Why are feds overwhelmingly pro left?

[ZazietheBeast]

Two things. Long March to the institutions, (as Bezmenov warned) and the fact most of them are doing it for the paycheck and benefits.

One more thing to factor is that there is a hidden calcified power structure in the government and everyone there simply doesn't want to cross that.

The left made an active attempt to work through and inhabit the federal bureaucracy. The right abandoned many institutions (education and government) to focus entirely on private industry. Of course, as the left accumulated power, they began to force private industry to bend to their will lest they get bogged down in lawsuits, fines, etc. Ray Charles could have seen that coming.

Funny enough, the religious right has spent nearly 50 years on overturning Roe v. Wade and they’re about to get it, meanwhile conservatives bank on multidimensional chessmastering and triple bank shots to get their way and has a current success rate of zero. It’s almost like you have to put in the work instead of relying on personalities to get the job done.

Because the US is a leftist regime. Duh.

I dunno why people are overlooking this. In previous eras the glowies were overwhelmingly right wing because the sitting governments tended to be more on the conservative side.

Glowies work for the government. They're going to parrot whatever the ruling party tells them to, regardless of what they actually believe. Conservatives were extremely friendly to the glowies when we were fighting communism and had weak post-colonial left-wing countries to knock over and take control of with corporate dictatorships. They spied on gays, leftist activists and other such deviants because the sitting conservative government gave them money to do so.

These days, glowies are left wing because the government is left wing. They spy on conservative activists and spread left wing propaganda across the internet because that's what the government is interested in paying them to do. Glowies aren't really left or right wing, because at the end of the day the only thing a glowie really believes in is getting paid (or, more accurately, getting their cut of the spoils) and they'll tell you anything you want to hear to keep it that way.

Every federal institution of America can best be understood as a battlefield of true believers fighting and losing against a hidden cabal of reformists trying to bring progress and libertinism to the institution and workplace. In a declining system of foolish imperialism and greed, only the foolish imperialist or the subversive joins the FBI or the CIA, there is otherwise no honor in doing so anymore. The cold war is over, and so only the maintenance of empire gives these groups purpose and goals. The subversive is just another type of fool who is trying to better the workplace for the employees or the institution for the greater good.

​

It becomes inevitable generationally that this rot sets in; the technological changes, the geopolitical reality the state finds itself in, and the infantilized urban population who can survive but never get ahead cause the social fabric to stretch and rip what it used to cover easily. People get stressed and it sets in that their future is not going to be romantic or heroic, and where the mid-life crisis sets in now the late teens reinvent their identities to try and figure out some perspective that lets them be happy. The result is that any part of society that isn't hyper-political and Right-leaning becomes filled with leftism.

​

Ultimately you can only hope to blend into a professional social environment where unceasing leftist attacks against your field of knowledge keep your space clean of the mind virus that floods everything in successful societies. Everyone seems to be just a fast-food eating slob who cannot get or keep a marriage. The constant attacks on your group keeps everyone alert against leftism and the terribly unhappy people who dump their stress on everyone around them. However the FBI and the CIA have no-one else to recruit this far past the tipping point, they're the enemy of most of America at this point demographically. The rot of federal government is just too obvious that only the subversive can take the leftism and only the foolish imperialist can't see it for their goal of ruling an institutional fiefdom.

​

TL;DR: only ladder-climbers and leftists join the federal government now because everyone else is a low-key enemy/rival of the federal government, and the ladder-climbers are going to pretend to be leftists if that helps them advance through the system and live in the whitest ZIP codes away from Blacks.

 

[Corpun]

It's not that they are leftist, it's that they serve the existing powerbase in order to keep existing and get funding. Every glowing agency functions this way. They suck up to the political establishment, particularly the ones with the most power for money and prestige while lying off their asses and bullshitting about stuff in order to get more money.

 

[Bum Driller]

You live in the most conservative, right-wing country in the whole Western world, one that doesn't even have a single consequential political party that could be plausible categorized as being in the "left", and you are really asking why your goverment is filled with "leftists". This is too stupid to be real.

American "leftists" aren't in the left. They are center-right at best, and usually even more to the right, if compared to real leftists that the world has to offer.

Americans have no left.

The ''Pro LGBT'', '' Kill Whitey'' and ''cancel culture'' movements aren't even coming from Politicians. Though some politicians pander to these movements for votes. Democrats in the USA are still center right. Hey, if the USA had such a super powerful ''Left'' why was it so easy to get abortion banned in multiple states by their supreme court?

Edit: Many Democrat politicians have covert anti-abortion views just so you know.

 

[Meat Target]

The Right clutched the pearls of "muh small gubbmint" while the Left conducted a Long March through the institutions.

Thankfully, more conservatives are realizing that "muh principles" do no good against opponents whose only goal is to put a bullet in your head and take your kids as sex slaves.

 

[Lord Neeba]

Because you have to be highly educated to get those jobs, and universities are overwhelmingly left-leaning. The stupidist thing the American right ever did was declare that academia and the arts weren't real jobs so they didn't need to bother trying to oppose the complete takeover of cultural institutions and higher education by the left.

 

[Michael Janke]

the feds aren't pro left, they're pro government boot licking.
remember after 9/11 how many FBI agents were infiltrating Mosques and instigating lonely young men into doing terrorists plots, then arresting them and wanting a medal for it.
imagine if the fire department started their own fires, put them out and demanded a medal and applause for it.

 

[The Ugly One]

90-95% of Republicans are controlled opposition. The vast majority of them are a sockpuppet that only exists to be ineffectual villains in this circus act we call political theater. They are only allowed to win in order to make the voters feel like they changed something, and once in power do nothing. It's 50/50 on whether Trump himself is controlled op as well or just an impotent boomer way out of his depth.

The vast majority of them are in fact as dumb as they appear to be. The "controlled opposition" theory is partially true, but the reason Republicans are easy to control is they're so fucking stupid. If you tell a Republican that keeping his gonads is "big government," he will smugly hand you his balls in a jar.

Americans have no left.

the left doesn't exist in America because there are still places where they haven't managed to become a voting majority, very smart point.

It would be more accurate to say America has no right-wing party. We have a center-liberal and a left-liberal party.

You claiming that America isn't left-wing because states in the South are more conservative is doing the equivalent of claiming that Europe is an incredibly conservative region because places like Hungary and Poland exist. If you compare the extremely liberal states like California and Oregon to most European nations, they'd easily blow most of them out of the water when it comes to how "woke" they are.

Whenever you see some batshit "woke" shit enter the public sphere, it was almost always initially dreamed up by an American, usually one from California.

A fundie called me a Liberal while every SJW out there call me a Nazi, help me I'm confused.

Ok but in all seriousness this is the best take in the entire thread. Mutts should visit Europe sometimes and get away from their bullshit politics.

 

[thrasymachus]

The US doesn't have a traditional left or right. Well you have a few crazy commies and antifa punks and Christian traditionalists, but they don't count for a whole lot, except window dressing and making people upset.

The vast majority of American right wing politics comes from the liberal tradition. They believe in the free market and the free marketplace of ideas.

There seems to be a segment of the educated class that supports "progressivism" but I wouldn't call the blue haired SJWs, trannies and white people who take the knee for BLM left wing. More likely they're just sad losers who want to virtue signal, while marching lock step with the oligarchy who tells them how to think. California for instance is not a left wing paradise, it's a place with lots of homeless people and billlionaires and powerful corporations, a huge divide between rich and poor. Most "left wing" politicians just play a game of pretend.

Neoconservatives in the south and fly over states don't understand Neoliberal's. I'd argue that most of the southern states are not under neoliberalism and don't understand it. California has troons, blue haired SJW's etc, but it has a dog eat dog economic culture that's foreign to people in the south. Giving way to the extreme manifestations of inequality.

It used to be the other way around. Give it a few decades and the tide will change again.

America has a left. What we don't have is a right, which was traditionally based around opposition to the French Revolution. Everything since has been a fight within the American left between the classical liberals (American "conservatives") and progressive liberals.

It used to be the other way around. Give it a few decades and the tide will change again.

It used to be the other way because the right actually had a presence in academia and cultural institutions and so played some role in shaping the elite. That is no longer the case.

Even Hungary and Poland are in certain aspects faaaar more to the left than anything you've in USA. Seriously, your most "leftist" politicians wouldn't be considered as leftists in the Europe. And compared to many European right-wing parties your Democrats are extremely right-wing.

Basically all of Europe has public schools, public hospitals, public roads, public universities and strong labor unions. Most countries have national broadcasting corporations funded by taxpayers. Abortion is legal basically everywhere(Malta being the exception). Most countries have strong wellfare policies and national pension plans. That is what I mean by saying that you don't have a fucking clue when you claim that USA would be somehow "leftist". This is what real leftist policies look like.

Yeah, you've got yanks thinking Australia is 'socialist', it's utterly wild.
