They're not. You consume corporate propaganda targeting midwits who peddle whatever opinions they associate with intelligence. No legitimate scientist is "left-leaning".

Academic scientists have high levels of cognitive sophistication so to the right, they appear left by comparison.
"Low levels of cognitive sophistication may lead people to embrace simple cognitive shortcuts, like stereotypes and prejudices that were amplified by the Trump campaign. Additionally, the simple linguistic style presented by Trump may have appealed to voters with limited education and cognitive sophistication. Beginning with [T.W.] Adorno's classic study of the authoritarian personality, empirical works have linked low levels of cognitive sophistication with right-wing orientations.... "

all periods of human history are dominated by certain kinds of thought. now the dominant thought is very leftist, even conservatives and most right wingers are dominated by that. most right wing politicians argue for their economic views by saying how they help the workers, empower minorities, etc. you almost never see a right wing politician say that people are not equal and some people are simply worth and deserve less

Refusing to read the study is a cognitive shortcut. Attacking the person providing you with facts you disagree with is another cognitive shortcut. All of this, including the anger you feel, stems from your low degree of cognitive sophistication.

Fortunately, I'm not a mouth-breathing retard so I don't need to waste my time reading any more low IQ sociology dross, especially if it concerns literal "low cognitive sophistication" concepts like the """left-right spectrum""". A mental midget like you, on the other hand, never learns.

Anyone who takes sociology seriously is a literal subhuman. Hang yourself. Even just the phrase "low cognitive sophistication" already exposes you and the author of this drivel to be a midwit cretin. Anyway, call me back when you have an actual STEM paper published in a legitimate journal, mouth breather.

The only thing I'm mad about is that even STEM departments are suffering from measurable and readily observable degradation as a result of your subhuman politics, which, by the way use (((sociology))) studies for a fig leaf. You and your ilk need to be shot.

Regime flavor. All the top scientists in Germany "just happened to" hold the same beliefs as the nazi party. In the Soviet Union, Soviet scientists "Just happened" to hold the views of the communist party. Scientists are great at math but for them to go against the popular views of their place and time is rare. They outsource their critical thinking when it comes to politics.

Forming mental structures as "shortcuts" to reduce the need for empirical observation is the fucking definition of science.

Then they're not "right-wing politicians", but I'm not surprised that Euroshits call people who literally regurgitate "leftist" talking points "right-wing". What's right-wing about them? Did they request a limit on how many brown migrants are allowed to participate in the weekly gangbang at the school bus stop?

Idk maybe one party didn't rip solar panels off the white house and oppose wind turbines because they cause cancer. Whole lot of competition between the parties for science for sure. If you think a candidate from one party is consistently wrong about your field you get the suspicion that he is wrong in other fields. When the face of one party is to spit in the face of academy for the masses sake you lose faith.
