In fact, I probably know as many with questionable and extreme right wing views in certain areas than I do ones without these views.
Finding an individual (not scientist) without some kind of questionable/extreme view is literally like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I disagree because there's a big difference between a blip and the view being central to their worldview.
The examples I listed are cases where the views were absolutely central to their political views, making the views not a "oops" but a strong
part of their identity.
We are talking about if academics are left wing or not, but these views, if held onto strongly, are not left wing views. Ergo academics who
hold these views as core to their politics are not descriptively left wing even if they self-describe as such.
This also constitutes a good argument as so why left vs right is not the best way to talk about this.
Lemme give you an example, I was brought up to hate Turks. All of my schooling was about that. Pure hatred — seeing them as subhuman.
It's not that I'm claiming that these are ppl who would self-define as "right wing" but descriptively their views fall under that heading.
INB4: GMOs cause cancer is a bad left-wing view. It's actually both where I'm from, but yes, in the West it correlated with hippie BS.
Yeah I would guess that it's more typical in leftish people. What about homeopathy though? Also popular amongst conservative (christians).
Yes, it's certainly anti-science.
