English degrees are useless and are sought after by people who have no interest in hard work and will be taken care of financially regardless of what they do.

People as such in ideal situations tend to develop progressive viewpoints as they've never had to analyze how the world works and think that everyone holding everyone's hand and smiling at one another will fix the world.

What?

That's just false tho

I don't understand why they hail "equality" as such a value, and "inequality" as such an evil.

this. People who major in humanities/liberal arts degrees instead of something math/science/computer science/engineering etc. related are just fucking lazy and/or too stupid to succeed at real education.

You can't get a real job with a degree like that.

>they just want reasonable electricity prices

Pretty sure conservative politicians don't give a shit about reasonable electricity prices. They only care about their marketing version of 50 years ago, and "muh small government". Republican politicians have been in the news the past week already talking about how their replacement for the ACA may not be able to cover all of the people currently getting healthcare through the ACA, and their spin is "but they choose not to get healthcare because of the market!".

I bet proles want affordable healthcare, but got tricked into thinking the republicans were going to give it to them somehow.

>STEM degrees are the only education that will get you a job

Maybe in America

Correction: America and its little cousin, the UK.

Pew Research Center

Please cite examples of student reactionary/conservative movements.

The only example I can think of is Iran in 79, and that was arguably revolutionary and against an entrenched monarchy.

Most universities where pretty conservative when they were made up of aristocrats. Look at Germany from the imperial period to around the 60s and they were pretty conservative desu.
