If the far-left is wrong about virtually everything, then why are so many intelligent people in the far left? This question rarely leaves my mind. Don't get me wrong, I know for a fact that universities are left-wing so it's no surprise that a lot of people find themselves on the left when they graduate. But really, if they're so full of shit, then why do so many intelligent people fall for it? Sure, you could argue that they've just been indoctrinated and locked in an echo-chamber, but wouldn't they say almost the same thing about us?
Ultimately, this has given me no choice. I must learn the way of the far-left. But how can I do it? I highly doubt that the low-hanging fruit that Jow Forums and the e-celebs go after is representative of the far left in general (don't believe me? Go down the opposite path and watch a video of the far left arguing against us, it'll be nothing but lies), but beyond doing dumb shit like watching HBomberguy I've got little to no ideas.
People with real intelligence reject the retarded left/right dichotomy.

I think it comes down to personality differences, not intelligence. I've been to several RESIST and anti-Trump, anti-male, anti-Nazi, etc... meetings on my campus and you see a good portion of adults and professors there. These are intelligent people who can carry on intelligence conversations; just as intelligent as people on the right.
Intelligence and success is very closely linked. And success (e.g. credit rating and income) are extremely tightly linked to voting right wing.
A few dykes and kikes in unis jerking each other off about what subtleties they can extract from a 60 year old irrelevant book on how many milllion subgenders there are is not intelligent.

If you were to look at a chart of the IQs of the right wing vs the left wing. The left wing would probably be more centered around mostly people with IQs of 95-110. Then the right would cluster more towards low IQs and high IQs. Because you have redneck retards, then you actually have people who think like Nietzsche or racial realists.

You are victim of the propoganda. Right wingers constantly make an image of degenerative left, concentrate media attention on freaks (like redfems). Make them look unpleasant and stupid. Reallity is different.

Samuel Bell
You have to think like the bourgeois. Ex.- We know that immigrants are harmful to a country, but where are they harmful? Only to the areas that they occupy (poor to lower-middle areas). If you don’t live near them, then they are just cheap labor and votes.
Wyatt Wright
You seem to be forgetting that the majority of professors only teach because they want to do research at the University.

If you want to be a regular lefty and not a bourgeois lefty, all you have to do is go with the flow. Go to their meetings and cheer when they cheer, boo when they boo. You’ll pick up on lingo and rally points just like on pol.

Rules for Radicals gives you some insight into how their brains work.
The leftist way of life sounds nice; everybody equal, everything free, peace, caring, etc etc. That’s why intelligent people fall for it when they’re young. Because it’d be an ideal world for an intelligent person to inhabit. But there’s a reason that so many who were leftists when they were young switch more and more to the right as they get older and wiser. It’s simply unworkable. For everyone to be treated equal requires everyone to act equal. It goes against human nature. Everyone’s different. We all need to be out for ourselves and only the strong and capable will survive and reproduce. Imagine what would happen to all the niggers and sandpeople in the west if all their gibs were suddenly cut off. They’d probably mostly die. They’re weak and incapable. That’s why they’ll never be our equals. Only an idealistic fool would think otherwise. Real world experience teaches you this, not university.
Lincoln Diaz
Intelligent conservatives actually, you know, go into the world and do stuff, make businesses etc. ‘Intelligent liberals’ just sit in academia because it’s the only place their ideas ‘work’ i.e. their dumb abstractions can earn them money. They can’t put them into practise, unlike the conservative
Liam Bennett
This is true. When I was in college over 10 years ago, your papers had to reflect left wing ideas of going green and diversity ect. Or else you were failing. simple as that. I caught on quick.
Nolan Fisher
I doubt that the university students think like that.
University students and staff.
Kayden Taylor
All the lefties I know are completely close minded.
Nathan Rogers
It's not intelligence, it's lack of a warrior spirit. The thought of war, warfare, firearms, weapons -- causes lefties to shit themselves in fear. They want a world where peace is everywhere, and everyone magically gets along. It's fear that drives their ideology, not intelligence.
Alexander Jackson
OP, some ideas are so stupid you have to be a genius to understand them. In this case the Far Left Genius believes he will exploit his superior intelligence to gain social standing and power once radical changes are enacted. Virtue signaling is just a means to an end.
Alexander Diaz
education != intelligence

The university intellectuals also play an important role in carrying out the System's trick. Though they like to fancy themselves independent thinkers, the intellectuals are (allowing for individual exceptions) the most oversocialized, the most conformist, the tamest and most domesticated, the most pampered, dependent, and spineless group in America today. As a result, their impulse to rebel is particularly strong. But, because they are incapable of independent thought, real rebellion is impossible for them. Consequently they are suckers for the System's trick, which allows them to irritate people and enjoy the illusion of rebelling without ever having to challenge the System's basic values.
Because they are the teachers of young people, the university intellectuals are in a position to help the System play its trick on the young, which they do by steering young people's rebellious impulses toward the standard, stereotyped targets: racism, colonialism, women's issues, etc. Young people who are not college students learn through the media, or through personal contact, of the "social justice" issues for which students rebel, and they imitate the students. Thus a youth culture develops in which there is a stereotyped mode of rebellion that spreads through imitation of peers—just as hairstyles, clothing styles, and other fads spread through imitation.

Noah Adams
Intelligence is just a tool, user. It's entirely possible to use a good sophisticated tool and still fail at a given task if the tool is not well suited to the task ( however advanced the tool is in itself), if you lack proper information of the task at hand ( think about politics and life experience) or if your measurments are wrong ( think lack of world knowledge) or for many other reasons we might think of. There are also other tools one may employ when trying to understand the world: for example what we loosely call " wisdom". And we all will use the tools we have available according to our personality. Powerful tools will evrn lead to hugely negative effects when used by the wrong personality. Think reckless behavior and a formula 1 car.

Highly intelligent people are driven into highly specialized careers, and therefore, depend on 'the collective' for survival much more so than the typical K-selected individual.
Jacob Taylor
Unfortunately, intelligence is often acompanied by hubris, which is a staple of leftist thinking, quite frankly I think that leftist often can't even concieve the possibility of being wrong, which, in this case, they certainly are.
