What are the intellectuals/culture elite in your country like? Here they're typically incredibly left-wing. Anti-American. Appreciators of kitchen sink realism. A lot of sex. And of course they masturbate to the thought of Ingmar Bergman every day. Usually they're also very decadent in one way or another. Often alcoholics.

They'll either say we need to change Australia Day, we need to change the flag, or we need to be a republic. Never "I think we should", always "we need" or "we must". It's fucking annoying.

I can't really define what makes someone intellectual in the first place. I don't think political ideology has anything to do with it, it's more about having a critical thinking and being open-minded regardless of political leaning.

>>8124822 From what I've heard that might be changing. Since todays youths are growing up under different conditions which could lead to them being more conservative. And that sounds plausible to me.

>>8124970 We have beer café's in most cities that specialize in a wide selection of quality beers. Bel Pils is just one of many pilsner beers. Ours are quite good, but it's still simple lager. Restaurants might possibly be more wine oriented. Can't really say for sure.

Left-wing. Adore realism and modern forms of art. They traditionally hate government, Russia and the most of it's population. There are also smaller group of conservators, who wishes to preserve every art in its traditional form, and opposite to 'modernists' in every possible way. Sometimes they attack each other.

In a country where half the population has a post-secondary education, there isn't much difference between the intellectuals and the well-educated. For the most part, university professors ignore politics unless it has to do with someone trying to affect their research in a way that'll make it subjective. We have a couple of writers who do left-wing editorials from time to time, but they don't get much attention (except by people on the left-wing). We also have a lot of people with degrees who tend to be vocal about social justice, breaking down traditional social norms/cultural practices, and art crap, but they get little mention too. >>8124822 My dad graduated from uni in 1974, and he's pretty hardcore right (unless religion is involved). He also came from the working class, and hates socialist economics with a flaming passion. Then again, hippies were hated by the entire population of Canada during their time, so...

>>8124865 Because when businesses don't need to pay exorbitant taxes, they can afford to hire more people and increase efficiency. This necessarily lowers unemployment. Which is why cutting welfare won't actually increase poverty.
